Electronic Portfolio system, enables students toeasily create, manage, and share web-accessed electronic portfolios that document theirknowledge, skills, and achievements from coursework and from extracurricular activities.Campus discussions of electronic portfolios began in 2002 as part of a special study of VirginiaTech's Core Curriculum. Out of these discussions emerged a recommendation to use electronicportfolios to support student reflection and the thoughtful accumulation of academic work overtime. For this purpose, planning began in the summer of 2003 and a pilot project was launchedduring the fall semester. Educational Technologies and the Center for Excellence inUndergraduate Teaching (CEUT) facilitated the pilot project and recruited a

The CEE curricula are summarized in the Un-dergraduate Catalog as programs that “emphasize practical applications of engineering withsufficient theory so that an individual can grow with the future as new materials, methods, anddesigns develop.” The vast majority of graduates enter professional practice. Students whopursue graduate school directly upon graduation are recruited by a number of schools andhave been very successful. The department faculty is a relatively young, dedicated, and col-legial group that is regarded as exemplary throughout the university in terms of teaching ef-fectiveness and in professional development.The existing curriculum at UWP is typical of conventional CEE

The advantage of using this kind of devices is that ifdesign changes are needed then the FPGA can be easily reprogrammed for the new design in amatter of seconds. Using traditional methods, the time to implement a project is limited becauseof the size of the circuit that can be wired in the time allotted for the lab session. The number ofinputs is a factor in these designs since as the number of inputs increases the size of the circuitincreases exponentially. For the description of the architecture of their projects, students use aHardware Description Language (HDL). The use

This system will basically transfer heat from theground and discharges it into the greenhouse in the cold weather. It is 50% more efficient than astandard gas fired heater. The yearly electricity requirement for geothermal system will be offsetwith the electricity provided by a 7.5 KW solar voltaic system installed on the south facing roofof the adjacent laboratory building.Monthly heat loss charts have been

Internships and co-operative agreements are two of the more commoninteractions that provide students a preliminary look at the world they will be working in aftergraduation. However, these avenues do little to provide young, energetic and capable men andwomen the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship, especiallyin small start-up environments. To address this issue, several institutions have begun offeringcoursework designed to introduce students to entrepreneurial concepts.1,2 However, whilecoursework is a good start, to effectively teach entrepreneurship to students the private sectormust

reflect on their learnings with the aim of improving theirprogramming skills and the quality of their programs.Introductory programming courses have historically high attrition rates because often studentsare not sufficiently and dynamically engaged with programming tasks. In fact, failure rates of 30to 50% have been reported in literature [1]. Beginners frequently feel frustrated and disenchantedwith the subject since the challenges of learning programming appear to be too overwhelming toovercome. While laboratory components of these courses help students with getting feedbackand encouragement in the face of programming challenges, practice and motivation beyond thelab environment remain uncertain. Therefore, it is necessary to explore
