Atthe end of the semester, students write reflective essays on civil engineering and why they maywant to become civil engineers. In these essays, 50% of the 8 women and 21% of the 84 menstated an interest in serving society. One female student wrote: “I was surprised and interested toread [about] the international and service aspects.... I would like to find out more about this formof ‘emergency civil engineering’.” Another female student commented: “I like that I would bedoing something that makes a difference in the community.”The three-credit First-Year Engineering Projects course (GEEN 1400) has had a few sectionsfocused on “Appropriate Technology” over

A cursory review of the eleven required capabilitiesof graduates listed in Criterion 3 of these criteria1 reveals that design is an important componentof engineering degree programs. Students must be able to perform design and many relatedaspects of open-ended team-based problem solving, and educators must assess and documentstudents’ achievement2. Once student achievement of design has been assessed, this informationis useful for feedback to both students and faculty to improve student learning of design. Overtime

DSP is now pervasive as it is used in everything from disk drives andcell phones to automobiles and stereo equipment. The sale of special DSP microprocessorsexceeds the sale of general-purpose microprocessors by almost 10:1. However, until recently DSPwas only taught in the graduate curricula of most universities and many practicing engineers havenever been exposed to DSP. Many of these engineers now find themselves working on productsthat use DSP microprocessors. Outside of the campus environment, the DSP semiconductor
