Nashville StateTechnical Community College has had courses of this type for the last 30 years, but the courseswere specific to a degree program. While each of these courses tried to address such factors ascomputer familiarization, use of computer utility programs, use of the internet, teamwork, andconcepts in problem solving, they varied tremendously in the instructional strategies that used andthe overall effectiveness of the courses.Nashville State Technical Community College has now developed a “New Student Orientation”Course.

It was a very rewarding experiencethat greatly expanded a new educator’s exposure to the academic world. However, they werealso very time consuming requiring a great deal of preparation in addition to the actual meetings.It was exciting to be part of a dynamic and growing department. As a direct result ofaccomplishments from the first year, a new Software Engineering Technology (SET) programwas added expanding the options for students. In addition, a local Cisco Networking Academybegan operation with a new lab and equipment. Then the opportunity arose for a full ElectricalEngineering (EE

Session 1532 The Obstacles to Teaching Fuzzy Set Theory and Its Applications Dr. Henry L. Welch. P.E. Milwaukee School of EngineeringAbstractOne goal of an engineering curriculum is to produce graduates who are knowledgeable in currenttechnology and practices. One of the better ways to do this is to provide a variety of senior-leveltechnical electives in new and popular technology areas. The danger inherent in this is that manyundergraduates are unprepared for exposure to these topics due either to a lack of prerequisitematerial or technical maturity. Further, inappropriately scoped
