course-based learning. Clearly, effective learning in engineering coursesdepends first on the learner, not the technology used to foster learning. The learner must • value the knowledge, • be capable, and Page 13.783.2 • have time and resources that permit them to learn.The mentor is second only to the learner in impacting learning effectiveness. The mentor’s rolehinges mostly on the first and last of the above three student needs. The effective mentor • helps the student strengthen their values; • improves learning efficiency to reduce time required for learning; • provides resources that include a course curriculum, reference
lifeline of global businesses. For example, while a manufacturingengineer graduate will indeed be involved with some form of production of goods, thegeneration of knowledge and the creative skills needed to generate new knowledgeallows for manufacturing to compete in a global marketplace.Many universities find creativity is best encouraged through team activities. Manyinstitutions have adopted multidisciplinary E-teams These teams, composed ofmultidisciplinary team members, are charged with rapidly developing new technologiesand products15. In addition, with these projects, team member will enhancecommunication skills as they make oral and written proposals and presentationsthroughout. Not only will engineers need to demonstrate creative abilities

and allowed deeper engagement with theconcepts taught. The new instructional practice was evaluated by a controlled impact study andstudent feedback. The evaluation study showed that the students who used property charts as theirprimary reference were significantly better at predicting water property trends when compared tostudents who relied on the steam tables accompanied by property chart sketches. When surveyed,students favored property charts and the supplementary videos for their ability to visually conveythe complex relationships. The results support existing research and make a strong case for revis-ing thermodynamics pedagogy within engineering. By embedding an intuitive and evidence-basedapproach to teach the engineering

RECOMMENDATIONSEngineering faculty should be provided with training in, at least, the availability of these types ofanalysis tools if not formal training in their application and use in engineering classrooms. Studentsshould be introduced to these tools early in their academic careers in order to achieve the higherlevels of learning required for engineering practice as defined in Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Industrialistsserved as guest speakers to introduce the students to a practical outlook on particulartopics. The students thus got an exposure to the real world of business and industrythrough case studies and pragmatic advice from industrialists. The improved coursecontent, with the direct influence from industry, induced an entrepreneurial focus infaculty and students.Research The courses that have been developed and taught have necessitated a new outlookon teaching engineering design and product development, particularly by including such"real-world" business aspects as customer-focused design, design for reliability
increase academic persistence and therefore graduation rates[3]. A three-year NSF funded program is supporting the development and delivery of animmersive five-day workshop at each institution. The workshop is offered the week before thefall semester for incoming transfer students in engineering. Howard University and NMSU areworking together to develop the workshops. However, each institution is structuring and shapingthe workshop in a manner that the instructors believe fit best with their respective institutions.The focus of this paper are the workshops offered at NMSU during the first two years, thequalitative effect it has made to date on the students who participated in it, and how NMSU plansto move forward.The first workshop at NMSU was

The initial development plan started summer2005, with the first experimental partial delivery of an undergraduate computer programmingcourse during fall 2005. The trial phase has continued by offering 1-2 courses per semester,including the summer session. We have also delivered a graduate level electrical engineeringcourse to a small group of students residing overseas. It should be mentioned that these courses,except for the graduate course, have been designed and delivered based on flexible deliverymodel but for one campus only.

The main mission of ESDN is to enable the concept of Campus as a Lab[10], a platform facilitating easy deployment and management of networked sensors, to facilitate datacollection and data analytics in support of research and education. ESDN was designed to accommodatefour specific use cases: 1. Users, scientists, and educators can deploy sensors that do not have wireless communications options. CIEI developed a small form factor communications shim which intermediates and processes communication
Organizational structure and Strategy of the ISU ADVANCE ProgramTo broaden our impact and learn from other experts, ISU ADVANCE hosted a nationalconference on increasing flexibility in faculty careers (in October, 2008). To broaden the reachof ISU ADVANCE within ISU, Equity Advisors from each of the three colleges spoke to non-focal department faculty in their college (usually at a departmental faculty meeting) to discussISU ADVANCE activities and efforts in other departments and colleges – focusing specificallyon how they can make use of the results of research in their own departments. To improve accessto these results, a number of electronic resources have been developed (in Web and sometimesCD-ROM format). Topics include best practices for faculty

Excellent examples of how projects using the concepts were implemented successfullyinclude NASA’s Traveling Trunks and the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska’s travelingmuseum efforts.
