Session 2548 VHDL and Small Format Color Displays ”Video Images Make Learning Fun” Jeffrey S. LillieAbstractRochester Institute of Technology requires a course in Principals of Design Automation for ElectricalEngineering Technology and Computer Engineering Technology students. At the completion of thecourse, students are expected to know the basics of coding for synthesis, test bench techniques,modelsim simulator, and the Xilinx tool flow for targeting complex programmable logic devices(CPLD’s) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA’s).A quick
Board for Engineering and Technology, EngineeringCriteria 2000 (ABET 2000), and its call for a required multidisciplinary experience stimulatedincreased interest in developing courses in this area. Still more recently, an increased number ofpapers advocating multidisciplinary project-based curricula have appeared at conferences and injournals34, 40, 42. It has become clear that project-based learning is addressing a need in thepreparation of engineers that was not previously satisfied by standard curricula32, 34, 40.Dialogue with the construction management Industry Advisory Board (IAB) revealed thefollowing important issues and obstacles our students experience upon entering industry. First,students often have not encountered large-scale team

However, in delivering engineering courses, it is often challenging to providelaboratory experience of cell-based assays to undergraduate students, as the lab work involved isexpensive, delicate, and usually requires substantial experimental skills. We report thedevelopment of a microfluidic based assay kit to facilitate undergraduate laboratory experienceof live cell measurements. It also serves as a tool to introduce microfluidic technology, a drivingforce in the current trend of miniaturization of analytical instrumentation. The educational kitallows students to observe and analyze the change of adhesion behavior of live cells on thechannel

decades have focused on information technology and data management and not onthe impact a project has on the quality and cost of living. Simultaneously people have shiftedfrom rural areas to the overburdened infrastructure of cities. These infrastructures are aging andmaintenance or replacement is not keeping pace with deterioration. (2)There has always been talk since 1960 of adding extra years to the current 4 year program asindicated in an article in this September‟s issue of the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) magazine.(3) The co-op universities have always used the co-op terms wisely as thoseextra years. Originally the draft “Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21 st Century”listed 15 desired outcomes; a review increased

It is a portable,inexpensive, but highly useful hardware platform, which recreated a classroom or laboratoryenvironment e.g. at home. When coupled with the Mobile Studio Desktop software, the systemduplicated a large amount of the hardware often used to teach electrical engineering, computerengineering, physics and K-12 technology-oriented courses.There was a lot of refinement of the project through pilot studies and subsequent results showedthat the use of personal electronic instruments increases the level of student engagement andmotivation [2], [3].

begun introducing more “design-like” problems intotheir undergraduate analysis courses taught to freshman and sophomore students such as thosedetailed in [7, 18, 23, 31]. One particular example is Miller’s work at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology [20, 21, 22]. Miller has developed approximately a dozen small, hour-long,hands-on, design-like exercises that aim to give sophomore engineering students a feel for someof the engineering concepts they have learned in theory. While the material tested well indevelopment, actual implementation in MIT analysis courses has been limited. Other approachesto using design early in the curriculum include the Tip-A-Can project described by Freckleton of

ASIC Issues ASIC technology provides a number of advantages in digital system design to industry. Their use willtypically permit expanded functionality for a product in a smaller space using fewer parts, thereby decreasingpower and cooling requirements overall and increasing system reliability. System performance gains can often beachieved through higher levels of integration attained with ASICs. Time to market for new products can bedrastically reduced with some types of ASICs, resulting in the potential for greater

unable to find the time, money or resources to learn the technologies demanded by emerging industry. In reality, this is due to a lack of effective NA education methodology which can be solved by applying an elastic system with the best practices of: educational curriculum support, network technology, engineering and management, which can make the NA curriculum effectively adapt to the drastic changes of industry requirements. Consequently, college education in NA needs to adapt and promote viable curriculum innovation in order to improve the efficacy and preparedness of the next generation network administrators. 3URFHHGLQJV RI WKH 6SULQJ 0LG$WODQWLF 6HFWLRQ

In fact, our data showed no significant differences in survey resultsbased on whether the students were Engineering Technology students, Consumer Science andMerchandising students, or Information and Logistics
challenge of the GK-12 initiative is to design a program that best advances themultiple goals of the program:1. To broaden the education of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduate students to include intensive experiences in educational pedagogy and process;2. To encourage the participation of STEM faculty and students in the difficult issues facing K- 12 educators through the nurturing of university-school partnerships;3. To assist K-12 teachers in their endeavor to improve classroom instruction; and4. To help schools improve K-12 student achievement in STEM.The first of these goals is accomplished in STEP through the graduate-Fellow summer trainingprogram detailed below and through the direct interaction of the

with one another. The case is quite different when it comes to technologyprograms. Most colleges can not develop courses and programs in certain areas of technology.In particular, programs in photonics and related technologies require substantial start-up costs.These costs are prohibitive for many institutions especially in light of the relatively small numberof students these programs would serve. Another factor is the requirement for laboratories inmany science and technology courses.
