. This way, technology andengineering schools that would like to implement such a system for teaching fundamentalEngineering & Technology (ET) theory to students will not be deterred by the high costs ofimmersive facilities (e.g. CAVE). This framework can be included in the form of PBL-basedexercises or within course curriculum in ET departments/schools. PBL involves efforts on part ofthe students that involves active learning and solving real-world like problems. The proposedprototype framework can be used for such PBL exercises as demonstrated with examples in thispaper.Introduction The effectiveness of the use of non-traditional instructional methods in aiding studentlearning has been demonstrated by several notable authors

which canoverwhelm network administrators. Security systems are traditionally often layered in a top-down manner. Abstract models could enable administrators to focus upon relevant details whilstfiltering out non-essential details. Such models could also be used in a top-down fashion thuspermitting the control of complexity via recursive decomposition. There are currently manysecurity models used in industry and for teaching students about network security. These modelsare not only restricted to confidentiality, authentication, data integrity, non-repudiation, andaccess control, but also take into account physical and human aspects that can effect security.

Another conclusion is thatthese changes need to lead to changes in the educational programs that prepare their graduatesfor licensure and professional practice in civil engineering, with the topics to be addedconsiderably in excess over those which can be removed as no longer relevant. The resultingpressure on especially the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum is increasingly obvious.This leads to the following basic questions: “What should we teach civil engineering students?”and “How should the needed educational content be packaged – can all be realistically placed Page 9.910.1within a four-year undergraduate degree program

objective of this collaboration is to prepare engineering students to be the leaders of thefuture by equipping them with both technical and leadership skills. So, through the integration ofcommunication, writing, teamwork and ethics into the existing engineering curriculum,graduates of the program will be prepared to occupy positions of leadership in organizations.But, to fully understand interdisciplinary work (and its successes and failures) one must firstunderstand that disciplines are cultures. Thus, when individuals from two or more disciplinesseek to collaborate in teaching or research, the result is a “culture clash” of sorts. This clash isevident through differences in language, practices, and norms. The goal, however, is not tominimize all

Unlike the teaching that now characterizes medicine or the law,engineers were taught in an environment curiously devoid of a sense of practice. Over the years,this “decontextualization” caused distortions in attitudes and values, along with graduatingengineers who had little exposure to the types of professional maturity and judgment they wouldneed from the very first day they stepped into the work world.16Most would agree that expectations for today’s engineering education incorporates richer notionsof how people learn and of how to nurture the higher-order skills necessary for a

The key teaching practices requireopportunities to reformulate and articulate newly found meanings. This activity is critical tosuccessful learning.Associated with the constructivist approach is a focus on helping students become aware of theirlearning and learning processes.

Recent notable increases in co-operative education programs, industrial internships,design laboratories, and industry-based design problems are attempts to bridge this gap. Many ofthese may be viewed as a return to “apprenticeships.” Over 60% of the Industrial andManufacturing Engineering students at Wichita State University have had at least one semesterof co-operative education or equivalent industrial experience. This exposure is valuable in manyrespects but our experience indicates that this does not directly lead to an integration ofengineering knowledge and skills
