Response to the inclusion of laboratory activity in thedegree program received the highest rating (4.44/5.0). Respondents preferred to have athesis/major project as a part of the degree rather than taking additional courses, by giving thelowest rating of 3.16/5.0 for additional courses. Respondents’ choices of the possible ECTspecialization courses were ranked into three categories. A mixture of computer networking andcontrol systems courses were the top choice courses among the 18 possible courses. The paperdescribes this survey results in detail.I.

observationsshow that the education establishment is not doing an adequate job of educating engineeringstudents for the information age. In our opinion, a major reason for this is due to lack ofappropriate educational materials that bridge the gap between theory and practice are notavailable to teachers. The Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education(LITEE) at Auburn University has therefore embarked on a project to develop these educationalmaterials. This paper discusses the development of the new educational materials and the resultsof their evaluation in the classroom.2.

In prior years thecourse had focused primarily on assembly language programming of the Motorola 68HC11.Since this processor is essentially obsolete and the tools used in our laboratory sections weresignificantly out-of-date, this was an appropriate time to wipe the slate clean and reconsider allaspects of the course.We identified several unique pedagogical goals for this particular course. First, it is important thatstudents use programming languages that are consistent with current industrial practice.

Moreimportantly, they need the ability to synthesize these with the technical skills taught in theircurricula. Students also often fail to see that when one looks at a particular real-world problem,different IE concepts and methods could apply (albeit in varying degrees), and that the essence ofIE lies in the synthesis of all these methods within a systems-level approach. While mostprograms have a senior design project of some sort there are very few curricula that go beyondthis to explicitly address the issue of synthesis.Localization/Globalization. As noted

To ensure compliance with the “nature of team work”, thefollowing have been instituted: • An “ECE Team Guidelines” document is distributed to all students in the ECE lab sequence (see Appendix A). • A “Teamwork Rubric Template”, used by the “Lab Team Captain” at least five times during the semester, to document the nature of the teamwork through the contribution of each team member to the project (see Appendix B).It is clear that here is where the students learn some of the most important aspects of a globalperspective, (i.e., to employ effective and appropriate interaction and teamwork with people), asillustrated by the attached evaluation form.

The primary learning objective of the project was to be able toconvert a gasoline engine to operate by burning hydrogen with gasoline or by itself as analternate fuel. Upon successful installation of the system on a computer-linked engine teststand, the plan is to enable students to conduct performance tests on a ‘dual-fuel’ engine.____________________________________________________________________ Page
