The JIT approach will improve the coordination and integration of existing modules, courses, andprograms. JIT education will utilize computers and multimedia material-preparation equipment presently availableto many educational institutions. JIT materials can be accessed via hard-copy by those educational institutions thatdo not have more sophisticated computers. Institutions may customize JIT to fit their local needs. JIT outcomeswill be models rather than specifications so educational institutions can prepare custom modules, courses, andprograms. The JIT approach is to ● improve teaching productivity via

history of learn-by-doing, the technology evolution in the lastdecade challenges instructor ability to deliver industry-relevant laboratory experience; this isespecially true in advanced (400-level and 500-level) hardware-based courses. In the era whereone square-inch of board space packs more technology than we cover in the entire EE curriculum(no exaggeration), technology outpaces the rate of instructors' professional development. This ismostly due to the confluence of different technical fields. As depicted in the prism analogy inFigure 1 such convergence is observed in many industry sectors creating new system-of-systemsparadigms. In practical terms, instructors may be able to teach 'point-of-confluence' courses andexplain how key concepts

My work focused on computational biomechanics. More specifically, developing musculoskeletal models of the body to simulate movement and see how surgery and soft tissue injury affects movement. During my graduate work, I was also a teaching assistant for Introduction to Biomechanics where I developed a love for teaching. I then did postdoctoral research at the University of Kentucky where I experimentally measured movements (e.g running form), which provides data that can be used to validate the models I build. Here at Gannon University, I will

At the same time, newindustries, which required higher skill sets, began locating in the greater Portland area.These included such companies as National Semiconductor, Fairchild Semiconductor,Pratt and Whitney, Idexx Laboratories and other.

The faculty, for one, mostly lackadvance degrees necessary to enable them to teach with the necessary academic authority. Theschools themselves sorely lack the instructional materials, laboratory equipment, libraryresources, computer facilities, and other such equipment and resources to deliver qualityeducation.
