This understanding andlinking of tenure and promotion requirements is far from clear-cut and variessignificantly between larger research-oriented universities and smaller teaching-orientedcolleges, and even varies significantly across similar types of institutions. A completelisting of all possible tenure and promotion requirements at all types of institutions is, ofcourse, not feasible within a single paper. However, even without such a complete list ofrequirements, it is important

Using the computer programSketchUp, a catalog of 3D manipulative computer models were created and incorporated into avariety of academic Construction Drawing and Analysis class exercises. This tool enabledstudents to manipulate, orbit, zoom in/out, and have selective viewing of constructioncomponents learning models. These activities allow students to dissect a building structure anddevelop an understanding how building components inter-relate.

However, it is not a crisis of just technicalissues. What is needed with respect to global learning and experience is more than just technicalcompetence and expertise.

The students are exposed to digital circuit design using discrete 74xx seriescomponents during the first four weeks of the semester. For the rest of the semester, all designs aretargeted at FPGA. The use of 74xx series components has been kept in the laboratory for two reasons.First, a 74xx series component might be all that is needed for a simple design. Second, the concept ofputting together a design utilizing multiple components (system-level design) can be introduced.Potentially, this encourages the students to optimize their designs so that wiring the digital circuit iseasier.Our findings through this introduction have all been positive.
