Analysis of our data did not significantly demonstrate an improvement in solarproductivity at increased altitudes. However, the rigorous test methodology developed provides ameans for quantitative analysis in cities with greater levels of pollution relative to the city tested.The survey of students indicated a positive correlation between participation in the project andthe amount students felt they learned during the process.Introduction Many undergraduate lab courses in the science and engineering fields are designed tointroduce students to fundamental experimental techniques through guided laboratory tours, butmay not develop a student’s ability to

that can be tackled with simple tools and small budgets. We have createda Freshman seminar subject at MIT in which the students build and modify a kit-based modelrocket. In parallel we discuss the elements of rocket physics and guide them in creating theirown predictions of the what the acceleration curve should look like for the rockets. Their goalfor the term is to collect the data needed to test their predictions. To accomplish it, they build acompact microcontroller circuit that can log acceleration at 1,000 samples per second. Duringthe term, the students learn the basics of programming the microcontroller and explore its uses inthe laboratory. At the end of the term, the class goes to a large open area, launches the rockets,and returns

While computer programming instruction remains, we now teachMATLAB, software that is currently being used in several other courses that are part of the CivilEngineering curriculum. In addition, we now teach MATLAB during a balsa wood bridgedesign competition, in which groups of students compete to build the truss-style bridge havingthe highest benefit (a function of strength) and lowest cost. Structural, cost, and profit analysesare done using MATLAB scripts that students write as homework assignments through thesemester.

Itis typically not until students have excelled in the individual reward structure for 12 years thatwe force them to work in teams. When we do this we tend not to provide them with the tools orthe language to support this new work practice.

This paper contends that there needs to be arapid and pervasive systemic change to electronics technology education now or there is a realdanger that the skill sets of tomorrow’s graduates will become even more disconnected from theworld of work than they presently are. This change needs to embrace and emphasis a systemslevel approach to the teaching of electronics technology along with a meaningful infusion of theScan’s report soft skills into the curriculum.During the early 1960s, the United States Office of Education, under the then Department ofHealth, Education, and Welfare, prepared curriculum

Students movethrough a standard sequence of self-contained courses taught in isolation where they learn tosolve problems within the narrow context of individual courses6. Laboratory courses are oftentaught using a “cookbook” approach, not affording students sufficient opportunity for criticalthinking and synthesis of knowledge; connecting what they have learned to prior knowledge orexperience and applying what they have learned in new applications and/or novel situations.Upon completion of core coursework, students are often expected to synthesize the knowledgegained in each course

EducationThere is an interesting trend with respect to copying. 96.8 % of students believe that copyingfrom another student during an exam is cheating. This number drops to 72.0 % for copyinghomework from another student, 59.1 % for copying laboratory reports from previous terms,49.3 % for copying homework from previous terms, and 17.9 % for copying passages out of thetextbook. There is a corresponding increase in students who thought these acts were unethicalbut not cheating. Exams, laboratory reports, and homework are all methods of assessing studentperformance in a class and all play a role in the final grade, yet students are obviously making adistinction between them.
