This complexity wasreflected in the challenges of teaching content from all of these disciplines in a weeklongsummer workshop designed for middle school science teachers. Participants in CASA includefour core academic institutions along with dozens of educational and industry partners. Ninepeople from the four core universities taught the course, which presented another set ofchallenges. Pre/Post tests and course evaluations indicated that despite the breadth of the course,the participating teachers were able to understand the content and had many ideas how to use

Universities, researchinstitutes, laboratories, scientists, faculty members and students have the most relevant place inthe Timoshenko’s autobiography As I Remember. In his narration, the Bolshevik Revolution,World War I, and the rise of Nazis in Germany are the context through which engineering andthe sciences go forward into a new technological era. Timoshenko also devotes many episodes toexplain his teaching and learning experiences and his vision about comparisons amongengineering curricula in different countries. He taught in Russia, Yugoslavia, and in theAmerican East, Midwest, and West
the course can help students to understand and gain further insightinto the theoretical lectures. According to the study [4], data communications and networkingcourses are divided into three categories: (1) The fundamental and general topics of computernetworks using some practical examples, (2) Internet protocols, and (3) A set of programming andproject assignments. The traditional approach to teaching data communications consists of lecturescovering theoretical information and mathematical basis, and of laboratory sessions where studentscan understand better the communication process and how to program a communications protocol.It is very crucial to keep up in classrooms with today's industry requirements for graduates in termsof both

These experiences will better prepare students for the continuedproliferation of sensing, actuation and control technologies resulting in what are often referred toas intelligent mechanical systems. The primary elements of this curriculum development activityare supporting faculty development and interest, developing infrastructure and facilities, andcollaborating with industry in order to integrate elements of intelligent, embedded computingsystems across the curriculum. This involves striking a balance between fundamental concepts,algorithm development, hardware, and applications; and this is accomplished by threading theseconcepts throughout the curriculum.

Traditionally, educators are using dedicatedsoftware packages to demonstrate the practical theory applications. These are efficient andsuitable to solve a large variety of engineering problems. The students learn programminglanguage and its capabilities to use them for homeworks or projects. There are such computer-based tools available for teaching electrical machines, power system analysis, power electronicsor other engineering topics. However, they are specific and confined to dedicated objectives,often lacking the interactivity, and become obsolete once the operating environment is changed5-8 . When dedicated programs are

feedback is provided on student performance. Based on design errors commonlymade by student teams in open-ended design projects, the four outcomes of the pre-capstonecourse are to: 1) Give students training, experience, and feedback from working on teams. This is mandated by ABET and most capstone programs use team-based design projects 1 2) Give student specific design and fabrication skills. In other words the course attempts to make each student an expert in a needed skill. There are several reasons for choosing this outcome that will be explained later. 3) Explicitly teach time and resource management. These are taught separately using two techniques explained in the next section. 4) Teach a “block diagram” approach to
, a representative group in terms of research focus, gender, and tenure level,indicating that 80% of faculty are open to the use of service learning. However, 52% expressedconcerns about time constraints and 56% needed support finding suitable projects for technicalclasses. If this type of support, including methods to mitigate time constraints, were available,faculty were interested in the practice. Surveyed faculty considered service learning mostappropriate for design classes, but were open to the practice in other classes if suitable projectswere available.IntroductionService learning is a teaching method that integrates academically-appropriate communityservice projects into the curriculum of a class.
