In essence, the common Page 14.308.10two years would necessarily increase the math/science requirements for ET majors, and increasethe lab exposure and applications requirements for E majors. The following modifications aredeemed to be new for ET and E programs:1. New for ET programs: a. Include one math course per semester, starting with Calculus I; College Algebra and pre-Calculus become necessary pre-requisites. b. Physics and circuit analysis courses need to be calculus

The academic year units consisted of: a) DesertTortoise - study and simulate desert tortoise behaviors using LEGO Mindstorms NXT roboticsby building a toy that behaves like a desert tortoise; b) Circuits/Chain Reaction - study ideas oflocal actions and global reactions by building chain-reactions using Pico Crickets, found objects,and electrical circuit components; and c) Urban Heat Island - study the heat island phenomenonand build models to mitigate heat. Students were also afforded the opportunity to engage infieldtrips, parent nights, and internships related to program

As shown in Figure 2 (a), the average similarities of the first, second and thirdassignments are 38%, 30%, and 24%, respectively. As students did their writing assignmentsmore and more, the similarities were decreased clearly.

broad availability of visuallyengaging and fast-paced games, contemporary students can find traditional classroom methods oflecture and guided laboratory experiments limiting. This paper presents a novel methodologythat incorporates driving simulation, motion simulation, and educational practices into anengaging, gaming-inspired simulation framework for a vehicle dynamics curriculum. Theresearch places students into a gaming scenario where learning occurs during game play, ratherthan using a formally structured learning approach to vehicle dynamics. The application of themethodology is demonstrated in the context of an advanced vehicle dynamics course. This paperreports on work done under National Science Foundation grant DUE-0633596 in the

Conference 184There are many other labs that would be appropriate for a Type-1 survey course. We chose thoseprojects in Table 1 with the following goals in mind: a) For items used in dissection, it is important to choose devices that will allow students to do functional decomposition. By taking the device apart the students can see the role of each sub-part and how it interacts with the other components. Functional Analysis helps students to transfer their understanding to other devices that utilize similar elements or core technologies. b) Labs should be done individually. Each student
motors for mobility.II. DESIGN METHODLOGYIn order to complete this lab, several things had to be done first to sync the PCB with thecomputer and execute the desired program. 1. First attach the PCB to the power supply a. Assure that the hot and ground wires are attached correctly, with one other member verifying a proper connection to avoid destroying the PCB. b. Turn on the power supply and set slightly above 9V. c. Check for power LCD on PCB if present, good. If no power LCD turn off immediately. 2. The next step is to open an AVR Studio 4 project. a. Select and open AVR Studio. b. Once opened click the “New Project” button to open a new project. i. Next select the “AVR GCC” and name

They reviewed thepresentations and materials to establish whether the students had demonstrated some or all of themechanical engineering program outcomes and the level to which those outcomes wereachieved. These program outcomes are: a. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. b. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. c. An ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic environmental, social, political, ethical health and safety, manufacturability , and sustainability

For the one search in which numerical designations for particular criteria wererequested in addition to an overall assessment value, the trend held true (to varying degrees) forall 6 candidates (of which 2 were from underrepresented groups and 4 were not). The academicequivalent of this is after assigning points for specific criteria on a paper, awarding one studentan A and the other a B in conflict with the actual scores. This pattern leads one to wonder, bywhat criteria are evaluators adding value to majority candidates and subtracting value fromminority candidates?Premature Ranking/Digging In: “All too often, evaluators rush to give numerical preferences tothe candidates or applicants they

Monetary income alone cannot be used as a reliable indicator of substantial freedom.An increase in income might be converted into an increase in substantial freedom, but theconversion is not automatic or equally easy for everybody. A sick person is normally lessable than a healthy one to convert a given increase in income into a wider range of realopportunities, i.e., into greater substantial freedom. The same might be said of a personwho lives in a dangerous neighborhood that makes him/her fearful to go outside ascompared to a person who lives in a safer neighborhood."14 B.
