requires formulation of actionitems to achieve the goal.Curriculum Change and Instructional MethodsUniversities all over the country have embarked on various plans for better teaching of calculus.These may be grouped into three categories: (1) introduction of innovative instructionalmethods/aids, (2) reordering and in general minor additions and deletions of topics to serve awider class of students, and (3) integration of mathematics, physics and chemistry with focus ona particular field such as engineering. Categories 2 and 3 deal with alteration of the syllabuswhereas category 1 focuses mainly on instructional methods.Barrow and Fulling4 and SimCalc (http://www.simcalc.umassd.edu/simcalc/curriculum)curriculum are two good examples for category 2
compared with a class project. 7. Students do not know how to start and carry out a literature search. 8. Students must often learn new skills (programming, analysis software, laboratory equipment) that are beyond the scope of their completed coursework, and they do not know what resources are available to them.The first problem is one that is only solved by reducing the number of BS/MS students orincreasing the number of faculty advisors. Both solutions are beyond the students’ control, sothey are beyond the scope of topics for a Graduate Seminar. Numbers 2-5 are systemic – wecannot change anything about these issues, and the students know they will pose challenges totheir dual degree completion, but we may be able to provide ideas

They need to attract significantamounts of research funding, they need to publish extensively and they need to help develop the K-12 pipeline into an engineering career. In addition, they need to insure that the curriculum is up-to-date and meets the needs of new and developing industries.Will the rewards still be there for our young faculty members? Can we maintain the tenure andpromotion bar at a level that is reasonable to attain or will we lose too many of our good teachers?We also must look at opportunities to use retired engineers from industry to teach some of ourcourses and laboratories. Their experience is valuable to our students, but we must treat theseinstructors with the respect they
Lehigh University/Focus: HOPEAbstract This paper describes three learning partnership models among U.S. corporations, government agencies,and Lehigh University’s Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory (CIM Lab). These models aredescribed in terms of need, resources and benefits. Two models describe the partnerships among the CIM Lab,the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Northeast Tier Ben Franklin Technology Center (NET/BFTC), andprivate industry. The third model describes a partnership among government, manufacturing industries, sixuniversities, and the Focus: HOPE Center for Advanced Technologies. The three virtual learning modelsdemonstrate the success in combining resources from academia, government, and industry. They exemplify

Students then summarized their professional interactions and findings in memo stylereports addressed to their respective instructors.The second assignment addressed the learning objective that students "demonstrate anunderstanding of laboratory techniques used in biomaterials and biomechanical engineering".This assignment asked groups of students at institute B to execute an experimental protocolrelated to materials tensile testing and then write up their findings in the style of an academicjournal article.

currently occurring at many small, primarily undergraduate teaching colleges.The inclusion of undergraduates in faculty research was a natural extension of faculty researchand a welcome addition to the list of available student projects. At the same time, many facultywere involved heavily within their community and knew of potential service-based projects thatwould equally challenge and educate the students. It quickly became obvious that many studentswould love the opportunity to put their skills to work and produce a product that met a real need.In the fall of 1999, it was decided to more fully develop the civil engineering independent studyprogram to ensure every senior CE major had the opportunity to participate in a open-endedproject, in
training modules, develop courses and laboratories and work towardbecoming certified in area/s of their teaching expertise.Partnerships and CollaboratorsSoutheast collaborated with TRCC and MAC to establish a career pathway that will allowstudents to seamlessly matriculate from a certificate and/or an AAS degree to the BS Technologydegree at Southeast. The transfer articulation established between Southeast and theseinstitutions was used for the same. Students completing programs at these institutions couldtransfer to Southeast using one of two models that we have available. Using the first model,students completing an AAS degree at a community college will directly matriculate to the BSdegree using the course-by-course transfer articulation model

This research optionculminated with the students participating in an undergraduate research symposium that showedother undergraduates the benefits of and the opportunities for research experiences. The main results of the experiment have been positive. First, the course has been able toattract students who are academically strong and capable of succeeding in graduate school. Forthe two years, the average GPA of the students has been 3.7. Second, the course has been able toattract a significant number of students from underrepresented groups. Over the two years of theexperiment, the course has had almost a 50 percent enrollment from
create a breadth-first introductory course to motivate and inspire the students to dig deeper into topics they will see later in the curriculum. Through early exposure to a broad set of knowledge and simulation/laboratory techniques, students can begin to develop intellectual curiosity and intuition about how electrical and computer systems work and, in the process, see the fun and excitement in electrical and computer engineering. This paper delves into the development of the course, from the determination of the goals through the implementation of the course structure and teaching philosophy. The paper concludes with an analysis of student feedback.1.0 IntroductionA lesser known corollary to Murphy’s Law for Engineers states

8 credithours of engineering science content from the Quarter system that existed in the mid-1980s. Tothis, substantial content was added, pressed both from the lower level courses and from theaeroelasticity and design requirements. Some specifics follow: 1. As the curriculum was compressed, the time available to teach the basics of fluids and aerodynamics shrank from 20 quarter-credit hours spread over 4 courses with built-in lab experiences (13.9 semester hours), down to 11 semester hours over 4 courses including 2 hours of laboratory instruction. One of those lab hours was for propulsion/combustion.2. Personal computers allowed use of numerical techniques in classes in the 1990s.3. In the 2000s, various applets and on-line

Having students study from the book on their own and completehomework and quizzes by correspondence was not an attractive option for this critical junior-level class. No other instructors were readily available to teach Dynamics on short notice for anunknown length of time without overloading their schedules. The portable video teleconferencesystem, while capable of broadcasting lecture, was limited in its ability
