application of engineering and technology for the economicdevelopment of their communities, this is a critical form of activity for the faculty. For a uniformtenure and promotion process, a method of peer review is needed to validate this area ofscholarship.While it is great that faculty and students are engaged with improving the lives of the people intheir region, it is important to distinguish the scholarship of application from community serviceor service learning. One widespread view of scholarship is that it requires dissemination of theresults. When working with industry, dissemination of proprietary technical results is notpossible. However, incorporation of such technical results in a manufacturing setting certainlyhas involved a

Authorware Web Player *.1. BackgroundMany instructors believe that among the reasons that students consider electromagnetics,microwaves, and antennas to be difficult is that humans cannot sense the phenomena beingstudied without the aid of instruments. In recent years, several visualization tools have beendeveloped using Fortran, Visual Basic, and Java1-4. The author and co-PI Professor Elsherbenisettled on Authorware (AW) as a multimedia development tool during work on two NSF ILIgrants to introduce multimedia instruction into electrical engineering laboratories5,6. In 1996,Macromedia introduced “shockwave” technology that compressed and segmented packaged AWfiles for delivery over the internet via a user’s browser. The modules described here
a Ph.D. in Leadership and Policy Studies from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. Teaching in- terests relate to the professional development of graduate engineering students and to leadership, policy, and change in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Primary research projects explore the preparation of engineering doctoral students for careers in academia and industry and the de- velopment of engineering education assessment tools.

thisobjective, the authors will also share student feedback on the course that was collected throughmid- and end-of-semester surveys for nearly twenty undergraduate students. The authors believethat a classroom environment that emphasizes discovery – where students act as researchers andplay an active role in building their own knowledge – is a format that can be readily adapted toother engineering disciplines; furthermore, it can inspire higher-level thinking and lead to a moreengaging learning experience.IntroductionIn a status report prepared for the National Research Council’s Board of Science Education,Fairweather1 states there is prevailing evidence that there are greater student learning gains inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM
that can be used in science, math,engineering and technology. The course is based on: a) well established systematic and non-systematic approaches to inventive problem solving, b) results from NSF support to FAU onunified frame for inventive problem solving strategies, c) proven successful methods that havebeen used in high-tech innovative industries, and d) on going E-teams projects sponsored by theNational Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA).One of the core ideas of the class is the Eight-dimensional methodology for inventive andinnovative problem solving. It is a systematic approach that stimulates innovation by effectivelyusing both sides of the brain. The methodology is a unified approach that builds oncomprehensive

There consequently is an emerging body of literature that has examined theimpact of the REU program on students’ early engagement in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM), persistence and retention in a STEM major, and integration into STEMculture [3]. Yet, little is known about how the program supports students and how students learnthrough their research experiences. The extent to which the design of the REU programs haverelied upon existing studies has also been questioned by National Academies of Science,Engineering, and Medicine [2]. A joint report emphasized the need to investigate the mechanismsfor how the REU program works, why they work

Visco, Jr. Tennessee Technological University Department of Chemical Engineering Cookeville, TN 38506AbstractWith regards to tenure, newly-minted professors normally must focus on two main areas:research and teaching. While history has provided useful metrics to evaluate research (refereedjournal publications, funded proposals, theses advised, etc), proper assessment of teaching ismore elusive. For example, many institutions use some sort of

instructors wouldhave to be much more proactive to get the students to use the courseware enough to begin to seeits benefits for themselves. We believe that this study has amply validated this hypothesis.Instructional technology is coming to be considered an increasingly vital component of highereducation in the coming decades, particularly with the rise in importance of distance education.As anyone who has ever tried it knows, however, developing courseware is an extremely costlyoperation in time or money or both.

Prototyping a prototype-based project with minimal equipment requirementsAbstract: This full paper describes the design, implementation, and reception of a prototype-baseddesign project for first-year engineering students in an introductory course. This project wasintroduced in a course that previously lacked authentic physical design due to the limited accessto prototyping equipment. Prior student projects were confined to design and computer modelingand simulation elements only, with hands-on activities restricted to measurement-based labs. Thenew project incorporated concept development by the students along with physical prototyping oftheir design using and a combination of reusable components and disposable inexpensive supplies.The

students.13-17 Critics have stated that such methods detract from the time available for presenting new material to their classes, but proponents counter with evidence that active learning exercises allow instructors to cover at least the same amount of material as a traditional class, if not more.18 One area that seems very appropriate for the application of these ideas is in mathematics courses taught to an exclusively engineering audience. An example of such a situation is a course on probability and statistics taught exclusively for electrical and computer engineers. Since the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology specifically requires electrical and computer engineers to demonstrate an ability to apply the laws of probability and
