Session 3642 Evaluation and Outcomes Assessment During the Semester: Putting Course Learning Objectives to Work David S. Cottrell Pennsylvania State University at HarrisburgI. IntroductionIn recent years, much has been written about the requirement to perform outcomes andobjective assessments to evaluate the strengths of ABET accredited programs in allengineering disciplines including engineering management. In particular, the criteria foraccrediting engineering technology programs stipulates that programs must demonstrate thatgraduates have a commitment to quality
2002-2317 Engineering First: An Undergraduate Dilemma Shehu S. Farinwata, Ph.D., P.E., Senior Member, IEEE Department of Electrical Engineering The University of Texas at Tyler 3900 University Blvd, Tyler, TX 75799, USA1AbstractThe trends brought about as a result of computer software revolution and evolution aremany and varied in just about any of the traditional engineering disciplines. A lot of suchtrends might be seen as a response to an interesting reversal of opportunity, which isapplication-driven research. Not too long ago it had been research
figure. The uppermostfilter is designed to detect a ‘1,’ while the filter below it is designed to detect a ‘0.’ Theassociated voltage waveforms are shown in Figure 12. Figure 13 illustrates a slightly more complex method of handling FSK. Once again, theinput to the system (shown in green) is fed into a VCO (in blue). This time, however, the receiveris essentially a phase locked loop system. The PLL filter output voltage is proportional to thefrequency changes, which represent the 0's and 1's of the transmitter. Figure 14 shows thecorresponding waveforms.4. Frequency hopping Frequency hopping is illustrated in Figure 15. The ‘hopping code’ signal is provided bythe two pulsed voltage sources (in green). These provide for several
. This paper discusses the main reason that led to the introduction of design in this course, the process that was followed to achieve integration of design, examples of projects that were carried out by students, the benefits and disadvantages that have been identified, and the author’s assessment of the whole experience. 1. Reason for adding design into the course: Need for reform Design was added to the first course in fluid mechanics to respond to the criticisms of engineering education that were prevalent in the literature at the end of the 1980's and the beginning of the 1990's. People who wanted reform criticized engineering education. They charged that graduates of American Engineering

Retention Programming Evaluation-WISE Member forumsWISE holds two member forums each semester to evaluate the progress for the new andcontinuing retention programs. This past fall feedback was positive. Students really enjoyed thewellness series, as well as the community service involvement. In addition, old favorites like theWIN series and WISE Seminars were popular as well. Students further greatly appreciated theimprovements made to the WISE Center stating: “It feels like the College is taking us seriouslyand really supporting us.”VI. Retention ResultsThe enrollment of women in college ha s been steadily increasing from 532 (16.8%) in fall 1991to 940 (20.2

differences among the various majorshave also been posited. These techniques are a response to the rise of interdisciplinary designcourses coupled with a more distracted generation with a shorter attention span. As the methodshave been proven successful at the K-12 level, with proper implementation, there is a highprobability of success of the modified techniques presented. The re-interpretations arenecessarily diluted but have shown promise anecdotally through the author's experience. Werecommend further study using both qualitative and quantitative assessments to validate initialobservations of the implementation of these techniques.References[1] A. Van den Beemt, M. MacLeod, J.
