Each year the studentswere separated into groups to create an educational video that illustrates a fluid dynamics conceptthat both engineers and non-engineers can learn from. A list of possible subjects to focus on wasprovided, but students were not restrained to those topics. The project was first assigned to aclass of 2012 with 32 students. The students did not receive any additional resources, such asvideo editing software, to complete the project in the five week period. The next year the projectwas assigned to a class of 2013 with 35 students under the same conditions as the first year’sgroup. The desired

Many companies are beginning to offer these types of devices,and prices are getting to the point where students may be able to obtain one for about the cost ofa textbook to use throughout their college careers and beyond. Before outlining the suite of exercises, we take a look at the pedagogical framework whichprovides the basis for them. Most undergraduate engineering courses that have laboratorycomponents involve a series of structured exercises that employ preconfigured devices that yieldpredictable results.

. INTRODUCTIONAt our institution the majority of the undergraduate computer science majors go on to careers as software engineerswith a few continuing directly into graduate education. We have developed a hands-on approach to teachingalgorithms that emphasizes programming, benchmarking and tweaking. This report builds on our experience over athree-year period involving two different courses: “Analysis of Algorithms” and “Bioinformatics Algorithms”. Wefollow standard texts [10, 13], the students frame the problem, describe the solution and express an appropriatealgorithm in pseudocode. They derive a timing function and the Big-O behavior of the algorithm.Students then write programs in C++, C# or Java to implement the algorithms. After thorough testing to

engineeringstudents must show "a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning"[2]. Engineers must become lifelong learners in order for them to be capable of reinventingthemselves as industries change and evolve during their careers [6]. Engineers who do not havethe ability to learn and adapt to changing times will soon be left behind. Having the ability tolearn does not imply that an engineer will be an expert in many subjects. Instead, it means thatthey will be able to identify what they need to learn and then find and analyze the appropriateinformation sources to further their knowledge [5].Many students believe that they are expert searchers and that they can locate anything they needon the internet simply by searching

Hydraulic-actuator delay during simulation can lead toinaccurate and unreliable test results. Adaptive compensation of actuator delay is complex for aMDOF structure due to multiple mode participation. Modal analysis allows researchers toconvert MDOF structures into equivalent SDOF structures in order to simplify the reliabilityassessment analysis of time-delay MDOF structures in RTHS testing.

Though theFreeRange courseware is relatively popular with students and faculty who teach the courses, it isessentially a career-killer in the context of an administration that places a higher value onresearch, publications, and grant acquisitions than it does on actual course development.AcknowledgementsThanks to Nicholas Ross, Jennifer Lumbres, Andrew Ma, and James Mealy for help withproofreading.

Their socioeconomic rise is largely due to immigration: Asianimmigrants arrive in the United States with more than average levels of education,job skills, and incomes.
