University. This projectwill generate a synergy between research and education that will stimulate learning andassure that research findings and methods are quickly and effectively communicated to alarger audience. Creating the synergy between research and education will respond toindustry needs, contribute to the development of the Mechanical Engineering Programthat started at Central Michigan University in Fall 2004, and provide engineers to themid-Michigan area and thereby contributing to the growth of the economy of Michigan. Introduction As composite structures and machines are pushed to higher levels of precision andperformance, and as the control of noise and vibration becomes more of a societalconcern

EDC K-12 CommitteeUpdate on CB/ASEE CommitteeWork on an “AP in Engineering” Darryll Pines, Chair University of Maryland The National Problem• In 2007, a Carnegie Foundation commission of distinguished researchers and public and private leaders concluded that "the nation’s capacity to innovate for economic growth and the ability of American workers to thrive in the modern workforce depend on a broad foundation of math and science learning, as do our hopes for preserving a vibrant democracy and the promise of social mobility that lie at the heart of the American dream"1. However, the U.S. system of science and mathematics education is performing far below par and, if left
its growth, reap its benefits, and minimize its hazards, regardless ofone’s career interests. A basic understanding of science and technology is crucial not only for applying thefi-uits of technology effectively, but also for making decisions on related issues that impact human existence inthe present and in the future. Traditionally, engineering schools have been the source of new graduates competent in the newtechnologies who can meet the needs of the industry and society. However, educators are often faced with morethan the mere challenge of conveying technical information to their students. Students, on the other hand, findthe information conveyed uninteresting, unrnotivating, and fail to recognize its value and career

108 STIMULATING STUDY OF COMPUTER SECURITY Anatoliy Gordonov anatoliy.gordonov@csi.cuny.edu College of Staten Island 2800 Victory Blvd., SI, NY 10314 Abstract: Security is a complex problem. It includes many aspects, such as physical security, network security, operating systems security, database security, WEB and Internet security, software (SW) development security, users’ security, and more. The success of any security policy heavily
can have a positive influence on theirdecision to pursue studies in STEM. In the absence of quality STEM curriculum in schools,particularly in urban areas with high proportions of minorities, summer enrichment programs canbe instrumental in informing young girls about careers in STEM, particularly engineering, andhelp ensure they receive the academic preparation required to enter STEM-related collegeprograms. The current study examines evaluation data collected from girls who attended suchprograms for multiple summers during the time period from 2006 to 2009, graduating from highschool in 2014 and 2015 and provides follow-up date related to college attendance.IntroductionThe demand for more professionals in the science, technology

Session 2154 Multimedia The Use of Inquiry-Based Multi-Media Curriculum: It’s Impact on Students’ Perceptions of Learning Dianna L. Newman, Suneresh Heragu, Sybilyn Jennings University at Albany SUNY/Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute/Russell Sage Colleg eThe use of technology is growing and simultaneously changing the learning process, thestructure of knowledge, and the nature of instruction. 1 In a 1995 survey of college campuses,Green and Gilbert 2 noted that major gains have been made in the use of informational technologyas an instructional resource and Duffy ad Jonassen 3 indicate that new forms of
processing (DSP) course, ECE 455.This has come about in response to industrial demands for students with more real-time, real-world experience, not just theory and computer simulations. In the laboratory, students workdirectly with audio signal sources, TI DSP based evaluation modules and development tools, andwrite software for real-time operations. This approach helps the students to better understand theapplication of the DSP concepts learned. Working with real-time signal processing at theundergraduate level has proven to be a challenge for both students and instructors. This paperdiscusses the real-time DSP laboratory and enumerates the opportunities and challengesassociated with teaching real-time, hands-on signal processing to undergraduate
