However, designing and implementing polymorphic solutions ischallenging for novice programmers because polymorphism is an emergent consequence ofcorrectly using multiple OO language features.

community members. Even as students have good intentions, there is atendency to focus on what seems solvable over what community members indicate are priorities.This is a result of years of outcomes-focused, over relational, educational practices. In theabsence of meaningful relationships, it is easy to lose sight of the purpose of communityengagement. Technologies that students create do not serve the needs of community partners,and community partners suffer as a result.At the same time, engineers’ desire to help and strong work ethic lend themselves well toworking on issues of social justice [3]. In recent years, critical pedagogy has influenced service-learning programs as educators have attempted to engage the action-reflection

This research project uses case-based reasoning (CBR), an artificialintelligence (AI) approach that overcomes most of the drawbacks of rule-based expertsystems (e.g., codification of the knowledge base) by looking for previous cases that aresimilar to the current problem and reusing them to solve the problem.

Reviewing current curricula of civil engineering or constructionengineering/management, one would find scant information that can deal with this subject that ismulti-dimensional in its scope. The following is presented as a model for inclusion in a courserelated to heavy construction or large infrastructure projects. Although dealing with constructionimpacts is required on publically funded project, the process is equally rigorous on privatelyfunded projects.The material related to construction impacts and the development of a mitigation plan forconstruction engineering/construction management students may be divided as follows: • Freshman Year – Introduction to

This state of affairs is a consequence of the fact that security awareness iscurrently not part of the curriculum.In this paper we highlight a cybersecurity program at Boise State University that includes anintroductory class on CPS security.

The first part of the book discusses induction motor theory, its equivalentcircuit diagram and speed-torque function11 . The E-book uses the steady-state induction motormodel found in most texts that includes rotor and stator resistances, leakage reactances andmagnetizing reactance1-5. Slip relates the mechanical load to the motor circuit model through avariable resistance that is a fraction of the rotor resistance. The E-book continues with the timevalue

Maynard and Kuempel2 explore this idea further, noting that the scale-dependentproperties of nanomaterials are not necessarily associated with particle diameter, but withmaterial. Although these two criteria relate to inhalation exposure, they are sufficiently broadto encompass all potential routes of exposure, and provide a useful working framework fordistinguishing between materials and products that are less likely to present health risks thanthose that are more likely to have some adverse health implications.

For reform to be sustained, faculty members moving in newdirections must be made to feel that they are not alone, but are part of a network of similarlyconcerned colleagues. Here are several ideas for faculty developers to accomplishing thisobjective.• Form an interest group. Workshop alumni form a logical nucleus for a group that meets periodically (e.g., at a monthly brown-bag lunch) to talk about matters of common interest. Someone in the group should take responsibility for providing a focal issue for the next meeting: it might be a recent paper in ASEE Prism or the Journal of Engineering Education, or a contribution to an education-related listserver like STLHE or AAHE, or a problem that occurred

In this method, some universitiesmailed the materials to students on a regular basis. This arrangement was somewhat successful forbusiness, psychology and a few other disciplines. However, engineering was not typically offered this way.All and all, this approach to distance education had little success (at least in offering engineeringeducation) and often times was not taken seriously.The electronic age ushered a number of alternative distance learning programs.

Upper level students should practice managing the team while lower level students should practice that aspect of the project in which they are currently taking courses as well as assimilate new concepts.Past VITDP projects indicate that we are making progress in reaching our goals and a fulllongitudinal study to verify this is planned. In this paper, we concentrate on the following specificlearning outcomes for which we quantify what students know or can do: • Students should be able to identify the attributes of a good team. • Teams should demonstrate the characteristics of effective teamwork • Students
