outside of their coursework. During their final year, engineering standardsare presented as standalone lecture in their senior capstone design course. Students prior orduring the same semester are presented with database and library resources for completingliterature reviews in a parallel course.The presentation of engineering standards is given just prior to project assignment. The timingof the instruction prior to the project assignments is because the first step after projectassignment is to complete a codes and standards worksheet (Appendix A) and realisticconstraints worksheet (Appendix B). After completing the worksheets the industry sponsors signoff on the scope of the project and standards utilized.Library instruction introduces students

Considering both researchquestions, the researchers drafted 10 initial hypotheses that were used as a starting point for theremainder of the data analysis.The next phase in analytic induction is to examine a new case25, for this study that aligned with anew interview, final report, or qualitative survey response. The aim of this examination is todetermine whether the hypotheses adequately describe the new case. If a hypothesis does nothold, the hypothesis is either (a) modified to capture the new case and all previous cases moreaccurately or (b) given bounds such that this new case is excluded from the hypothesis25.

Courses in the Digital Signal Processing/Filter areas(including speech, image and video processing) have been traditionally viewed by students to befairly mathematical subjects including many abstractions (e.g., spectrum, analysis/designmethods in time/frequency domains, SNR, bandwidth, white/pink noise, various transforms, etc.)The pedagogical value of this work is that, with the help of modern engineering tools,engineering educators can better help students visualize these apparently difficult (but important)concepts.

Data from the pre- and post-surveycomparisons are described here. While, in general engineers had pretty optimistic and positiveimpressions about how their skills would relate to design challenges with elementary schoolchildren and their families, a number of items stand out as being enhanced by the participation inthe program. For instance, most engineers agreed that at the outset they were fairly effective atteaching difficult concepts to non-technical people (58%). However after their experience in thefamily
