MMAE 546 typical has an enrollment of around 20 to 25students, while MMAE 201 has an enrollment of nearly 50 students.During the first semester of his teaching at University A, the author does
Active Learning in Dynamics: Hands-on Shake Table Testing Amanda Bao*, Ph.D., PE Associate Professor, Civil Engineering Technology, Rochester Institute of Technology*: Corresponding Author, 78 Lomb Memorial Drive, ENT-3154, Rochester, NY 14623, USAPhone: 585-475-4956, Fax: 585-475-7964, Email: axbite@rit.eduAbstract:Dynamics is one of the core courses in Civil Engineering Technology. The principles ofdynamics apply to civil engineering practices in the areas of roadway design, bridge design,building design and seismic retrofit and rehabilitation. Students should have a functionalunderstanding of the course materials rather than substitute numbers into the given equations.Active learning

' professional development it is only 33% of them who work within theirspecialization. And yet, labor productivity in Russia as a whole is 10 times lower than in the leadingcountries, and its share in the world trade is slightly more than 1% [1]. The Russian industry doesn'tuse the advances in science, technological developments and achievements in modern technologyefficiently. The manufacturers are actively pushed out of the market of high technologies and high-tech products.In 2012 these circumstances have prompted the President of Russia to release the President'sprogram (hereinafter - the Program) of training for engineering staff for 2012-2014.

In order to offer students moreopportunities to use new technologies in the digital labs or at home, the author designed twolow cost CPLD boards during the summer of 2004. The author taught computer engineeringand electrical engineering students the art of the logic design using the FPLD technology atthe California State University, Sacramento (CSUS). This paper describes the issues relatedto the integration of the CPLD boards with the Introduction to Digital Logic Design course.IntroductionIntroduction to Logic Design is a common engineering course that is offered at manyuniversities.

Novel Module Improves Learning of Capillary Filtration Heather E. Gunter1, Sarah E. Henrickson1, Joseph V. Bonventre1 1 Harvard – MIT Division of Health Sciences & TechnologyAbstractThe concepts underlying capillary filtration are fundamental topics in physiology courses taughtto undergraduate and graduate biomedical engineering students. Students have reportedanecdotally that this material is difficult to master. Furthermore, overall student examperformance does not correlate with performance on specific questions regarding capillaryfiltration. Based on this backgound, a module that presents capillary filtration in the context ofglomerular filtration has been developed

3257 EVOLUTION OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM John E. Shea, Thomas M. West Oregon State UniversityIntroduction At the beginning of this decade, the structure of engineering curricula at most colleges anduniversities had existed since the early 1950’s, and reflected an emphasis on a solid foundation inmath, science, and engineering science as expressed in the Grinter Report of 19551. Therequirements for accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) reinforced this traditional structure of the

Double-sided Silicon Wafer Surface Protection Method for PhotolithographyProcess.Rebecca Horak, Olabode Ajayi, Puteri Megat-Hamari, Bhushan DharmadhikarAbstract:The photolithography process of a double-sided polished (DSP) wafer has always been achallenging task. This work is to investigate an efficient method of DSP surface preparation toprotect it from damage during the photoresist spinning, soft and hard bake, and etchingprocesses. Specifically, during the photoresist spinning, suction from the chuck of the photoresistspinner which holds the DSP in position often damages the reverse side of the polished surface.If the surface and pattern feature on the reverse side is not preserved correctly, it always leads tograssing and other
