exceptionally qualifiedkeepers.Based on the description above, it can be inferred that this basic idea of team selection based onfunctional position should be considered for possible adaptation in forming student engineeringteams. The various aspects involved in this approach are described in the following sections.Rationale for the Functional-based ApproachThe lack of functional roles as a criterion in team member selection for student teams is an issuethat needs to be addressed. A potential highly effective approach to team member selectioncould be developed based on the success and experience available in team member selection inteam sports. The key elements here are: A. Identification of the purposes/goals of the team B. The

These two main objectives were then expanded to create a more comprehensivelist for the student.Upon completion of the course a student: 1. Can recount the interconnected events and cultures in which a technology developed. 2. Can describe how technologies are inter-related. 3.

I divide the solutions into different categories and assign scores based on the category.Typically I have an A and a B pile, on rare occasions I have a student that does poorly on the laband will receive a C or D.Once the lab has finished I then introduce the concepts of intrusion detection systems and honeypots. I provide the students access to the intrusion detections I installed in 532corp so they canlook at attacks they carried out. The honey pots upset the most students.

Acentral outcome should be the formation of institutions which deliver the common good topeople, and which take responsibility when that does not happen.Critical questions arise: a) how is the common good represented in professional education, and realizedin subsequent practice? And b) can one identify a universal form of professionalism, i.e. one that canrest on a Public Theology or a Common Morality? There are growing calls for some compass to guidelarge, pluralistic social organizations; a metaphysical Referent for Public Virtue.

Since we begankeeping records in 1998 for this study there were from 35 to 45 students every term. Thestudents were roughly evenly divided between electrical, mechanical and computer engineeringmajors. The course is criteria-based and the grades are not curved. Student performance hasaveraged between a C+ and B- every year – the desired performance range. Student critiqueshave been very positive throughout this period.

One or more SIs are assigned to a particular course. SIrecruitment is selective, hiring students that have recently completed the same course with a B orbetter.
