The final year consists of traditional capstone design projects, similar to those at mostaccredited programs.As noted in the previous section, retention can be improved by many different factors. One ofthe results of having a project course with professional skills every semester during the entiredegree program is that as students work in teams and present so that they get to know each otherwell and develop a community. As already noted, a community aids in student retentionthroughout the entire four-year sequence [4]. Particularly in the second year, more benefit isgained when a focus is placed on directing students toward their future careers and providingmentorship to aid their motivation to continue in

the availability of devices andsupport systems is growing rapidly. This standard will become a foundation of futurecommonplace technologies.Topics in wireless mesh networking should be presented to Information Technology andComputer Engineering Technology students to ensure they are well-grounded in this emergingarea. This paper describes an instructional module. It includes background information on thetechnology, the key concepts students must understand regarding ZigBee networking, theselection of a development environment, and the design of a hands-on lab experience. We brieflydiscuss the necessity of teaching this technology.IntroductionPervasive computing, first expounded by Mark Weiser1, embraces technologies that are socommonplace and

PUC currently uses WebCT Vista as its coursemanagement software. The CGT program has already been using Vista for supplemental supportfor its traditional classes.DiscussionBecause of its rapid growth, the CGT program has embraced online and hybrid coursedevelopment to alleviate some of the resource restrictions caused by this growth. The offering ofonline courses will assist in the freeing up the classroom space, which is currently at a criticalshortage.For purposes of

None of the luxury carmanuals tell us that if it has a power window it would not open when the car is sunk orstanding in flood. The most alarming thing is that we are still not doing or teaching athing about our environment, and wish to live in a culture of insensitivity. Engineers havenow produced nano-bio convergence but have ceased to learn about energy, costefficiency and green engineering strategies. This can only happen when materialsengineer work with chemical and electrical engineers. In this paper we will discussconsequences of above and describe proactive approaches

The student was so excited to actually experience procedures she had only read about in textbooks (her high school did not have a lab). Even after the student left Hawaii for college, they have maintained a very close relationship. Currently, this student is also a contributing journalist to isisHawaii’s website, sharing her new experiences at an East Coast university.Pilot programIn October 2003, WIT Oahu and isisHawaii asked a central Oahu public high school -- MililaniHigh (MHS) – to participate in the

. This is especially true for AfricanAmericans and Hispanics who constitute a significant proportion of the US population. Whitesconstituted about 76% of undergraduate engineering students in 1990 and 68% in 2002. Theenrollment of blacks in undergraduate engineering programs actually decreased from 7.0% in1995 to 6.3% in 2002. Various innovative approaches have been employed by colleges, schools,government establishments, National Science Foundation and minority interest groups to attractminorities to engineering programs. However the retention rate of minorities in engineeringprograms is about on-third, compared to two-thirds for non-minority groups. Some educatorshave argued that teaching methods used by engineering programs should even be

These web-basedtests consisted of three dimensional representations of different objects in both solid and nohidden line representations. The web-based software recorded the radio button the studentselected for each of the test questions. To ensure anonymity, an encrypted universityidentification code was used as opposed to the student’s name for data analysis purposes.
