The faculty at DeVry University is developing new hands onapplication-oriented laboratory exercises which can actively engage students. These laboratoryexercises will also be helpful to students who will take capstone senior project coursework.The use of carefully crafted laboratory exercises is very important in exposing engineeringtechnology students to microprocessor projects.

In the early years the Department providedinstruction about specific weapons and their underlying principles. As weapons grew incomplexity they evolved into weapon systems. While early weapon systems wereprimarily electro-mechanical in nature, more recent weapon systems frequently alsoinclude aspects of computers, control, communication, and robotics. Several years ago retired Air Force Brigadier General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeageraddressed the Naval Academy midshipmen. Among other things, he told them to “Knowyour systems.” It was his clear message that as the American armed services becomeincreasingly

Most of our students thinkethics is common sense and does not need to be taught. Furthermore, the topic is not easy tomake interesting. However, principles of good teaching can be applied to any topic, includingthis one. This paper explores two ways to teach professional ethics; one way is

do we teach engineering students about materials? Materials science is a discipline, like any other branch of science. There are powerfularguments for the approaches to teaching of any one of these: the scientific method, therigour, the ability to apply logical thought and reasoned experimentation to physical problemsin the broadest sense. And the subject of materials is a broad one, drawing togetherunderstanding from physics, from chemistry, from mathematics and – these days – fromcomputer science 1-11. But while the study of materials bridges these “pure” disciplines, it is,in the end, an applied science. Engineering schools include and value its teaching becauseengineers make things, and they make them out of materials. The

These skills should be taught to the BME students during their design courses.Introducing the design process with prototypes gives students a better visualization of a finalproduct in three dimensions.

Students worked in two and four-personteams, and made presentations on their experiences.The academy was evaluated using formal assessment instruments and faculty observations. Eachof the individual activities attained an overall rating of at least 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, with mostactivities rated at 4.5 or greater.

Thetraditional leadership path using apprenticeships, mentoring, and gradually increasingresponsibility in running progressively larger teams, is heavily dependent upon opportunity. Theperfect alignment of these opportunities to lead, and availability of talented engineers who areready to lead rarely occurs in today’s lean corporate environment. Hence in many cases, highpotential employees are put in positions to lead, beyond what their level of genuine experiencehas prepared them for.
