education funding. Therefore, theinvestments must be made in technology that has a direct educational pay off with very little room for failure.The ideal low risk path would involve an evolution of traditional instructional methodology into the emerginghigher education environment of greater teaching obligations combined with students who may be time and/orlocation constrained. Mathcad appeared to offer some assistance along this evolutionary path at least for quantitativeengineering courses. A project of using Mathcad to prepare and distribute lecture notes for a senior/first levelgraduate course in compressible flow was initiated. Since the lecture notes existed in electronic form, the nextlogical step of using other software packages to

The student evaluations were generally positive and thestudents enjoyed the lab sessions where they learned a variety of manufacturing and assemblyprocesses, and developed an appreciation for the working of machine tools and other equipment.The supplemental activities following each manufacturing process helped to tie in the lecture andlaboratory classes.BIBLIOGRAPHY[1] Manufacturing Engineering and Technology,, Kalpakjian, S., and Schmidt, S., 6th Edition, Prentice Hall, 2010..[2] Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Ashby, M.

changed during their doctoral training. From an initial 45% ofmen and 39 % of women entering a PhD program, who claimed they wanted professor positions atresearch-intensive institutions, percentages dropped to 36% and 27% respectively by the end of theprogram. Reasons behind such changes included not wanting “lifestyles like those of their advisers” (p.2) and women recognizing the lack of role models that could manage work and family successfully [4].Popular media plays a role in changing views or perpetuating existing stereotypes and also creates thespace for difficult dialogues [5], [6].

However,presenting the introductory material at a higher level of abstraction might just be as beneficial.Recently, a new electronic design automation tool, Bluespec, has emerged that promises a highlevel of abstraction for digital hardware design. In this paper, Bluespec will be introduced inrelation to current VHDL design concepts

that meet the needs of a broadaudience is analogous to the reuse of software modules: it is difficult to create modules that can be widelyreused. This process is expensive, and with constantly emerging technological areas, modules need to becontinually updated. We have created a framework, ExplaNet, that allows students to author course content for each otherin a guided assessment environment. ExplaNet can be seen as an extension to course discussion boards,which are frequently used to post and answer student questions with instructor moderation. In ExplaNet,the instructors post questions for students to solve, posting their explanations. Explanations can be sub-mitted in a variety of multi-media formats. If questions cover important
tests, individual and groupexams, peer evaluation, and focus group interviews. The results show that students are buildinga better understanding of the main physics concepts, are more successful at solving problems,and are generally on-task and communicating well during group activities.I.

Rather than require engineering and technology programs to conform to a set of Page 5.284.1national standards, the ABET 2000 criteria requires these programs to define their own learningobjectives, use these objectives to develop measurable outcomes
