Bringing the evaluator into a laboratorythat looks like a junk room is a sure way to make a bad impression in this area. This criterion alsodeals with student learning opportunities with modern engineering technology tools.

The usability evaluation lab andspecific methodology is part of the curriculum in the Computer Science, Software Engineering,and Information Technology degrees.Quality in Handheld ComputingIn the quest for quality, software developers are focusing on the improvement of the ingredientthat impacts the user of a software system the most, the interface1. The interface will besignificantly improved when a design method called user-centered design is used in thedevelopment of the software product. The user-centered design methodology includes theevaluation of the interface by typical users during multiple milestones of the lifecycle.4 Apowerful resource in this endeavor of interface development is the usability evaluation laboratory.A

Faculty members are beginning to buy into the idea that retention ratesand graduation rates must be improved in order to bring public accountability to the table incurriculum planning. Developing courses that are motivating and exciting will certainly helpthis cause. This is in contrast to the prior faculty beliefs that (1) it is not their responsibility tomotivate and excite students, (2) students should be motivated by what the future will bringwhen they earn their degrees, and (3) should be excited by the course materials under theassumption that they chose their major based on interest.Anderson-Rowland [4] reported that a students’s reaction to first-year engineering courses is akey to retention, and Tinto [5] reported

Session 2793 Sundials Make Interesting Freshman Design Projects Dr. Richard Johnston, Dr. Lisa Anneberg Electrical and Computer Engineering Lawrence Technological UniversityAbstract: The design of sundials makes an ideal design project for students enrolled in Intro toEngineering courses for several reasons. First, the task requires some computation, but the level ofcomputation is accessible to any engineering freshman (nothing beyond trigonometry). Second, theproject requires the use of simple hand-tools and some simple mechanical
workers, rapid development of information and communication technologies, growing callsfor social responsibility6, and rising complexity of engineered products2 all warrant engineeringstudents’ development of skills with which to situate their technical work. Furthermore, theincreasingly diverse engineering workforce and marketplace require “cultural competence”; thatis, a willingness and ability to consider culture in engineering problem-solving7. Therefore, ourdefinition of engineering design expertise should include an ability to design in context.It is generally assumed that in any given field, people begin as novices and as they practice overtime, develop into experts8,9. An expert is an individual who consistently performs with a highlevel
Society for EngineeringObjective 1 requires the students to follow a specific development process throughout the year.In fact, it is a process that models as closely as possible the steps that many product teams use inmany high-technology companies. Unfortunately, logistics prohibit some of the marketing andmanufacturing steps.Solving an open-ended problem, Objective 2, requires the student to use their mathematic,science, and engineering fundamentals to propose, analyze, and evaluate alternate solutions.Often, the student teams will model several possible design options, generate performance data,and select the solution based on meeting required specifications.This capstone design sequence involves more then a theoretical design.

Multimedia projects founded by theNSF and the Department of Education suggest that visualization, animation and interactive simulationeffectively help learners understand abstract concepts. However, there has been no major instances ofa multimedia approach to EET electric machine courses.In 1998, the Division of Engineering Technology (DET) at Wayne State University (WSU) hadconducted a project to develop computer based instruction (CBI) materials for an Electric Machinescourse for the NSF-funded Greenfield Coalition (NSF-GC) for Manufacturing Education [5-8].

creativelyand solve problems and acquire higher order thinking skills. Particularly technological studentsare to be competitive in the years to come where faculty needs to be able to provide theirstudents with the cognitive strategies that will enable them to think critically, make decisions,and solve problems. According to Leutner1, in traditional education, the teacher is responsible forthe students' learning. Teachers typically lecture to students who take notes and then memorizeand recall the material to perform well on examinations. This type of learning environment is notappropriate for engineering students who bring life skills and increased reasoning ability to theclassroom. In such a situation, it may be appropriate for students to take

developing potential leaders among their faculty members.Currently the development efforts predominantly focus on core engineering expertise, which is acritical requirement in the ever-changing world of technology. However, there is a need toextend those efforts to leverage pedagogical innovations and to identify and develop leaders. Theauthors are working on this aspect (of developing leaders) at some Indian engineeringinstitutions and, the proposed framework is based on their experience. While the individual elements of the framework have been used at various institutions, itsfull implementation has not yet been completed to assess ultimate benefits. Based on ourexperience of partial implementations, we learnt that conducting workshops is
