The University ofChicago, for example, has had a Journal of Law and Economics since 1958.1 The Encyclopediaof Law and Economics, which is published in the Netherlands, has two Nobel Laureates inEconomics on its Editorial Board.2Because important relationships exist between law and economics, it is appropriate to inquire:What area(s) of the law (if any) are most relevant to a course in engineering economics?Environmental law might be a candidate, as it is relevant to environmental engineers, but it is toospecialized to be of general interest in a course on engineering

[The LCI] not only provides the learner with the means to articulate who s/he is as a learner, but then provides the strategies (metawareness) for the learner to use these learning tactics with intention [20].The LCI survey is composed of 28 Likert scale items—descriptive statements followedby a five-point set of responses—and three questions requesting written responses. The28 questions are scored according to the patterns they illustrate, and from these scores theLCI profile is generated.

As educators, we should jump for joy when we find students"playing" with a tool we have introduced to them, for it is that playtime that often leads to self-directed, experiential learning that goes beyond the course objectives and turns the students intoactive learners just for the sake of knowledge. And the more palatable the knowledge, thegreater success we can expect in the education of students in the future.AcknowledgementThe support provided by two NSF grants (i.e., award #s 0342000 & 0431779) is sincerelyacknowledged.

Initially, both of these courseswere wholly technical where the first course dealt with digital logic and the other with assembly 1language programming. In the early 1990’s the first course , ECE 101, was restructured toprovide a general introduction to electrical and computer engineering, including modules aimedat helping students make the transition from high school to college. Technical topics includeresistive circuits, RC circuits, the 555 timer, combinational logic, Karnaugh maps, sequentiallogic, DC motors and PWM control. These topics give the technical

However,when packages such as OATS [9] and our CD-ROM are produced, arrangements need tobe made to guide the learner(s), and to provide scaffolding, to provide for self-tests andto record and exhibit progress clearly so that the learner(s) can make wise choices of howmuch time and effort need to be spent to achieve their goals. In OATS we did this usingthe QUEST+(tm) authoring language as a scaffolding shell, but that

In this paper, we will discuss how and why engineering technology wasintroduced into this type of environment.The need of a new programDuring the early 1990’s, our faculty noticed that most graduates in physics, including some ofthe very best, were choosing to go to work immediately upon graduation, rather than continuingtheir education in graduate school. This was a significant departure from previous trends. Inresponse, the department adjusted the physics program and academic advisement so that studentsbound for industry upon graduation would have a strong foundation in both electronics and inoptics, two areas of application in which the department had strength in terms of facultyexpertise and

as students enter their junior and senior years. A drawback ofwritten assignments is the potential for plagiarism of outside materials by students. Plagiarism isproblematic from an academic perspective for two commonly-cited reasons: (1) the student(s)who plagiarize neither develop associated writing skills nor learn the intended lesson content1,and (2) students within a class where other students are plagiarizing without knowledge of theinstructor may receive comparatively poor grades even though they are learning and developingthe intended skills.Prior to word processing and the Internet, plagiarism required considerable effort: students mustfirst locate a book, article or old report, then write or type the outside text. However, in
