The 61 courses come from a total of 27 different schools, all ofwhich are from the U.S. except for one from Hong Kong and one from Australia. Most schoolsin our study offer network course(s) in more than one department and some offer courses at boththe undergraduate and graduate levels.There are 16 different department names in the 61 courses studied, including “ElectricalEngineering”, “Computer Science”, “Computer

? Students quickly learn that it is a lot easier to move a wire or change a component when they are in a virtual design space. One of the great advantages and features of MultiSim is its ability to allow the user to capture its graphics. A major strength of a professional report is the visual presented to the reader. It is true that “one picture is worth a thousand equations.”1 Just take a look at a bridge or large building the next time you pass one. Each of these represents literally thousands of complex equations of which you are viewing the results. Among MultiSim’s capture capabilities is its ability to capture a schematic under design, in addition to capturing a whole host of responses such as

Although the same material was covered by both instructors, onesection focused on solid modeling strategies during the first part of the course, followed by moretraditional topics of visualization skills, orthographic drawings and dimensioning, then assemblymodeling and assembly drawings (S-D). The second section covered visualization skills, multi-view drawings and dimensioning at the beginning of the course, followed by solid modelingmethods, then assemblies (D-S). Both sections used the same texts10,11 and completed the samelaboratory assignments.Students were asked to take the Sorby test9

D 50 was estimated at 0.041 mm (0.0016in.). Therefore, the design velocity for slurry transport was based on these grain sizes. Durand–Condolios’ limiting deposit velocity equation was used to determine a transition velocity thatseparates the suspended heterogeneous sediments from the moving bed regime. To avoidblockage, the pipeline velocity must be greater than the limiting deposit velocity. The equationis ær ö VLD = FL 2 gD çç S - 1÷÷ Where è rW ø VLD – limiting deposit velocity

Their information included interviews with students, classroom observations, andinterviews with faculty. “We employed the ethnographic research technique of analyzingthe interview transcripts and classroom observations inductively rather than looking forevidence to prove or disprove hypotheses.2 This means that we built our interpretation ofthe students’ experience from the bottom up rather than the top down, a form of analysiscalled grounded theory.25 Points that repeatedly emerged from the students’ interviewsand our classroom observations become our central findings.” (We included Courter etal.’s references in this quote

IntroductionThe undergraduate engineering education environment is very different from the environment thatthe senior author has experienced. The personal computer has now become ubiquitous and morepowerful than the mainframe computers of the late 70’s and early 80’s while the educationalutilization of the computer has been transformed from writing specific programs in FORTRANfor carrying out calculations for individual problems to mastering specialized applications forsimulations or for data acquisition/processing. With the proliferation of special purposeapplications, undergraduate electrical engineering courses have been enriched with computersimulations with many textbooks

Form a faculty committee to review the two-semester sophomore level class PO 3, 4 sequence to address the following specific issues: S • Create room for a significant design experience (i.e. a separate design class). • Formalized instruction on problem solving strategies. • Incorporate more open-ended and real-world problems. • FPE/ABE co-existence. 2. All ABE courses should be encouraged to incorporate more problem solving PO 3, 4 strategies, open-ended problems, and real-world problems. ABE classes need to update their

It is ordered andlinear as we presented the course, but for that person, it was the key to understanding that thesubject was not that complex, and that there was a reason we covered all that “stuff”. Theoriginal was written quickly and was less neat: in fact, it was also less linear.
