The purpose of the project was two-fold: (i) todevelop a software communication simulator that an instructor can use to teach his/her studentsvarious communication concepts in a visual way, and ii) it must be such that a student can use itat his/her own pace to learn communications concepts. Several groups of students worked toimprove the simulator over a period of two years while all others in the classes participated in theuser focus group. The user focus group gave their input through the completion of surveys, uponusing and evaluating the simulator.In this paper, a complete discussion of the implementation of the projects, survey results

Certainly, this is an investment in their employee’stechnical and professional development, which is, of course, important. But we believe thatemployers have more incentive to make such an investment if the project that forms thecenterpiece of the student’s doctoral research is important and of value to their employer.1 At Johns Hopkins the residency requirement for PhD students is set at the university level; the School ofEngineering cannot waive

A major reason for the challenge is thereluctance of faculty to change if what they are doing is familiar and seems to be “working.”Difficulties associated with change are faculty’s readiness

The MATLAB programming instruction and assignments were approached throughthe context of the dynamics course material. This allowed students to make connections betweentheir typical dynamics course content and the more abstract programming concepts which cansometimes be difficult for them to understand.
