learningmethods. New technologies and software, however, permit the practical implementation ofmastery learning models. Motivated by the ubiquity of MATLAB in most engineeringdisciplines, this paper develops a general framework for using the MATLAB Webserver toaccomplish mastery learning in engineering courses. Essentially, the MATLAB Webserverserves as a replacement for human proctors. With minimal programming, instructors caneffectively harness MATLAB’s web interface and delivery tools to promote mastery learningand improve student education.To help illustrate mastery learning with the MATLAB Webserver, this paper details a pilot studyinvolving electrical engineering students enrolled in a junior-level signals and systems course atNorth Dakota State
Session 1547 Showing RLC Circuit Resonance with Electronics Workbench Chong Chen, Walter W. Buchanan Middle Tennessee State University/Oregon Institute of Technology AbstractIn circuit analysis courses, RLC circuit resonance is a topic that is difficult to teach withoutdemonstration. The physical demonstration of this topic requires several kinds of circuitcomponents and equipment. Some of these devices may not be available in a typical engineeringor engineering technology department laboratory.This paper presents teaching RLC circuit resonance with Electronics Workbench

Every year there were more than 15 schools and 300kids come to the event; they spent a whole day for competition,demonstration and tours of engineering and technology labs in WVU. The event has caught attention from government education agents,private education foundations and industrial sectors. The sponsor pool ofthe competition has been growing up year-by-year, which includes theWVU, WV State Agency, Toyota Inc, Parallax Inc, WV Educationdepartment, WV Logan County School Distinct, WV Tech PrepFoundation, Appalachia Education Lab and etc. This event provide WVU students, particularly, the members of thestudents robots club, a great opportunity to serve the community and learnthe skill to organize

WEB-BASED VISUALIZATION: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO PROVIDING TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION Kevin W. Hall, Rafael Obregón Engineering Technology, Western Illinois UniversityAbstractFor some time, computer graphics and illustrations have been used to convey informationbetween customers and suppliers and between teachers and students. Procedures and tools usedto convey information have dramatically changed. However, one idea has not: Graphicalinformation can be interpreted more quickly and more accurately than information transmittedthrough written or spoken language.Today, there is an increasing demand for visualization tools in both manufacturing andeducation. Visualization is

even graduate students in STEM. First, mostengineering graduate students are funded, and most are funded for their research. Further,time to degree completion for engineering doctoral students is low—on average about 5years—since engineering research is typically funded on grants or industry sponsorship thatencourages results and publication. The culture of engineering departments, even thoughcultures vary between departments and institutions, is different than those of other science,technology, and math departments, which often have different structures for research groups,mentorship, and expectations of graduate students. Therefore, we posit that we must studyengineering graduate students separately from students in other disciplines, though

Further,the quantitative and qualitative outcomes will be used specifically to refine the laboratoryexperience of the electrical engineering undergraduate students at UNL. Through disseminationof the results of this laboratory adaptation in the College of Engineering and Technology atUNL, it is possible to influence the curriculum in other departments, possibly providing theimpetus for future cross-disciplinary laboratory projects.ELEC 304 Quantitative and Qualitative

It is difficult for distance programs to provide the learning fromlive interactive discussions and hands-on activities. However, DE programs aredeveloping new ways to address some of these limitations and new technologies andcommunication infrastructures continue to provide better solutions. Also, these DEclasses can also provide new ways to enable schools to provide EM education.

Native American participation in Math,Science and Engineering careers. Activities for the five year proposal period focus on attractingthe Native American high school students to the tribal colleges, retaining them through thecollege, facilitating their smooth transfer to the university, and motivating them for higherstudies. Because of the vast distances involved between each of the five tribal colleges and theuniversity, and the sparsely populated nature of the region, distance education technology willnecessarily play a key role. For example, some of the activities will be over a two-way videonetwork (Interactive Video Network) connecting all of these colleges and the university.
