(Committee on Prospering in the Global Economy of the 21st Century, 20072). Thegoal of the RAMP-UP (Recognizing Accelerated Math Potential in Underrepresented People)program at North Carolina State University (NCSU) is to increase the number and diversity ofstudents who enroll and succeed in higher-level mathematics courses. To achieve this goal, theRAMP-UP project places NCSU graduate engineering and undergraduate engineering and matheducation students, and mathematics and computer science students from Shaw University (ahistorically black university) in local public schools. The placement of these university students(fellows) serves two purposes. One purpose is to enrich the learning experience of K-12 studentsby serving as role models and mentors

, students in the senior Biochemical Engineering elective course were assigned thetask of creating problems suitable for the BioEMB website. The problem creation was generatedfrom information in research papers on bioprocesses. Coupled with a rubric for the problemdevelopment and some mentoring by the faculty, students have learned about process design,along with the peer review and publishing aspect of having their problems posted on the website.The project has shown that students can learn about applying material balance concepts to thescale-up of published data and information to develop a process design strategy. In turn, theproblems were "beta-tested" in the undergraduate chemical engineering core course. Assessmentof this project by means of

Program managers generally have enough technicalskill to be able to do development, and they understand enough about the technical details to appreciatethe difficulties with developing software and can estimate how long it takes to fix bugs, provide morefeatures, etc. Note that program managers are not normal “managers” in that they have no direct reports(people who are subordinate to them in the company’s organizational chart). Instead, they manage theflow of information between various people on a project so that people are working together towards theend product. They derive their authority through their ability to do this, rather than through a company’sorganizational
that accommodates the variedindividual learning styles of the student population. Minority students from the lower socio-economic stratus in particular are susceptible to this mismatch between traditional teaching andnon-traditional learning styles.3-5 One viable solution is then to implement a greater number ofhands on projects, as well as visual exercises including multimedia, in addition to the traditionaloral and written instruction. However, the problem then becomes one of time, as many educatorsalready feel overwhelmed trying to complete the curriculum as defined by the state, satisfyingthe testing requirements such as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), fulfilling paperwork forNo Child Left Behind, parent meetings, managing behavior

soon back up. It was determined by both hisemployer and social worker that some variety of device that would help David’s pacewould be a great aid. A team of senior engineering capstone design students selected thisproject and dedicated two semesters to the design, fabrication, testing evaluation anddelivery of the final device.During the two terms, David made several visits to the campus and he and the studentsbecame quite close. Delivery day became a highly publicized event with local officials,university officials, family and friends all in attendance along with local and nationalpress. David thoroughly enjoyed the festivities and was immensely pleased by his device.At that time, the project seemed an incredibly successful effort for
all 68HC11 CPU laboratoryexercises and project designs intact, the design/development of a modified Motorola 68HC11development system became a reasonable choice. The objectives of this new approach are: (1)sustain the use of the 68HC11 CPU, (2) keep the EVB hardware cost to a minimum, (3) make asmooth transition from 8 bit CPU to 16 bit CPU applications, (4) give students ownership offlexible hardware that can be used in several courses, and (5) relieve the financial burden on theinstitution. After two trials in designing and testing of the hardware circuits andimplementation in the laboratory with students for two years, this hardware was named the“CETHC11EVB2” and has been successfully used in several related courses.

coursework. Students fail in programming classes at rates starting at 20%[3], [4] up to 50% [5]. Pair Programming suggests grouping a student with a peer, employing the“two heads are better than one” philosophy shown to improve the output of projects [6] andperhaps learning outcomes [2]. Students placed in teams may also gain the benefits of peerprogramming, while also providing more authentic industry working conditions and supportingABET student outcome (d), working in multidisciplinary teams [7]. This paper looks at howusing teams in the Bauhaus studio model impacts student outcomes within a programming-centric Honor First Year Engineering (HFYE) course at a large Midwestern research University.We will start by looking at how teams are formulated
