intermediate-level instruction ininstrumentation and data acquisition, appropriate for implementation at the junior or senior level.I. IntroductionUpgrading undergraduate labs to incorporate modern, computer-based instrumentation and dataacquisition is a common area of continuous improvement in engineering programs as facultywork to provide students with instruction in this technology. Upgrades can include theimprovement of a single apparatus such as the heat exchanger upgrade described by Hinton etal.1 or the wind tunnel upgrade described in this paper, or the upgrade of several experimentswithin a lab such as that described by Craig and McConnell 2, or the development of a newlaboratory as described by Knight and McDonald 3, to the integration of

CE400A was developed three years ago, in response to the programdirector’s judgment that the civil engineering program lacked emphasis on professional practiceissues. The course objectives, formulated to address this deficiency, are as follows: • Explain the characteristics of a profession. • Explain the roles and responsibilities of the members of the CE project team—Owner, Design Professional, Constructor, and Project Manager. • Apply the ASCE Code of Ethics to the solution of an ethical problem in civil engineering. • Demonstrate an understanding of the multi-faceted challenges facing

We compare different formats of the seminar as well asinstructors from different academic disciplines. The focus is laid especially on instructors inSTEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) versus non-STEMdisciplines. The data obtained suggest that (1) there are differences between STEM and non-STEM instructors with respect to their initial beliefs, (2) there is noticeable development of theinstructors’ conceptions about teaching and learning as a result of participation in the program,and (3) different formats of the same program may display widely differing effectiveness.1 IntroductionIn recent years
