The Computer Science content of the program was enhanced andredesigned after Fall 2006 to meet ABET CAC Criteria.The CSET program is a mid-station between Computer Science and Computer EngineeringTechnology. The program is geared primarily to students that enjoy hands-on or Project-BasedLearning (PBL).

Thisshows students that math is applicable in different careers, including the music industry. Byallowing students to approach math in this way, self-efficacy for students who feel less confidentin their mathematical capabilities can increase [2]. The OK Go Sandbox educator and student guides that pair with “The One Moment”music video explore the topics of spreadsheets, analytical and theoretical data, frame rate, andslow motion.

Nearly all industries and companiesof any size have adopted PDM to decrease the cost of design. However, educational institutionshave not widely implemented PDM into the education of our students.The PDM system we chose to implement is specifically designed for CAD, and thus hasfeedback systems that the students will encounter in the workforce. This feedback allows forefficient drawing markup and direct review and commenting on 3D data. Traditional virtuallearning environments and course management systems are not designed for CAD feedback.

For example, many new faculty members are straight out of graduate schoolwithout experience developing research directions or preparing classes. According to work byBoice, new faculty generally take 4-5 years to build necessary experience before starting to meetthe standards set by their institutions.1 Such lengthy adjustment periods have a negative impacton faculty performance and thus on the probability of tenure.
