We concentrated on how students reorganize knowledgeacross contexts (the classroom and the community) as a basis for understanding learning.Specifically, we examined how these students negotiated the elements of problem identificationincluding: moving from an abstract understanding of problem identification in the classroominto the situated understanding in the community, collaboration with a community partner, andmanaging goals between the classroom and the community.IntroductionThe history of engineering projects for community development is rife with stories of failures,wasted money, and communities that end up

Tim King modules were used as part of a three week design project at the endof the semester. Each two-member lab group was assigned one of the five modules. Thegroup was to design the controls for the module. At the conclusion of the project, five programs were placed in a common programto run the complete system. Each group was given the operational specifications and theinput/output diagram. There was a video of each section placed on the course web site.So the groups could observe the operation of their section and of the entire system. There were design problems that resulted in burning out several motors. Themotors in the system will not tolerate being stalled. Electronic current limiting will be

Prior to receiving instructions and parts for this year's competition, Scott organizedweekly meetings between the corporate engineers, high school, and university students. Duringthese meetings, team members were randomly divided into groups, with each given a relativelysimple problem to solve in a finite time.

Still, many academicians debate whether onlineeducation can effectively communicate the essence of the lecture withoutcompromising on quality. However, experts affiliated with traditionalprograms hesitate to denounce online education since it's the best optionfor some people and the Internet has proved useful in augmenting theresources available for use in traditional classrooms.In this age, it appears that students want more instruction, integration,team building, communication and quantitative skills, and real world casestudies, projects

Theproposed layout for this laboratory is shown in Fig. 1. Three components were identified fordesign and fabrication through senior design and student design projects: 1) automated loadbanks (ALB), 2) power processing station, (PPS) and 3) power workstation benches (PWB).The new student laboratory was designed around the PWB, which obtains access to power andload resources located in the utility room via a PC with a National Instruments Data AcquisitionCard and LabView control interface.
