Students valued the use of group projects as a way tobuild community and noted the importance of classroom management to build community.IntroductionAcross the country, many biological and agricultural engineering departments are also home toagricultural systems management/technology (ASMT) programs. From a historical perspective,nearly all these ASMT programs have evolved from traditional agricultural mechanizationprograms. This evolution parallels how biological engineering programs evolved from traditionalagricultural engineering programs. We

-Progress: Constructing a prediction model of creativity and cognitive concept connections based on learning portfolioAbstractThe skills required of new employees by industry are increasingly interdisciplinaryand creativity-related because of a paradigm shift in target markets. Engineeringeducation should therefore focus on helping students develop their creativity andcritical thinking skills. A student’s level of creativity is usually evaluated byexamining his or her final projects. However, the language that students use indiscussions and interactions can be analyzed to determine their cognitive processesand thus their creativity.

of graduate studies impacting practicing professionals, project management issues,and job search issues.1. IntroductionIt can be said that, from many aspects, the best time for an engineering student to obtaintheir Ph.D. is after a period of working in industry. By the time one completes five toseven years of higher education, students can be “burned out” and otherwise not ready forthe rigor of a Doctoral Degree. By breaking at this point and working in industry for afew years, students can obtain a better understanding of the practice of engineering thancan be obtained from the classroom and co-operative (co-op) or internship experience.Furthermore, they can better understand exactly what area of engineering they wish topursue in their

A triaxial body-fixed accelerometer is used to record humanmotion. Sampled data are transmitted using an IEEE 802.15.4 wireless transceiver to a datalogger and passed to a PC. The analysis of the recorded data facilitates possible characterizationof human motion. The implemented system allows for inexpensive and unobtrusive monitoringduring normal daily activities at home or in a nursing home environment.1

Since all engineering is multidiscipline in nature, itprovides a wonderful vehicle to integrated different subjects. Although Jamerson’s engineeringfocused curriculum uses science, mathematics, economics, social science, history, language, andcommunication to get a project completed, it has an additional value to the school. Workingwithin the engineering design process not only allows teachers to focus on the subject matterknowledge and skills but also on the development of a platform to foster the higher lever skills ofsynthesizing, analyzing, and comparing data.
