theopportunity to use live motion capture technology in the course, exposing students to a tool oftenused in motor learning, motor control and biomechanics research. Through utilizing motioncapture, kinesiology students were able to review real-time footage of juggling with the use ofretroreflective markers. Motion capture technology is heavily utilized in many different fields, such as sportsperformance, entertainment and computer-generated imagery, and even the security industry [1].Many educators have used motion capture to help teach engineering [8], biomechanics [4], andbiomedical engineering [2]. Through motion capture, students are able to watch real-time footageof experiments conducted in the lab. We arranged to have kinesiology students

semester. The Teaching Improvement Program is part of the UW-Madison College of Engineering's endeavor to "help meet the needs of society in the 21st century by … creating the next generation of engineering leaders (UW-Madison College of Engineering's Dean Bollinger as quoted in the College's Vision 2000 brochure)." This focus on leadership skills for engineering students emerged over the last 15 years as part of a longstanding effort to link curricula with workplace skill sets. The technological explosion of the 1980's brought with it an urgent need for technical professionals with communications skills, and the College of Engineering responded by launching a Technical Communications Certificate program in 1988.

in ways of which human engineers can only dream. Far more complex than any computer or robot…’ The author then goes on to describe the flagella of bacteria that are made of ‘rings, tiny bearings, and rotors’ and that spin about ’15,000 rpm.’ Today in the 21st century with all of the extensive advanced technology available, humans have not come close to designing something so complex, so miniaturized as bacteria. In fact the search is on for a living computer chip. This example of the bacteria only scrapes the surface of the amazing complexities and systems of life that engineers can only hope to mimic.”This question of “Why study Biology?” reappeared every time that a class discussion was

According to a study of community colleges inCalifornia, only one in four students wanting to transfer or earn a degree/certificate did so withinsix years.1 The completion rates for African American and Hispanic students are even lower,with only 15% of African American students and 18% of Latino students completing a degree orcertificate within six years, compared to 27% of Caucasian students, and 33% of Asian students.For Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields, lower success and retentionrates for minority students are observed at both community college and university levelsresulting in underrepresentation of minority groups in these professions.

In addition, the integrated approach developed inthis project helps students understand how to interface computational and experimentalapproaches to solve an engineering problem and allows them to evaluate the significance of eachcomponent in engineering analysis, design and research. The exposure of students to finiteelement modeling at an early stage in their undergraduate education is expected to broaden theirunderstanding of engineering and improve their preparedness for engineering

technology has not advanced as rapidly as processor power consumption, and this limits the mean time between recharges. • The more obvious approaches to constraining power consumption, such as disk spindown and turning off the screen have already been implemented. More complex approaches are now being pursued for additional savings. • The aggregate power consumption of computers is no longer a negligible fraction of the total power consumption in the United States4. Approaches to reduce such power consumption can therefore be expected to make a measurable impact on the overall power consumed in the country.There has been very little done in electrical engineering curricula to develop students’ skills andabilities to
