examining what has changed in typical course content in the 27 years that I’ve beenteaching this course. At this level there are only two changes or trends. One trend is the additionof spreadsheets. A second trend is a degree of “dumbing or slimming down” the course and thetexts. The course topics included in most books have not changed over this interval. Chaptersget added, dropped, split, combined, and rearranged; but there is virtually no fundamentaldevelopment other than that linked to spreadsheets.This is neither a radical assertion, nor a new one. It is well documented 9 that this field has ahistory of examining its slow development. Texts and presumably courses have focused more onfinancial mathematics and removed material linked to design
by research and experience.As part of the assessment effort, SUCCEED fielded e-mail surveys in 1997 and 1999 to whichrespondents reported their use of such instructional practices as writing formal instructionalobjectives for undergraduate classes, conducting in-class learning activities, and assigning team-based homework in traditional lecture courses (in contrast with laboratory and design courses,where teams have traditionally been used). About a third of surveyed faculty members returnedthe survey in each administration (32% in 1997 and 36% in 1999).This paper compares the results of the two surveys with respect to the use of certain teachingpractices among faculty and shows the relationship between attending faculty

Thelong term modules are designed to be taught over the course of several weeks, and the short termmodules are designed to be taught in a couple of hours.The module topics range from building strong composite structures to tall towers. The way themodules are structured is that the engineering topic is introduced, students brainstorm ideas,students are broken up into groups and given materials. Engineering design concepts areintroduced and the high school students start building their project. All projects are tested andthe engineering designs are discussed with the students.A small group of

Not only is such a discrepancy ininvestment socially unjust, but it deprives the US of the advantages in innovation and globalcompetition that could stem from the widening participation of the

These lectures contain references from many authors/texts for researchingand understanding various techniques to analyze aircraft characteristics in the three areas.Students apply the various techniques in five assigned projects. Each project is documented in awritten technical report and the final project includes a presentation of the overall results. Anoutstanding motivational aspect of the current course is the ability to analyze the student data andcompare to published results of existing aircraft. This paper demonstrates how team learningand applied research techniques for analyzing the performance and stability of actual aircraft canassist and motivate

However, discussion of data has to go beyond traditional databases and include such important topics as design and implementation of data for exchange between applications and for presenting knowledge about particular business areas, as well as data models and technologies used for these purposes. Just adding these issues to curricula of the database programs makes it difficult to provide systematic coverage of data technologies. The paper suggests transforming database curricula into data curricula that will allow for developing a more consistent view of today’s data technologies and better teaching approaches, and will provide the possibility for easier upgrading of data programs in

Importance of Laboratory Examination in Introductory Engineering Courses Maria Javaid, Edith Wittenmyer Indiana State UniversityAbstractLaboratory experiments are an integral part of most of the undergraduate courses. Theexperiments in the laboratory are often performed by group of students and this component ofcourse is evaluated through lab report submissions of students for individual experiments.However, evaluation of individual student learning of practical skills through higher stakelaboratory examination is not a common practice.This paper presents the results of the evaluation of individual student performance on practicaltechnical skills taught
