This helps stimulate creativity and provides studentsthe opportunity to apply their course learning outcomes with real world applications. Interactingwith these tools, in parallel to their coursework, also bolsters the students’ technical experiencebuilding, testing, and troubleshooting equipment, all of which, are skills that appeal to futureemployers.

university usually did not follow theseguidelines although they believed writing to be an important tool for student to learn andunderstand.Universities and colleges have implemented various forms of writing for engineers over theyears; however, the implementations have mainly been at the course level and not an overallcurriculum change [4]. The need to assess the ABET outcome communicating with a broadaudience is usually the main driver of these changes with programs assessing how well thestudents communicate within the criteria set for the respective assignments. This means that thewriting is usually limited to laboratory write-ups, small class project reports, and a capstonepaper (usually written as a team). In addition, most programs offer no

At the heart of the SIMPLE model is the idea of ongoing learningcommunities in which instructors learn about evidence-based teaching practices, try newevidence-based strategies in their courses, and receive feedback and support in that process 28,29.The conceptual framework for the groups is built on the five SIMPLE principles: Sustainable,Incremental change, Mentoring, People-driven, and Learning Environment focused, which werediscussed in detail in a previous paper 28.

During the Fall of 2006, the instructors for this courseintroduced tours of the new facilities and selected a team-based design/build/compete project asa way to provide more focus on engineering. The new building and other additions to our labfacilities made for an impressive introduction for our students. Students commented that theyreally enjoyed seeing demonstrations of some of the equipment and wanted to see furtherdemonstrations. In the end-of-semester course evaluation, the lab tours and demos were the onlypart of the course that the students were unanimously in favor of.For the design/build/compete project, students utilized the new senior design

with graduate students.General Tips for Working with Graduate StudentsBe selective but not picky in selecting your studentsMany times, new faculty members start looking for the ideal graduate student – who had a 4.0GPA from a top 10 engineering program, with exceptional oral and written communication skillsand experience doing undergraduate research. They will then pass up very strong students whohave a significant amount of desire, but may not possess all of the desired characteristics.Clearly, there are some basic level skills that graduate students will need to do a particularresearch project, but a significant number of these skills can be made up for by hard work andenthusiasm for a research project.Treat the graduate students as a junior

While on one hand, due to resourcesconstraint, it is not practical to offer several courses that cover all of student interest areas. Onthe other hand, because of the newly launched programs, often times the enrollment number isnot enough to run a full course.
