During the freshman and sophomore years, the studio courses are one-credit hourofferings that focus on the students completing projects.While the goals associated with adding the studio courses are intended to benefit all students,some of these goals are of particular benefit to the older students, including military veterans.Although some new content is taught, these courses are “content light”; the main purpose is forstudents to apply concepts learned in the other courses taken during the same semester.

As one manager stated after the final briefing, “Why wouldn’t we hire this person? They’ve been with us for two years, they at least know where the water fountain and toilets are, and they are already better with new technology than some of our engineers!” Cons: 1. Classroom and other presentations in a school setting can be severely restricted. Project advisors must guard against inadvertent disclosure during discussions and briefings, and access to senior design reports (which ABET teams may want to inspect) must be controlled. 2. The

Such systems rely onrapid communications technology and on distribution systems that make small, frequentdeliveries. In this way, each delivery is smaller, and contains only those materials needed forshort term operations, rather than large, infrequent deliveries based on average needs determined Page 8.797.1Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and Exposition Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering Educationlong in advance.

Student A who is an average student in Engineering Technology. Theprofessors would say this individual is not their favorite student because of a seemingly non-caring attitude in class. The individual doesn’t participate unless called on but is able to answeroral questions well and often asks perceptive questions. The student performs about average ontests but some of answers are excellent and explore an area that even the professor hadn’tthought of. A professor might even suspect cheating because of the wide range of quality onhomework and tests.Meanwhile the student has found a co-op job with a local company, and after several co-opterms, is considered by his boss and co-workers to be one of the best co-op students they haveever had.
