{"title":"Continuous monitoring of curriculum via student communications components","authors":"D. Moore, D.

The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has developed a process that helps provide the feedback necessary to address these curriculum issues; specifically in terms of written and oral communications, team functioning, and design methodology. The use of an electronic \"portfolio\" as the repository for student submissions is the starting point for the process. The procedure is designed to allow both a horizontal review (through a particular course) and a vertical review (Sophomore through Senior). The monitoring program focuses on the departmental design sequence involving a one quarter course in each of the Sophomore and Junior years, and a three quarter course in the Senior year. The student teams in each course submit material (in electronic format), material such as: meeting agendas and minutes, memos, interim reports, oral presentation slides (PowerPoint), and final reports. All the material is submitted as part of their regular course requirements. The submitted material is stored and organized to allow any component (team agendas for example) to be reviewed easily both horizontally and vertically using the rubric developed as part of the process. The system is designed to be used by internal or external reviewers. The paper gives a discussion of the process that was developed and the underlying rationalization. Specific examples are presented as well.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference. Building on A Century of Progress in Engineering Education.

A previous \"work-in-progress\", this course is currently being delivered for the second year. Interdisciplinary student teams of 4 members each receive a \"request for proposals\" describing the autonomous-vehicle project with constraints and requirements. The project requires the development of an autonomous surface vehicle capable of navigation using the Global Positioning Satellite system. The vehicle is required to deliver a series of \"tags\" to specific locations and return to the original position. Obstacle avoidance throughout the test course is necessary. The teams gain experience in the essential skills of the design process and engineering project management, including teamwork, scheduling, resource allocation, cost analysis, reporting, and documentation. The course conforms well to new ABET considerations, including the emphasis on multi-disciplinary team design and technical communication skills.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

The basic format is still very much the same as described in a previous paper (S.L. Titcomb et al., 1994). However, since that time we have learned a great deal about the practical aspects of running this type of competition, as well as how to create design criteria that provide a challenge and a positive learning experience for a wide spectrum of high school juniors and seniors. The primary features of this competition, which include design, construction, documentation, and competition, are reviewed. In addition, changes that we have incorporated over the years, and feedback from participating students and teachers, are presented. A discussion of the attitudes of students about the relationships among strategy, teamwork, and design is also included.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

Students in science, math, or engineering classes often focus on plugging numbers into equations rather than understanding the basic concepts behind the equations. Eric Mazur (1997) developed materials to help physics teachers move students from juggling equations to actually thinking and learning the concepts of physics by use of concept questions and peer instruction. Statics concept questions that instructors can use to encourage students to grapple with underlying concepts as well as support active learning in statics classes are being developed. In addition, the questions are targeted at different levels of Bloom's (1956) taxonomy. Use of these questions in statics classes at two different institutions and initial results are described.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

Given the demanding nature of work, global delivery models, high volumes, compressed cycle times, virtual teamwork, quick response times, and diversity of technological areas, the industry has been pushed relentlessly to reinvent its attitudes to, and modes of learning. The paper details the efforts of Infosys (INFY), in the use of Web technology to augment traditional modes as a solution to the highly demanding learning needs of its 4500 software professionals. We trace the historical evolution, the initial resistance of the experimentation phase and how it was overcome, and chronicle how the use of learning technologies has succeeded in meeting some of the learning imperatives mentioned above. We also briefly touch upon the integration of learning into the knowledge management paradigm, and sketch the role of Infosys's proprietary KMM (Knowledge Management Maturity) model in raising the maturity of its learning process.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

Through the collaboration of a Mechanical Engineering Technology professor and an academic librarian, a project was designed which increased students' information research skills, their awareness of other sources of technical information, and their communication and team building skills. One problem faced by the authors was to develop strategies to integrate these skills into a curriculum that is already very demanding without deleting any of the elements in the current curriculum. A pre-test, post-test, and student comments supported the usefulness of the assignment. This paper will discuss the methods used, desired outcomes, students' experiences and the research results.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

Multi-chip modules offer an intermediate step towards system-on-chip. The intention of Matra Marconi Space is to use unprecedented levels of electronic integration in the next generation of communications satellites to provide the maximum number of channels thereby giving maximum revenue to the satellite operators. This case study has already had an impact on the curriculum of the degree courses at the University of Luton. Consequently, hardware description languages have been integrated into the electronics degrees for many years now and all students have extensive use of current, industry standard electronic design automation tools. The theme of all of the electronics courses at Luton is \"Design, Simulate, Build and Evaluate \". Students educational experience has immediate relevance in industry which has resulted in the student's obtaining exceptionally good careers when they graduate. This case study laid the foundation of the system-on-chip research at the University of Luton that has resulted in the hardware/software co-design masters programme.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.
