functional analog and digital circuits. As is integrated into the learningoutcomes, students in this course are expected to analyze circuit problems that are different fromwhat they have seen in the class and use what they have learned in the course to designfunctional circuits that satisfy the specified criteria. As an example, after learning about the PNjunction diodes and the structure of half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, they were asked to designa DC power supply that would provide a certain average dc output voltage with a ripple voltageless than the given maximum value.Solving the design problems required students to develop a strong understanding of the materialand achieve a mastery level in mapping the design criteria to the circuit

She described how she derived personal and professional meaningfrom her research: “I think it's a[n] interesting blend of, what you said, personal and research stuff…. I like to do outreach activities…. It's fulfilling and it makes me excited about, okay, I'm here to do research, and I'm going to encourage the next wave of people to do the same.” - AngelAs a result of this integration, Angel reported strong, permanent identification as an engineer, inspite of multiple sources of social pressure to do otherwise: “I do see myself as an engineer….

It is veryimportant that this date be valid and consistent as organizations and businesses’ life depends onthis data. To ensure the integrity and consistency of data in a database, the database designers needto consider many rules called business rules or constraints. This is done mainly by action assertionstraditionally implemented in procedural logic buried deeply within user’s application program ina form that is virtually unrecognizable, unmanageable, and inconsistent. This approach places aheavy burden on the programmer, who must know all the constraints that an action may violateand must include checks for each of these constraints. An omission

Failure AnalysisThe research being conducted under the NSF’s Course, Curriculum and Laboratory ImprovementProgram (CCLI) consists of pre-instruction and post-instruction assessment of student capabilitywith support topics and skills (integration, differentiation, dot product, equilibrium conditions,etc.) across the curriculum. Student responses to these assessment questions are analyzed todetermine the approach which each student took in addressing the problem and to identifyaspects of their thinking process: this is especially important in those problems where thestudents answered the assessment questions incorrectly. The different methods by whichstudents approach these problems are then be categorized and a catalog of the most common“modes of

Tobias found similar results from students who claimed that therewas no sense of community in the classroom and that students were not interested in formingstudy groups due to competitive grading schemes [13]. Astin proposes that students who havecontrasting values and beliefs than the peers in their major are likely to leave that peer group infavor of one that has similar values and beliefs [4].

In our mechanical engineering curriculum, bits of basic concepts of GD&T arebriefly mentioned or discussed in several different courses. It has been observed in the lastseveral years that some students in their senior capstone project designs still didn’t know how toproperly define assembly dimension tolerances or component dimension tolerances.

The Sketchtivity app proved to be very fun and beneficial to an engineering curriculum.”  I thought the lessons would be boring because we were taught how to draw and stay inside a picture in elementary school, but the program used a red shade to criticize each drawing and gave you a score.

A central focus is placed on sketching and the influencethat technological education has in the development of pupils’ ability to sketch.
