Recently, wehave used a quantitative method to assess the amount of time a student studies materialassigned on the web as homework. The technology now enables us to measure the time spenton

aspects of the Clinic that facilitate projects such as the EAP development include: formationof multidisciplinary teams, emphasis on project-based learning, and a client and deliverablefocus. The paper describes the project requirements, formation of the clinic team, conduct of theproject, and an evaluation of the results. From a pedagogical viewpoint, this clinic projectprovided an opportunity for students to learn about important emergent technologies, such as theSmart Grid, which was a topic that was included in the EAP. A second clinic team is continuingthe EAP work during the spring 2011 semester, which emphasizes the need for continuity andmethods to exchange information between student teams.BackgroundThe Rowan University engineering

complement the DCmotor control system (linear, open-loop stable) currently taught in many control systemscourses in electrical and mechanical engineering majors. Combined with the new DSPtechnologies, this will make the control systems courses more exciting. On the otherhand, adding another application in control to the DSP (or signals and systems) courseswill make theses seemingly theoretical courses more interesting. With a goodunderstanding of the C6711 DSK, Students can then use the newest DSP technologies toexplore other applications.1.

They don’t find compelling reasons for them to be engaged and involved inthose courses because they feel the courses are not related to them. To their eyes, the timeand resources spent on those courses do not

There is also a quality issue (the quality of the sanditself) of interest.The videos were created over the spring and summer of 2009. The first opportunity to use thevideos was in a „Production Technology‟ (MET345) course in the fall of 2009. The videos wereincluded into the existing curricula.During MET345 Production Technology (5), the foundry is used to cast metal propellers for toyaircraft. About 500 toys are made each year for the holidays. Each toy is made of donated woodand metal foundry parts.

This approach significantly improved the learningefficiency of the hearing-impaired student, enabling them to perform at a level comparable to theirpeers in software operation and engineering design tasks. The student’s specific feedback andlearning outcomes will be discussed in detail in the subsequent discussion section. The broadersignificance of this work lies in demonstrating the potential of adaptive learning strategies inengineering education, particularly for students with hearing impairments. It highlights thecritical role of inclusivity in technical disciplines and sets a foundation for creating moreaccessible and diverse educational environments.IntroductionAdvancements in educational technology have

Information andcommunication technologies were considered within the model, allowing a technical support duringthe whole project which included the communication and integration of the groups. A virtual char-acter named “Antonio”, was designed in order to accompany the students in their journey throughthe activities that constitute the challenges themselves. The theory that supports this model, themethodology used, as well as the partial results, are exposed in this paper.
