The DVD also included interviews withindustry CEOs; the Community College Chancellor; deans; faculty and students from the CTCommunity Colleges and COT 4-year partner institutions. The DVD was designed in 5 to 8minute sections. This allowed educators the flexibility to view particular segment(s) withouthaving to watch the entire DVD. The DVD was distributed statewide and nationally and wasvideo streamed on the COT RCNGM website (www.nextgenmfg.org)Another statewide initiative was an ad that highlighted a Hispanic, female COT EngineeringTechnology alumnus from Norwalk CC who completed her A.S. degree

time, students have a theoretical understanding of the operation of these gates, havingderived truth tables in lecture. In this activity, students wire up pushbuttons to the input(s) ofeach gate and connect the output of the gate to an LED. Stepping through all possible inputcombinations, the truth table for each gate is verified. This not only reinforces the theoreticalconcepts, especially for those students who have a more sensory, active learning style, butintroduces students to wiring and illustrates how a simple device such as an LED can be veryuseful in verifying circuit operation and in debugging a circuit.In order to complete the Exploration component of this laboratory exercise (a scrolling 7-segment display), students must be able to

Key responsibilities of these positions include: identification of projects ofappropriate scope, cost and duration, management of sponsor expectations related to projectoutcomes and deliverables, and overall management of sponsor relationships. Furthermore,these positions are organizationally housed within academic unit(s), as opposed to reportingdirectly through the University’s development or corporate relations offices. This structuremaintains the emphasis on Senior Design and Enterprise as educational programs, and allows thestaff to objectively address the needs and interests of the University, the students, and the projectsponsor.

As a primary example, consider one of the lessons inthe Biomaterials course that focuses on corrosion. Instead of telling the students that today’slesson will cover concepts simply related to corrosion, and that they should study the assignedreading prior to the lesson, the following lesson objectives are also listed: a. Explain the thermodynamic reason for corrosion and develop the Nernst Equation. b. Analyze Evans plots and polarization curves to better understand corrosion rates. c. Discuss the various types of corrosion, and understand the differences between them.Hopefully it is

theirselection of projects. Consistently and overwhelmingly, the most important aspect to students isthe subdiscipline(s) of civil engineering that the project emphasizes. One concern of the facultywas that an international project would be more work for the student team compared withdomestic projects. The responses to Questions 6 and 7 show that on average, all students feelthey work slightly harder on their project compared to the other groups. Therefore, there isprobably no difference in time spent by teams on an international project compared with teamson a domestic project. Page 13.791.6Table 1.

in need of modification, and educators who find themselves with theopportunity to start a capstone program from the ground up.Olin College BackgroundFranklin W. Olin College of Engineering is a new, four-year engineering school in Needham,Massachusetts. The college was started and funded by the New York-based Olin Foundation,which has awarded grants totaling more than $300 million to construct and fully equip 72buildings on 57 independent college campuses. Starting in the late 1980's, the National ScienceFoundation and engineering community at large started calling for reform in engineeringeducation. In order to serve the needs of the growing global economy, it was clear that engineersneeded to have business and entrepreneurship skills
and a Q/A session with camp staff and Department faculty, parents metwith counselors from Admission and a local high school. The meeting’s objective was tointroduce the parents to the plan(s) of study that would best prepare their child for successfulstudies in the STEM disciplines at a major research university. The Associate Dean forUndergraduate Studies was also available for questions and comments. The campers made theirfinal preparations for the Challenge while their parents attended this meeting. Reunited in thelargest of the classrooms for the Challenge, families cheered on their campers as the teamscompeted. Media coverage, both print6 and TV7, of Challenge activities in the second sessionadded to the excitement. An awards and
significantinfrastructure challenge. Brazil has struggled to provide adequate water, electricity, roads andhighways services for its burgeoning population. Today, many areas of Brazil have madepromising advances in infrastructure but demand outpaces the rate of advance. For instance,while water treatment facilities grew by 80% in the 1990’s, demand for treated water grew by450%. The regions of greatest growth during this time period were the heavily urbanized Page 13.190.8Northeast and the Southeast [2].Water treatment is a process that is as significant to a population, as it is delicate and unstable.

school,but working in groups in college is a complete different experience. In high school, working in agroup for me would usually mean that I did all the research and then (would) tell everyone elsewhat I needed them to do for the completion of the project. A complete turn around from highschool was college. Now, working in a group means that we all do our individual research andmeet and discuss thing(s) together as a real team.” Hopefully these students will continue to bein good teams throughout college.Only a few students said that they expected to get close to the grades that they had predicted.Several students said that getting a 3.25 or 3.5 so they could keep their scholarships was a goodenough goal.
