This is something students appreciate, especially freshmen whoare often not especially engaged with their engineering departments 10. In Reisslen et al.’s 8survey of freshman students who had taken a hands-on laboratory sequence, many of the onlysurvey questions that showed significant differences were ones relating to their interactions withthe professor and teaching assistant. Students rated their opportunities to interact with bothprofessor and teaching assistants higher after having taken the class than before.Relevance of Mathematics.

Therefore, Orange Inc. released an RFP for a design-build ofa 50,000-node data center to handle the company’s expanding server needs. The RFP wasreleased to interested “companies” (groups from the CE project management course) whoresponded to the request with a bid submission. ECE students were tasked with developingserver specifications for the data center RFP and acting as Orange Inc. liaisons to the CE“companies” preparing bid proposals.

was developed by a Russianscientist, G. S. Altshuller and his colleagues. TRIZ hypothesized that the solution of any givenproblem or one similar to it has already be done. Creativity is how to find that solution and adaptit to the specific problem. After reviewing 2.5 million patents from 1946 to 1985, Altshuller andhis colleagues found patterns that led to the breakthrough solutions to given problems. Thesepatterns were summarized into 40 inventive principles for problem solving, the separationprinciples, laws of technical evolution and technology forecasting and 76 standard solutions.Advanced Systematic Inventive Thinking (ASIT) is a creative thinking method derived fromTRIZ by R.

underrepresentation of white women and people of color inengineering undergraduate education are diverse, yet follow common patterns: many attempt toprovide undergraduates with tools for better negotiation of institutions by decreasing bias,increasing access, and improving fairness. An examination of recent summaries of work ongender and race helps reveal these patterns.AAUW (formerly the American Association for University Women)’s recent summary of criticalresearch10 on gender in STEM disciplines describes six common types of research: 1)examinations of gender-based theories of intelligence and how promotion of a “growth mindset”over a “fixed mindset” can help “protect” (p. 33) girls and women from various forms ofstereotype; 2) examinations of stereotype

expected tocomplete two to three modules per week, allowing for flexibility to accommodate differences intheir schedule. The timing of this course could be described as a mix between a traditionalcourse, where there are hard due dates, and a correspondence course where most of the work isusually due at the end of the course.A large reason for the modularization of material and reduction in actual lecture and laboratorytime stems from various research. In the 1980's, Johnstone and Percival indicated that theaverage attention span was approximately 10-20 minutes.5 In addition, during an average 45-90minute lecture, each required refocus further decreases the attention span. It is believed byresearchers such as Dr. Carr that attention span has

It should, therefore, be nosurprise that GNR technologies will open a constructive dialog among professionals in all fields,researchers in basic sciences and humanities, and strategic planners at the government levellooking after the interests of their constituencies.
