Up until this time we did not have ourelectronic journals listed in our OPAC. The desire to make the linking project worth the effortwas just the incentive we needed to finally add these records to the OPAC. I did not have thetime to begin this process until two months after phase two was completed and is still underwayat date of publication. The real power of the linking to the OPAC feature is using the OPAC as acentral point to reach other electronic resources without having to open the OPAC and conductan additional search.Phase 4Phase four is to include our other online commercial databases into the linking chain as

of including ethics in a Control Systems course, it seemed adaunting task, since the lectures were already crammed tight with technical material. Moreimportantly, since the course is a senior-level technical elective, the topics are rather abstract,making it even more difficult to establish linkages with real-world problems. However, as Ibegan to ponder on this during the Ethics Across the Curriculum Workshop, it quickly becameclear that an exposure to ethics could also provide the mechanism to make this material moreconcrete. So I began searching for a pertinent case study that would highlight the importantethical dimensions of control system design. After some searching, I found references for theBART case study from the 1960’s, which

, grading of communications assignments in engineering courses involves writtencomments from the instructor(s) designed to give students feedback on their work. Thus, forwritten assignments the instructor writes comments in the margins and/or general summativecomments at the end or beginning of the paper. Similarly, oral presentation assessments oftenconsist of feedback sheets on which the instructor has written comments during and/or after thepresentation.The ultimate aim of these procedures is of course to improve students’ competence inprofessional communications. However, it often seems doubtful that this goal is achieved. First,written assessments are time-consuming for the instructor, which can cause faculty to be reluctantto give many

The approach discussed here has thepotential to provide useful results while taking into account the amount of time andthe levels of expertise that faculty members can dedicate to all forms of assessment.We need to make continued efforts to overcome the obstacles to effective technicalcommunication assessment. The impetus provided by accrediting organizations canprovide us with opportunities to improve the communication abilities of engineeringand technology students and to improve E&T faculty members’ abilities to teachstudents to “communicate effectively.”Bibliography1.

Students who participated in this classexperienced first hand the internal intricacies of the software industry and its inherentproblems.
