creatingcomputer based instructional content. The templates for many of the games and quizzespresented on the teaching toolbox site were designed so that they could be used by students withlimited computer skills. The creation of tutorial movies by students in engineering graphics hasbeen successful to the extent that the student materials represent a significant portion of thecourse content. The greatest depth of knowledge achieved by students occurred in areas wherethey created instructional content for others.Bibliography[1] Crown, S., Freeman, R., and Fuentes A.A., “Asynchronous Computer Based Training as a Means of Integratingthe Use of Engineering Software into the Curriculum”, Computer in Education Journal, Vol. XIV No.3, July-September 2004.[2
expected to write proposals to externalagencies to fund their research projects. In other departments, a lack of funding meant that thestudents had to be teaching assistants frequently, and some even taught at other local collegesbecause there was significant competition for the few teaching assistant opportunities in theirarea(s) of expertise. For minority students, however, this issue of funding did not come up asmuch as it did for non-minority students. This is partially due to certain internal and externalfellowships available to minority graduate students. The offices that administer internalfellowships for minority students also organize events for the students in the program. Suchevents help to build a university-wide community among

In addition, students were able to insert content into their notes that was obtained duringlecture from the internet. In one case, a student was able to insert an alternate definition fromwikipedia for several terms that were presented that day. This helped to broaden that particularstudent’s notes with additional material and to give another perspective to the topic that wasbeing taught. Another useful feature of the tools was that students were able to look at eachothers notes. Therefore, if anyone missed a class or was not able to take enough notes, s/hecould simply

As the graduate students were only required tocomplete an assignment on capacity fade mechanisms, they should be placed in small groupswith undergraduate students to discuss the information that they gathered from a thoroughreview of technical publications. This would build the confidence of the graduate students andwould also provide additional exposure of the topics to the undergraduate students.References 1.
