It should be noted that the minor chosen can not be in the same discipline as themajor (CET majors can not take a CET minor at ODU), but often related minors include some ofthe courses that are required in the core curriculum from other departments making thisrequirement easier to meet with a minimum number of credit hours.

A Massively Large Student Modeling Assignment (MLSMA) Dr. Jon M. Duff Information and Management Technology Arizona State University Abstract Most curricula in engineering and technology find a “capstone project” to be highly beneficial in preparing soon-to-be-graduated majors. One consideration that confounds a successful capstone project is matching a task of sufficient significance with realistic expectations of student success. Students may possess the requisite skills but a project that tests those skills may be difficult to identify. But more likely

business and entrepreneurship area. While use of the modular approachprovides increased flexibility for students, it also tends to compress curricular contentwhich significantly increases the challenge of incorporating engaged pedagogies withinthe classroom. To provide a balance between active learning and increased flexibility,courses were divided into skills oriented classes and courses with a significant activelearning component. Skills classes make extensive use of a multi-media approach andindependent study options. For courses requiring extensive use of active learningcomponents, an inverted classroom approach is used to provide more extensive deliveryof content outside of the regular class time.
