Possible opportunities include research experiences for undergraduates and studentprograms at conferences. Both authors have started sophomores with undergraduate research.By their senior years, the students were mature researchers providing major contributions torefereed publications. The NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programprovides opportunities to pay students a competitive salary to do some research.

This is followed by the rules on how averages forengineering courses are calculated.

. Page 2.288.1In the third class period, the students spend two hours working “Real Problems” from the various disciplines. In the problem sessions, the students work in teams to solve problems and then turn in a team solution at the end of the two hour period. The problems were collected through personal visits with professors or through email.. Students are not expected to “learn the science,” but only to be able to work through the mathematics. It is not the intent of these problems to teach material in other subject areas, but to use that material to help students make use of their mathematical knowledge. Often, engineering and science texts introduce a theory and jump to the formula without developing the mathematics

In truth, tenure encompasses all of these.In any case, tenure requirements must be met prior to being selected as a more or less permanentemployee-- a very serious consideration indeed!

The resulting Cohen’s kappa was 0.70, which indicates a substantial level of inter-raterreliability.Results and DiscussionOverall, the results show little difficulty accessing current course materials, as well as low levelsof interaction with peers and the teaching team during Ecampus coursework, as further detailedbelow.

In particular, we havedeveloped laboratory classes for the new course in order to achieve an active andcooperative learning environment. Furthermore, the labs have been designed toencourage students to question results and eventually derive for themselves, concepts andtheorems of Markov processes.
