implementedto meet the changing needs of society and still others are of the opinion that classes need tofocus on teaching the process of learning as much as the material to meet the ever expandingknowledge base. Regardless of the motivation many engineering courses are being "reworked"to utilize the ever increasing technologies brought about by the computer revolution. Thispaper presents the observations of two instructors that have implemented some of the newinstructional tools and techniques in an introductory computer engineering course ofapproximately 100 students. No claim is made that this paper is a how to guide, rather, thispaper is a collection of observations and concerns expressed by instructors and studentsassociated with this course. The

The university is just over 50% women but the Computer Scienceand Engineering (CSE) Department has held steady with roughly 17% women for the pastseveral years. High achieving women are going into fields such as bioengineering, chemistry,math, business, and biological science, but not computer science.

Not only was it fun, but I feel that it really caused me to think on my own and apply basic engineering skills.”Conclusions:The three projects described provide practical experience in applying basic theory in thedesign of thermal systems. By giving students experience in building and testing theirdesigns, these projects give students the satisfaction of seeing how theory does, and doesnot, give them the ability to predict the performance of actual thermal systems.References:1: Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology, Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, Baltimore

Engineeringprograms will be evaluated according to their success in producing students with the ability to:1) apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; 2) design and conductexperiments and interpret data; 3) design a system, component, or process; 4) function on multi-disciplinary teams; 5) identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; 6) understand

The IEEE code of ethics14 was used as the ethicalframework for this discussion. This was followed two weeks later (Lecture 15) with abrainstorming session during which students were divided into groups and asked to listthe great engineering achievements that they expected to see in the next 100 years. Thiswas followed by a discussion of the ethical and cultural challenges that such Page

Institutionalizationoccurs as individuals find it expedient to comply with the rules. Indicators of regulativeinstitutionalization processes (as discussed by ECSEL participants) include:a) Accreditation: By 2001, all engineering schools must be reviewed under new Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria which require that colleges demonstrate that their students have achieved skill competencies in areas such as design, communication, and teamwork. Many ABET-required competencies are introduced in ECSEL first-year courses. ECSEL participants believed that ABET’s new requirements legitimized their
