Session 2358 Engineering Education in the 21st Century Ralph O. Buchal The University of Western OntarioAbstract Changing educational needs and reduced funding for traditional educational institutions are forcing a re-examination of the educational process. At the same time, emerging information technologies are enabling atransition from traditional instructor-centred teaching to a new model based on student-centred collaborativelearning. The importance of the physical university is diminishing as information
Session 3553 Freshman Engineering Leadership Team: Student Mentors for Recruitment and Retention Sandra L. Bishop, Mary Besterfield-Sacre University of Phtsburgh Peer mentoring is commonly used in universities for a variety of student sewices and instructional activities.However, use of mentors in independent instruction is relatively new in engineering education. The student-peerrelationship is unique and can capitalize on certain traits such as honesty, approachability, and
achieve a solid understanding of them are not. The personal computer is an ideal instrument that canbe used to deliver a training tool that would be very effective in developing their understanding ofmicrocomputer architecture and its relationship to assembly language programming. The intent of this projectwas to develop a “windows” based “point and click” learning tool that utilizes graphics, animation and text.Then integrate the tool into introductory microprocessor course where it would finction as a “personal”instructor for each student. Alternate approaches to integrating the learning aid into this course, and courses at other universities willbe explored. Factors to be evaluated include effectiveness in helping the student with

to integrating academic and professionalskills in European higher engineering programs in light of the relatively recent conversion tothe three cycle system. The study has been performed in a Mechanical Engineering programat KTH, in Stockholm, Sweden, where one of the main issues has been the addition of newlearning goals relating to scientific methods and research.The author presents three models for how research and scientific methods can be integratedwith engineering work in a thesis project context. We show that it is indeed possible toperform the integration synergistically, providing the various sets of requirements are clearlycommunicated particularly to any industrial representatives.Introduction: professional and academic

lightweight. If the interface evolves from a “Helloworld” message displayed on HyperTerminal to a full-blown data packet-passing system,chances are that the code is overly complex and difficult to keep running reliably. Techniquesborrowed from internet protocols can help send messages reliably between two devices less thanan inch apart with less effort than one might assume. Since most Electrical and ComputerEngineering students may not have been exposed to extensive computer science courses on datastructures or network protocols (usually elective courses), a few topics could be borrowed fromthese areas for a crash course before embedded systems are introduced. This paper presents thefoundation for a crash course that we have researched and developed
