Typical teaching course loadsfor individual faculty are between eight to twelve different courses per year. Despite these heavyloads, the department cannot easily support M.S. degrees in any specialty area other thanenvironmental engineering. Our thesis based M.S. requires 48 quarter hours with 12 hours ofresearch, leaving 36 quarter hours or nine “equivalent” graduate courses at the rate of fourquarter hours per course. Our staff cannot easily specialize enough at

They have completed one MATLAB and one “C++” programmingcourse, but have no computer vision or image processing background. Within the major,each student is required to complete a year long senior project. A large number of theseprojects are robotics-related. To support these projects, overviews of advanced topics,such as face recognition and computational intelligence, are included. We’ve found thesetopics also serve to foster long-term interest in the area of computer vision. To supportthe unique mission of the U. S.

The “Internet” was developed by scientists and researchers at DARPA in 1962,long before most people had any concept of what a computer was or could do2. Primarily usedfor research, this resource saw no real change for 30 years. In 1990’s the “World Wide Web”was developed by a group of people who worked on different components of this newtechnology to make the WWW a reality2. In the mid 1990’s, businesses saw potential profitfrom this network of people, and the Internet boom started with online companies and

This topic, the effect of electricity on the mechanicalproperties of a material, has not been investigated. Furthermore, laboratory set-up andprocedures designed to investigate these effects have not been designed and published forincorporation into typical material science courses. Therefore, in order to begin to identify theseeffects and to broaden the scope of the traditional laboratory experiments associated withstandard materials science courses, a test apparatus was developed that allows

Figure 5 shows the flocculation/sediment tank whichwas made of similar construction materials. Due to the need of sloping floors, it was moredifficult to construct and despite multiple layers of epoxy and caulk—the tank would notcompletely seal up and some leakage occurred.

In the1930's Dewey (1939) focused on the importance of experiential learning in the natural sciences.After World War II, returning veterans pushed America's educational system to recognizealternative systems of learning. This resulted in the development of standardized examinationssuch as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
