This process also provides students with a broader knowledge (of two related fields)in the area of computer technologies, while preparing them to face diverse challenges ofcorporate environment.Future workWe want to expand our common assignment to Software Engineering and IT operations tracks.Furthermore, we intend to repeat our methodology over multiple semesters, compare obtainedresults and accumulate data to better guide us in program developed for our department. Ourmethodology would help students understand that in any corporate company, these four tracksco-exist and cross fertilize.

3 Iowa State University 4 University of San FranciscoAbstractThis work presents the results of an assessment instrument designed to assess the progressivelearning of ethics in the engineering curriculum at different stages known as acclimation,competency, and proficiency, and to determine the relation of the development stages with threecomponents that contribute to learning: interest, knowledge and strategic processing. Thequestions in the instrument were defined following the Model of Domain Learning (MDL) tocapture the level of ethics skill development. The questionnaire was administered to engineeringstudents of increasing class standing (i.e., freshmen to senior). The results show that the

For example the Force Concept Inventory pre-scoreversus post-score data can be analyzed, and the regression slope has been interpreted as related tothe learning gain after a semester of mechanics. The pre-score and post-score data can also bestudied with latent variable modeling. The free student version of the modeling program, LISREL5 . A quick start step by step instruction set for running LISREL on Windows is described in thispaper, using a simulated dataset of force and acceleration. The extension of the latent variablemodeling technique to

oftenregarded as facts to be memorized and mastered through repetition. At the same time, judgment-forming skills are needed by students to compel them to think about examples and problems in awider context.Facts and memorizationThere are many facts in physics for an engineering student to remember. The memorization ofhow free body diagrams are constructed to how integrals are to be implemented in problemsconcerning magnetism is already quite a challenge, but students need also to practice usingjudgment when they are presented with new examples and situations that require the linking ofknown facts with information given in a problem at the end of a chapter or a test. The laws ofconservation and related formulas are easier for students to remember when

mechanicalengineering and mechanical engineering technology programs. Not only it is important to teachstudents the concept of design, it is also important for them to be able to “connect the dots”; bybeing able to apply tools, skills, and knowledge they gained, in design projects as well as in otherengineering courses. A great way to achieve this goal is through applied learning experiences.Applied learning is an instructional approach that includes various methods of teaching such as:project-based learning, hands-on learning, experience-based learning, service-learning, etc. In aneffort to provide freshman engineering technology students an applied learning experience, twoinnovative approaches have been developed and implemented to the freshman level

Students are then asked to list their project choices at the end of the first weekafter discussion sessions with the related faculty supervisors. Our previous REU program datashowed that students usually would be worrisome about selecting information extraction projectsas their first priorities. The reasons could include a bias attitude towards data mining, difficulty inthe perceived computation, etc
