Additionally the goalwas to create a spirit of service where engineering and other students would learn by experiencethe culture of sharing their abilities and talents with others beyond the boundaries of theirindividual comfort zone. Major project deliverables were the following: design of a solar batterycharging unit; a marketing plan including press releases, website, project brochures, andspeaking engagements; testing and repair of donated laptops; educational software

Communication and teamwork are stressed. Many of these skills are needed for thesuccessful completion of the senior project. The nature of these projects requires the students tosystematically complete their long-term project goals, so good planning is essential. The coursesalso include guidance in resume writing and interviewing skills.One instructor is responsible for the overall course content and grading. Other faculty membersare asked to serve as advisors on the project. Advisors are selected based, as much as possible, “Proceedings of the 2006 Midwest Section

A Monsignor at anunderprivileged parish in Philadelphia, St. Martin of Tours, had requested some assistance in acareer day event at the parish school. The school in turn became the recipient of the firstengineering club. The principal of the school was excited about our interest, as was one of thesixth grade teachers. An engineering club announcement was sent out to the sixth grade. In onenight, the club was filled to capacity with twenty-five sixth grade students.This paper discusses the format and learning outcomes of the club, the curriculum, observationsand outcomes, lessons learned, and expansion plans, assessment needs, and conclusions.Format and learning outcomesThe

By doing so, the students gained the knowledge that they have the power to make changes in their own finances to help reduce their income taxes. Furthermore, this spreadsheet model empowers students with the ability to look beyond their current year’s tax filing requirements and encourages them to plan strategically for their future annual tax obligations.

A MiniCIM 3.2 Amatrol has been selected as the equipment to teach FMS. This equipment is used to modify the curriculum and nine courses and labs in the IET department to enhance the students’ learning. The FMS project serves also as a starting point to accomplish a six-year development plan of the Manufacturing Laboratory in the IET department. The goal is to complete a fully Computer Integrated Manufacturing system in six years. The strategy used is aligning students’ class projects and/or students’ senior projects with the goals of the Manufacturing Laboratory. These class projects

The course has core junior-level courses as prerequisites so that studentsenter with some substantive computer science fundamentals. We list below the formal courseobjectives. In the two courses, students will: 1. Learn key elements in the development of a significant year-long computer science project: planning, specification, design, analysis, and implementation. 2. Apply concepts from software engineering to the project: requirements, specification, reuse, documentation, verification and validation, testing, configuration management. 3.

This will involve increasing the capacity to accommodate more qualified students, together with an improvement in the quality of higher education by improving the number and quality of lecturers and offering a greater variety of courses. There are plans to provide universities with greater autonomy (p. 5).”In Afghanistan the way people can receive higher education falls into one of the following
