, service initiatives, and teaching various courses, leave many facultywith little time to develop teaching effectiveness.Classroom management is a critical concern in academia. Unfortunately, most universityfaculty have not had any formal training on classroom management. Consequently, manyare left on their own to figure out how to competently teach and manage their students’behavior and performance1. Often, faculty resort to trial and error experimentation, withsome imitating the techniques used by experienced colleagues or former instructors.Fortunately, successful classroom management skills can be learned and developed. Theauthor’s experience as a teacher and industrial supervisory-leadership trainer helped himto recognize that many leadership

Asuccessful engineering education model must include and initiate new and diverse methods inorder to effectively determine and address the current and forthcoming needs in the training ofengineers and technologists.In an effort to implement a novel and effectual educational method within the undergraduateelectrical engineering curriculum at Morgan State University, we developed an application calledEM-Viz designed to visualize the conceptual nature of basic electromagnetic principles. Theapplication’s ability to compute and visualize electromagnetic quantities and concepts increasesstudents’ comprehension of these concepts, thus permitting them to appreciate the complexitiesof the material by

This can be determined from the executive summaries the groupssubmit at that point. The number of patent disclosures and provisional patents awarded per termwill indicate both the quality of the project and the performance of the groups, as groups that filepatents typically are further along in their project.
