The Iterative process model adapts well tochanges in requirements the end user is likely to request. The Iterative Development model ismore frequently used in the business world than the Waterfall model. An internship can provide astudent with experience and understanding of this model1,2.The creation of the Virtual Demonstration Garden website exposed us to the

, yet does not push the player towardany specific move. This allows the player keep an open mind while developing their strategies.Such development of strategic thinking would not only improve skill for the game of chess, butalso for other challenges. For an engineer, such development of strategic thinking would helpdevelopment of alternative designs to solve problems. An example from within this project is thesilicone based roll-up keyboard. This alternative design alleviates certain disadvantages of usingconventional keyboard structure for the switches, including size and stiffness that would hindermobility of the system. Engineering students who use the chess learning system may furtherdevelop their strategic and logical thinking abilities

Surveillancevideo analysis entails several interesting, multidisciplinary, real-world problems that can betackled in depth from the perspectives of these topics. Several educational benefits can resultfrom discussing these topics within the context of the accessible problems of video analysis. • Students can study algorithms and concepts with a specific type of data rather than having to imagine abstract data without a specific goal in mind. • Everyday familiarity with vision and video eases debugging, as students can self-check results with what makes sense visually and intuitively. • Artificial

This “habits of mind” could essentiallybenefit the problem solving skills of all people for reaching innovative solutions to variouschallenges.Engineering design process is mostly taught to engineering students during their senior yearcapstone design course after students have acquired relevant knowledge for the design. Thus,the phase of gathering knowledge is mostly carried out in a passive instructor-centered learningmodel. Most creativity education

dynamics and it was good.On the second day a creature came along called “Professor”. Professor saw that dynamics wasbeautiful and was the foundation of all engineering science. Professor wanted to share thebeauty of dynamics by shouting its praises from a mountaintop. Instead, being scared of heights,he wrote dynamics on a blackboard – unable to take his eyes off of what he was writing becauseof its beauty. And it was good. Thus ended the second day.On the third day Professor was disturbed by a noise coming from behind him. He turned aroundand, lo and behold, there were other creatures in the same room with him. He learned thesecreatures were called “students”. Many of the students had glazed eyes, some were asleep, andsome copied frantically
