Our consortium of schools has been aninvaluable connection for getting faculty and administrators from different schoolstogether to look at how the curriculum at each educational level builds to the next.Through intensive discussions we have been able to identify target courses for articulationand develop a process for implementing changes. In the areas where the educationalprograms fail to match up, we were able to provide resources for course refinement andprogram enhancement.Our industry partners also played a key role

In this format, VC++ creates a program/projectstructure which serves as a template for the programmer’s application. If the six step AppWizardstart up process is followed, accepting all defaults for creating an AppWizard project, twenty fivefiles of C++ code are created by the AppWizard alone. Without any added code, the resultingproject can be compiled and linked producing additional files including an executable file.

Three separate design projects, each utilizing a double design-protocycle, were completed during the semester. To fit the six design/fabricate/test cycles into the 15-week semester, quick fabrication techniques were set by the instructor. The first two designprojects spanned the first four weeks of the semester. During the first two projects supplementaldesign topics were presented in lecture and applied to the

For this studio, weworked on projects for which our culture’s habituated physical design responses are unsuited.This will call taken-for-granted assumptions into question.The design project acts as a vehicle to pull together a diverse number of philosophical issues,technical concerns, and basic theoretical knowledge. By using a number of modes of inquiry aswell as faculty from various disciplines, we can ask students to consider many thingssimultaneously and juggle many ways of investigation at the same time.The first studio had two main projects, as well as a series of continuing exercises in computing,drawing and technology.
