One way to start them at least knowing where to go if help is needed is to have themhunt out all those places on campus that they could tell their friends about when the friend needshelp. They can always say that they were required to find locations on campus for help withfinancial problems, sexual preference issues, late night injuries, or places in the library whereone can study. The scavenger hunt allows them to be knowledgeable as an information aide not aspecific user of the information. Obviously, once they have discovered the information, they arefree to use it without having to ask someone else for it.On-Campus Team HuntsThe last of the scavenger hunts that we use involves the entire class

They are then asked to develop anexperimental procedure to determine the specific weight of each solution. This procedure mustbe designed to reduce experimental error as much as possible. Students typically revert tomaking multiple measurements, which is in-line with what they have been taught to do intraditional laboratory experiments. Consistently, the students arbitrarily pick a volume tomeasure. It is only through guided questions about other experiments such as measuring velocity,that students realize their impact of measurement error will be decreased by measuring thelargest volume possible. Students can understand how to reduce the

Instead,simple electric circuit analysis was used to explain basics with some algebra and calculus. Thisapplied approach was also followed by the textbook1 chosen for this course. Emphasis was spent Page 14.183.2on presenting the material in a consistent and systematic way.

Students usually spend three rotations learning aboutthe environment of their employers. They discover what actually working in engineering is allabout. But they also begin to understand the communication activities that will cause them tosucceed or falter in their careers. Not only must we study what it is that engineers do when they areout on co-op. We must reinforce those activities when they return to campus. This paper willinvestigate the communication needs of co-op engineers and the effect that our increased concernwith their perfection can have on the careers of the young engineer.IntroductionWhen

Our focus was the study of cryptography.Students only needed basic Algebra, and yet we were able to study the integers modulo n, primenumbers, and some simple number theoretic results. We taught the students to programencryption and decryption schemes in Logo, an inexpensive, interactive language readilyavailable to students at home.

In addition, a positive learning attitude has been observedin today’s students who are accustomed to computer use. This improvement is rendered possiblebecause of the ability of the students to proceed at their own pace and obtain online help andbackground information beyond the classroom material, due to the possibility for active studentinteraction, and through the inherent stimulation of audio- and video-based learning patterns.Similarly, multimedia tools represent an efficient means for preparatory laboratory

We also examined our curricula to ensure our students arefamiliar with the trends in manufacturing technology. This problem-based project challenged ourMET students to practice Boothroyd-Dewhurst DFA method and skills. It also helped ourstudents to better understand DFA principles and guidelines. In addition, it allows our students tostrengthen their technology skills, exercise their creativity, and practice their research skills.
