For our Engineering students we work to instill anunderstanding of the CSF Strengths as natural talents. From this position of personal strength allstudents develop the required engineering skills, as defined through the lens of the ABET a-klearning outcomes. As each student possesses unique strengths, they will find a unique path tomastering the skills required for engineering practice.

Oregon State University(OSU) has been a pioneer in developing a “Platform for Learning2” using their TekBotsplatform3. The TekBots platform is an electronic robot vehicle that is built by every student inthe electrical engineering program at Oregon State University. The program sponsors state that“using a common platform throughout the curriculum helps to integrate the material fromseemingly disjointed courses4.” While the Oregon State University TekBots program provides amodel of a Platform for Learning, it is not necessarily a perfect platform for other Universities.The sponsors

In addition, it provides a tool for the students to programhardware specific driver codes and to test the system to meet design requirements. The designinvolves integration of an 8051-based microcontroller, a 12-bit serial A/D converter, an 8-bitD/A converter, an instrumentation operational amplifier, a keypad, and a liquid crystal display.Once the C-language

Often new means: new, somewhere on the continuum. The company inthis case - a very small business - wanted just an aluminium

One such tool that implements these strategies through a cyber-learning platformthat incorporates an array of learning engagement strategies (e.g., collaboration, socialnetworking, gamification), is SEP-CyLE.SEP-CyLE attempts to overcome these technical and retention issues in three main ways. First, itbreaks large concepts like software programming and testing concepts into smaller learningobjects providing a less overwhelming experience for students.

But it just as much speaks to the value of engagementbeyond the walls of the university. Without some external engagement in the curriculum,projects and problems remain reason-based and/or hypothetical. For example, an imagined end-user does not speak back; however, someone with direct experience of an engineered technologymay have something to say about where problems within a given device lie.

Practice-Oriented Approach to Teaching Undergraduate Data Mining CourseAbstract - Data mining is a fast-growing field of study in Computer Science andInformation Systems. Many schools have developed data mining course forundergraduate students. The course content has been well defined and streamlinedbecause of the availability of outstanding data mining textbooks. However, the focus ontheoretical contents of data mining makes it hard for undergraduate students to digest,and thus, compromises the overall learning outcome. To create an effective and dynamiclearning environment, we introduce a practice-oriented approach. This paper describeshow we integrate the hands-on component into the course work to enhance the

In addition, other factors have been driving the need for a major curriculum revision. Forinstance, the state legislature is now recommending that all four-year degree programs reducetheir total required credit hours to 120. While this is not realistic for an engineering technologyprogram, the total number of credit hours required for graduation is now a consideration forincoming students. To be more competitive within the University and the College ofEngineering, the faculty targeted a reduction from 132 to 128 hours. Recruiting of qualitystudents has also become an important concern
