In addition to his many years of industrial experience, he has taught many different engineering and technology
scientists,mathematicians, or engineers; business or public leaders; and other types of “knowledge workers”and knowledgeable citizens (NSF 1996). American’s business and industry, governments andfoundations must provide active assistance and support to accomplish this important task (NSF1996).Over the past few years national organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE), American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), National Science Foundation(NSF), Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), and National ResearchCouncil (NRC) have sponsored numerous studies to gauge the current status of undergraduateengineering education and to develop an agenda of improvement (ABET 1993, ASCE 1995, NSF1995).

The Stanley Cup of Transport Phenomena Jason M. Keith Department of Chemical Engineering Michigan Technological University Houghton, MI 49931AbstractIt has been argued that it is becoming more difficult to successfully engage today'sengineering student. For example, the standard lecture is popular among faculty but isconsidered boring to students. In fact, some students have chosen to not even attend classon a regular basis. While it is possible (and often desirable) for students to teachthemselves, class attendance has been linked with better performance on exams coveringthe subject material. A

A Jitter Education: Finding a Place for Jitter Analysis in the EET Curriculum Gene L.

It is the phenomenon seen when the rising or falling edge of a digital waveformappears before or after the expected time. This paper describes the basics of timing jitter, how tomeasure and display it, and proposes where and how to incorporate various jitter topics into afour-year electrical engineering technology (EET) curriculum.IntroductionTiming jitter is the phenomenon seen when a

The foundationobjective for the course sequence is that students learn the grammar and syntax
staff to provide enhanced technology services to an underserved community. This visionwas then translated into a network infrastructure upgrade of the Cox Tech Center that met thediverse needs of its users. Problems were identified, and best practices and more effectivemethods of using newer technologies were deployed to address the deficiencies. This process ledto the implementation of an effective solution while using available resources. The organizationchart involved the Cox Tech Center lab, National University faculty, and the Capstone students.Their working relationships and the reporting structure is shown in Figure 1.

The integrated approachprovides a systematic way to link effectives and outcomes examinations efforts usinginformation gained in objectives evaluation to direct outcomes assessment efforts and usingoutcomes assessment findings to adjust the focus and rigor of objectives evaluation efforts.Bibliography1 Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). 1995.

Each classsession is followed by a workshop in which the students work in teams and immediately practicethe concepts previously studied. We use cooperative learning by asking each team to select oneleader of process technology, one of market intelligence, and one of economic evaluation, andby offering specific workshops on these topics to
