Unfortunately, not all colleges have a graduate programthat provides these same opportunities. As a prime example, Wentworth Institute of Technologyis an undergraduate-centric college, without a day-time graduate program or on-campus graduatestudents. This likely puts the undergraduate students at a disadvantage, as they are not exposed toa graduate community; as well as decreasing the overall interest in graduate school, as studentseither don’t know it is an option, or don’t understand what they will be doing in graduate schooland why and when it matters for career success.A team of

develop courses that are relevant, challenging, rigorous, and pedagogically sound. This paper discusses the manner in which physics concepts are presented in theclassroom. Specifically, how we motivate the cadets, by bringing the military relevance ofphysics into the classroom and the laboratory. We place a heavy emphasis on the focusedpresentation of theoretical concepts coupled with innovative and interactive demonstrations andexercises centered around actual military hardware. A selective curriculum of physics topics,tailored to meet our program goals of educating future officers, has been developed andimplemented. This paper will highlight the techniques that provide a positive driving force tocadet learning and result in an Army

articulate the ABET criteria?The generic 5 step model shown in figure 1 is one way to view the design process. Itprovides us with some structure for thinking about teaching design: our teaching shouldinvolve a balance of all 5 steps, where the balance reflects engineering practice. Notethat homework assignments, lectures, and labs often involve mainly aspects of steps 2and 3. In fact, often in lab we verify a particular model – concentrating on step 2 almostexclusively. We miss an opportunity here because the other steps of design are mosteasily included in the less formal environment of the lab.LiteracyFigure 1. also shows 3 types of “literacy” often required to complete each design step. Ihave found the concept of literacy a useful one as I think
. Additionally, using a mobile platform allowed some students todebug their programs by watching the behavior of the robot.A flexible platform meant we could create a variety of problems and exercises.Additionally, this type of platform allows the students to design multiple solutions tosolve the same problem. An example of this is Lab 2 (described below). This platformcould also be used to model several important computer concepts such as Interrupts.All Computer Engineering students at Iowa State University have at least four coursesthat teach, or require knowledge of, C (Engineering 161- Engineering Problems withComputational Laboratory in C, Computer Engineering 211- Introduction toMicrocontrollers, CPR E 301- Microprocessor- Based Design, and CPR E
