Additionally, the number of students attendingthis course increases constantly, such that currently more than 800 students visit our course, weare not able to provide individual feedback to every person. Thus, we aim to create an interactivesimulation framework (SysprogInteract), which can be easily integrated into the educationprocess and fulfill the student's expectations on a modern, digitized education.

The importance of ongoing partnerships with the local municipality, regulatory agencies, and watershed advocacy organizations is emphasized as key to sustaining multiple-year off-campus projects. Qualitative assessment suggests the project was highly motivational to many students; however, a drawback is that a given class of students

There was no correlationwith ENGR or STEM GPA. It is also interesting to note that compared to questions 1 and 2,relatively few students got question 3 correct, and of those only a couple had the correctreasoning. In both classes, the third question was an “extra stretch” question, students had tocalculate multiple extra things or integrate several concepts to get the correct answer.

Integration into thecollege environment plays an important role in students feeling a sense of belonging on campus,and ultimately in their decisions to persist. Racial and ethnic minority students who areintegrated into the college environment through various means can find supports such as friendswith similar backgrounds, advice from advanced students, and role models and advisors, whichcan positively influence academic performance.

electromagnetics. The module is taken as a part of longercourse on electrodynamics. Topics covered in this module include charge distributions,symmetries, Coulomb’s law, Gauss’ law, dipoles, multi-poles, conductors, computation ofpotentials with given boundaries conditions, dielectrics and polarization.The fundamental concern of electromagnetism is to solve Maxwell’s equations, and muchof the course on this subject is devoted to vector calculus. To calculate an electric fieldand/or a magnetic field, we can perform integration directly from Coulomb’s law andBiot-Savart Law, using the functions of the CAS mathematical library. For example withMaple, we can concentrate on physics, such as distinguishing the coordinates of thesource point and the field point

faculty and theIndustrial Advisory Board (IAB) on behalf of the then School of Engineering Technology andEngineering. The original curriculum did not require a student to declare a specialty area. Anine-semester-hour set of upper division engineering electives and an additional six semesterhours of technical electives were taken with the advice and consent of the School DegreesCommittee. With the urging of the IAB and strong support of the faculty and administration ofUT Martin, the specialty areas were added in 1999. Each area now consists of 24 hours of upperdivision coursework.A majority (65-70%) of the students choose the civil or mechanical specialty area as enteringfreshmen. An overwhelming majority has gravitated to these two specialties

Therefore,engineering education should, in addition to teaching traditional skills, also focus ontraining students in the ability to solve engineering problems innovatively.

Most textbooks and classroom teaching are intuitive, verbal, deductive,reflective and sequential, and thus they do not meet the needs of the second-tier students who aresensing, visual, inductive, active and global learners. Most researchers agree that an importantrole in current learning structures is played by “collaborative learning”, which allows students toexchange information as well as to produce ideas, simplify problems, and resolve tasks.Therefore, engineering educators have been reshaping the undergraduate engineering curricula torespond and adapt to the ever changing nature of engineering practice that is becoming moreglobal, interdisciplinary and influenced by other disciplines such as computer science,information technology

Mechanisms that provide such integrity check based on a secret key are usuallycalled “message authentication codes" (MAC). Typically, message authentication codes are usedbetween two parties that share a secret key in order to validate information transmitted betweenthese parties. A variation of the MAC mechanism based on cryptographic hash functions calledHMAC, is based on work by Krawczyk, et al 5.The algorithm devised by the student hashes information with the secret salt value and thenincludes the hash with the transfer.
