Anadditional feature of this service is that it is free to the student.This paper will discuss the process used to identifying tutor and the method of outreach to thestudents. In addition, this paper will review the findings of a survey that was conducted duringthe fall 2005 semester. This assessment was designed to establish a baseline for the program andidentify areas for improvement. Specific goals included: • Defining organizational

answers are even in the back of the textbooks.Several Indian and Chinese students also say that homework is almost inevitably pen and paper;electronic submission is unknown.This approach can best be understood as a tradeoff between the quality of learning and theresources required to achieve it. Where student numbers are huge and teaching assistants rare ornonexistent, no one has the time to do a thorough job of grading homework. The best tradeoff isto treat homework simply as practice for exams. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is,this leads many students to postpone learning and then cram for exams, with a consequentsuperficiality in learning. The American system is better able to prevent this, though it stilloccurs to some extent, but

The communication system is hidden to thestudents. The GUI, follows the plug-and-play philosophy, which avoids the training andconfiguration time that every experimental laboratory demands. This interface allows students tointeract with real process systems. Several control strategies can be easily implemented based onMatlab/Simulink or compiled on ANSI C scripts.This paper is organized in

The choice for our program wasthen to lose a highly talented educator or find an arrangement whereby she could start her familyand contribute to the success of the program at the same time. In this paper, we discuss thearrangement that was made approximately four years ago. Our young female faculty, who hasstarted a family with two children and a third on the way, is now teaching and conductingresearch half-time and performing admirably.

Intracourses can be used to address severaldifficult curriculum design challenges.

Current trendstoward increasing general education requirements reduce available time and other resources forspecialized engineering courses.

The extensive research oncognitive errors is used to provide a systematic analysis of these examples and approaches tominimizing the impact of unintended bias through promoting awareness are presented.Background:Despite that most universities have stated goals of diversity and non-discrimination, it iswell established that gender inequities remain among the university faculty, especiallywithin engineering

Becauseat the time of the first survey only a small number of alumni and employers wereavailable to participate, it was important to maximize the response rate. Employers wereencouraged to respond by providing each alumnus with a cover letter from the programchair, a release form that relieved the employer from liability related to the release ofprivate information and the program’s questionnaire. All of the alumni who graduated inthe first class of graduates were able to use this method to convince their employers torespond. The response rate was 100%.
