, is particularly urgent in Texas becauseof a 2006 legislative decision requiring all high school students, beginning with those 15.1277.9who entered ninth grade in 2007, to complete four years of science to graduate under thestate’s default degree plan. This fourth year of science, which must be laboratory-based,may be selected from existing courses in anatomy/physiology, astronomy, advancedbiology, chemistry and physics, environmental systems and research/design, or may be anew course in space science or a new course in engineering. In schools offering anengineering option, this new initiative will put enormous pressure on secondary

Either individual student desks or large tables with multiple chairs may bemore suitable. The equipment in the room to include the amount of black board space,projection systems, etc. may limit how course material is presented. Is the classroom close to alaboratory or is there classroom space in the laboratory if experiments are part of the lessonobjectives? Is there space in the classroom for large models or demonstrations? Is the coursecovering design or is it a seminar?33 All of these (and many more) issues affect the learningenvironment for the course.

Complex systems are typically formed from interacting elements, which themselves are increasingly “intelligent” and partially autonomous. A complex system cannot be managed in the head of a single person, but it is always essential to see such systems as a single entity, and at different levels of detail.39

theIncubator. However, typically an M.S. graduate student will concentrate on coursework duringthe first year, and on a thesis project during the second year. Also, knowledge gained from thefirst-year coursework and familiarity with facilities, equipment and laboratory procedures may beimportant to the success in research areas. Contrary to this normal flow, a first-year graduatestudent that commits to work with an Innovation Incubator client may be required to begin worksoon after arriving at the University. Since the standard commitment between the Incubator and aClient is for 12 months, then effectively the research work is front-loaded for the student. This is acultural change that carries with it both positive and negative consequences. An

The project required a tight coordination of the course.All students functioned in the same computer-assisted learning environment (access to computernetwork, simulation software, computer-controlled laboratory setup). Progressive approach,project orientation and coordination ensured that the instructional design of the course remainedthe same regardless of the instructional media used in the lectures.

But this study is still a laboratory study, asresearchers were required to be present to perform labelling and facilitate data collection.Another limitation is in the usage of smartwatches.

We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have
