The total network now numbers approximately840 observations wells, with about 115 of these having been assimilated from earlier projects,including some from the original WPA project. The co-op students from Wentworth assistedwith field monitoring of observation well installations and have been measuring water levels inthe wells and reporting the data to the BGwT technical coordinator. Mr. Simonelli actuallybegan work as a co-op student in his sophomore year a decade ago, searching for existingobservations wells, testing wells, surveying rim elevations of roadway boxes and periodicallymaking readings. There are now observation wells at every intersection and in the middle

/) used UNPEPP funding to hire two student interns fromHumboldt State University's (HSU) Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) program todesign renewable energy systems and improve energy efficiency in Redwood National and StateParks (RNSP). As shown in Figure 1, the park is located on the northern California coast,approximately 50 miles from the HSU campus in Arcata. Under the supervision of SERCengineers, the students designed systems that combined load reduction and energy production toreduce the park’s reliance on fossil fuels. In this paper we describe the students’ experiences incollecting relevant data, refining project objectives, selecting the alternative of choice, andreporting the results. We also evaluate the benefits of involving
discussion of the maintopic area, giving special attention to workshop websites and technical papers for possibleemerging trends (e.g., topics within the domain of the main topic area “inheritance”). A websearch engine (such as Google or Yahoo) is used to find additional trends and further evidence ofreferences to the candidate trends. There are two possible scenarios: 1) If the conference andworkshop search identifies any candidate emerging trends, then the student performs a websearch with the combined query of the candidate trend and a helper term such as recent research,novel, emerging trend, etc. Otherwise, 2) the web search uses a combined query of the maintopic area and any of the predefined helper terms. After choosing one of these queries

assertion that traditional engineering undergraduate degreeshave gutted engineering fundamentals in the rush to reduce hours and increase“competitiveness”. Often, the foundation subjects for areas outside of or unrelated to aspecialization are eliminated to accommodate a credit hour ceiling. Providing a focus in thismanner can make an engineering bachelor’s degree look more like a technical or skills degree.[4] The “revolution” referred to by Dr. Clough of Georgia Tech and others, is being forcedby the marketplace. Traditional mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil, industrial, andmanufacturing engineering programs do not prepare students to compete in the rapidly changingworld environment. In one study, which was conducted in two companies

This enables instructional designersto place specific systems in context and to intelligently select the appropriate sub-domain fortheir own purposes. Guidelines are proposed for courses in embedded systems for achievingdifferent objectives.1. IntroductionMark Weiser is regarded as the father of ubiquitous computing.

It became even clearer that it waspossible to make those common goals and interests intersect in creative ways to improve scienceeducation, contribute to the recruitment strategies for both colleges and conduct a researchproject that would examine the effectiveness of the activities implemented. The purpose of this paper is to describe the partnership developed to undertake theUASPP, its organization, the program itself, to present a sampling of the hands-on activities usedin year one of the program, and to provide some preliminary findings regarding the teachers’evaluation of the first institute. Since the program is still in the early stages of implementation,the results do not include qualitative
