Thisinhibits use of the web for such distribution, but as this capability increases, web distributionwill become more popular and effective.VI. Rewards Remain Dim for Digital ScholarshipMany faculty members and administrators remain skeptical about the quality and effectivenessof online research and teaching. That skepticism–in some cases, outright hostility–candiscourage young faculty members from using online media. Other issues include the extra timeonline projects take, as well as opposition in some quarters to attempts by faculty members todesignate their work in digital instruction as a form of

Engineering students in an introductory engineering materials course wereasked to complete a survey on their perceptions of cheating; therefore, all results are self-reported. The goal of the pilot study is to establish student attitudes about what does andwhat does not constitute cheating and the frequency of student cheating. In addition, thepilot study was intended to help the researchers identify best practices for conducting amore complete research project. The overall objective of the research is to establishuseable approaches for faculty to curtail the pressure to cheat which engineering studentsmay feel.I. IntroductionFor many instructors, efforts
electronics course, is an excellent wayto stimulate students’ imagination. This paper has provided a guide to some of the ways thatsimulation can be developed and profitably used in such a course.PSpice lends itself nicely to a hierarchical presentation structure. Presenting subsystems initiallyin terms of functional blocks allows students to quickly grasp the fundamental functions of acircuit. Refinement to actual electronic components is then straightforward. Perhaps mostimportantly, allowing students to “test drive” fundamental communication circuits and play onthe fly with important design parameters in circuits they are building makes labs, projects, andclasses much more interesting and educational

With practice, this takes about 20 minutes.Though it is up to the instructor to either use the blackboard or a computer to project theprepared lecture notes, both instructors preferred to use the computer. This will probably also bethe case in the spring semester. Further, both instructors have converted their notes into trueHTML, rather than into scans of hand-written notes. This represents a significant effort and isprobably inspired by the increased visibility of having the lectures publicly available.2 ObjectivesThe main objective of our program is to

Unfortunately, these important decisions are currently based on a little local data and roughrules of thumb. The main goals of this research project were: • To investigate novel applications and employ proven tools from the theory of dynamical systems and from control theory to the factory-wide resource scheduling (decision) problem and product release generation in semiconductor manufacturing, and • To develop a model for university-industry dialog in the semiconductor manufacturing area by having industry personnel and interdisciplinary faculty and students working as active participants in the
the software allows the floating-pointTMS320C31 to directly implement the fixed-point filtering algorithm. This enhancementrepresents a considerable cost and timesavings for both the student and professor since only onetype of digital signal processor is required.1. IntroductionModern software tools such as MATLAB greatly facilitate the professor's ability to demonstrate theconcepts of digital signal processing (DSP) in class, and to assign realistic projects to reinforcethese concepts.1–3 An increasing number of DSP textbooks are available which take advantage ofthis ability,4–9 and a growing trend is for DSP concepts to be introduced earlier in thecurriculum.10 These concepts can be further reinforced, and greater interest generated by
most people.Exploitation of resources for short-term economic gain can also be necessary. Theconflict between conservation and exploitation creates ethical dilemmas leading to anexamination of individual and societal values. This appendix briefly surveys selected topics that are not typically part ofengineering curricula. Ethics, ecological design, resource economics issues, and criteriafor a quality project are presented to stimulate understanding and compassion forwidely diverse views. A case study involving the tension between conservation anddevelopment is also presented. The goal is not to define a “one size fits all” ethical position. Each person needsto be able to raise a conscientious defense for positions taken when
secondary schools will use the following format: 1. Written agreements must be developed and are to be made only after an appropriate reviewof all course related materials and objectives for a specific study program at the individualsecondary school or School Corporation. 2. Agreements may not authorize blanket credit for any secondary school course. Dual creditcannot be awarded in any secondary school course unless previously approved as an AdvancedCollege Project (ACP) course by Indiana University.3. Individual competencies for each student must be pre-identified and measured or approvedby the School of Engineering and Technology for credit or for a waiver to be considered. 4. Options for students may include waiver of courses, advanced standing

Thelast laboratory session, for ELET Laboratory IV, may be offered as a new course, ELET 3641Senior Design Project, in the last year of the program. We anticipate requiring at least twofaculty members and one teaching assistant on each Saturday. Two sections will be offeredsimultaneously on the UNC Charlotte campus on four Saturdays. With the cooperation of Wake Technical College, two similar special sections oflaboratory sessions are being planned for the students at the Raleigh site to preclude their havingto make the 3-hour drive to Charlotte.

The infusion of diversityinto the field of civil engineering in the United States yields numerous advantages, including amultifaceted project perspective, heightened project value, the enrichment of knowledge, talent,and ideas, access to expansive networks, and the production of superior final products necessaryfor global competitiveness in infrastructure [2]. Consequently, achieving this imperative requiresa comprehensive examination of the

Therefore, effortsshould be made to address the unique hurdles that female Hispanics encounter in STEM [16] toreduce the gender gap.In past years, research projects have highlighted the benefits of combining traditional teachingmethods with computer technology in education [17]. An example of this technology isAugmented Reality (AR). AR allows the user to see and interact with computer-generatedinformation overlayed in the real world. AR has been recognized as a practical andsupplementary teaching tool that can greatly improve traditional teaching methods [10]. AR canbe used as an interactive tool that combines the real world with the digital world to createflexible learning and enrich

with problems that necessitated the synthesis of multiple strategies. We planto incorporate additional course components, such as applied problems or projects, alongsideassessments of individual learning targets for future iterations of the course.Moreover, we found that the current structure of the course may inadvertently lead to a lack ofchallenge for high-performing students. By expanding the scope of course components to includemore diverse and challenging tasks and assessments, we are hoping to make sure that allstudents, regardless of their level of mastery, are sufficiently engaged and challenged throughoutthe course.Limitations and future workThe Calculus I course in this study was taught by three different instructors.

types of workspaces available may vary between cohorts.Differences in workspace layouts can affect their suitability for group work and collaborativeprojects. An enjoyable place to work with others may encourage students to spend more timeworking together on a project compared to students with less enjoyable workspaces that simplywant to ‘get it done’ so they can go elsewhere. It is important for instructors to be aware of howthis could influence student interaction and collaboration. In courses featuring laboratorycomponents, discrepancies in equipment availability and functionality can lead to differentlearning outcomes and/or inequitable hands-on experiences. Equity across cohorts should be keptin mind when designing laboratory activities
