The primary reason for this transition from traditional courses to flexible format coursesis due to the increasing number of non-traditional students. Intensive, short duration courses

The evaluation of student work during the work term showed that students were able todemonstrate several graduate attributes, and frequently demonstrated them at a level higher thantheir academic level. Similarly, from the survey which was sent out to all past coops of the IdeasClinic, the students themselves are also perceiving improvements in their ability and/or self-efficacy to conduct engineering work after working with the Ideas Clinic. Students were able toapply their learnings from the work term to both the academic setting and to future work inindustry, and generally seemed to enjoy their time with the Ideas Clinic.Thinking about this program

IntroductionSo how do you like to learn a new concept? Read a textbook and/or journal article on thesubject? Maybe throw in some type of experiment with technology to simulate the theory? Felderpoints out that in most areas we as faculty learn differently than how students learn best.1 Ourmission is to assist students with varying learning styles to learn new concepts. So how dostudents like to learn? How do they learn best? Considering the 1990 Seymour and Hewitt2 studythat shows 40 percent of engineering undergrads switch from science, mathematics, andengineering disciplines due primarily to poor

Their designs consideredsustainability factors; however, they were not fully justified with mathematical models and data.Each student collaborated effectively with their other team members, but their technicalcommunication was inconsistent and incomplete between their presentations and reports.Observations of Student LearningOverall, the expected student learning outcomes were observed to be achieved. Most studentteams applied the engineering design process to produce sustainably minded solutions andsupported their designs with mathematical models of the heat

The statedgoal of the curricula proposed by the guide was to produce competent technicians that couldwork with engineers and scientists: doing research and development work or serving as customer(field) service, operations (manufacturing), and communications technicians. As already stated,although forty years has past and incredible technological change has occurred in the field, littlechange has occurred in the typical curriculum leading to a degree in the electronics area.
