The field of mobile computing is the merger of these advances in computing and communication with the aim of providing seamless and ubiquitous computing environment for mobile users. Mobile computing environments are characterized by severe resource constraints and frequent changes in operating conditions. This has motivated research in many challenging problems which span several areas of computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering, such as network protocols to support mobility, efficient and adaptive resource management techniques for wireless bandwidth and battery power, predicting mobility patterns, performance modeling and simulation of mobile applications, and supporting mobile real time multimedia applications. The paper describes the experience of the authors in designing and teaching a senior/graduate level mobile computing course at Colorado State University. This course was designed for students in computer science, electrical engineering and computer engineering. The goal was to provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamental problems in the area of mobile computing and present the existing and proposed solutions for these problems from both research and development perspectives. In addition to regular homework and exams, students did term projects/papers to explore topics of their interest in more depth. Several mid-term and end-of-semester evaluations were done to gauge student satisfaction and shortcomings of the course and these evaluations were very positive.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

A unique feature of the \"integrated\" laboratory experience is that students synthesize resins which are used in subsequent experiments. Hence, students gain first-hand experience of the inter-relationships between the various steps of product/process development. Experiments designed and tested include polymer identification, polymer synthesis, polymer rheology, polymer fabrication and mechanical testing and morphology characterization. The polymer identification experiment is designed to introduce students to structure-property relationships. Solution, suspension and/or bulk polymerization are investigated in the polymer synthesis laboratory. The resin produced in this experiment is then used in subsequent experiments. Melt viscosity is studied in the polymer rheology laboratory. A 33 ton injection molding machine is then used to fabricate test specimens and to attain and understanding of process variables in the polymer fabrication laboratory. A torque rheometer is also used to study process variables. Finally, students analyse the test specimens obtained from the resin they synthesized utilizing a servo-hydraulic test system, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and a scanning electron microscope.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

And yet, there has been little developed in the way of formal preparation for engineering students so that they will become life-long learners. In fact, the loaded curriculum presented in most engineering programs works against developing the learning skills and love of learning required to be a successful LLL. Students do not have time to reflect on what they are learning or to explore personal interests through elective courses while in college. The seeds of effective LLL must be sown at the beginning of the program if the college experience is going to support this type of development in engineering students. Previously, a paper describing activities being introduced in the DTeC course at Binghamton University (BU) and the engineering science program at Broome Community College (BCC) to start students on the path toward becoming self-directed learners (SDL) was presented (S.B. Fellows et al., 2000). The paper describes developments during the past year (2000-2001) in implementing the SDL program at the two institutions.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

Technology and engineering, however, are changing at an ever-increasing pace. In the next century, engineering educators will be challenged to keep up with an increasing number of new developments within their fields of expertise. Research and industrial experiences are often used to maintain currency. Incorporating these experiences into the curriculum keeps the education of future engineers and engineering technologists current as well. Industrial experiences for civil engineering faculty often involve relationships with local consulting engineering firms. Consulting experiences can provide multiple benefits for civil engineering faculty and their students. This paper discusses consulting engineering as a means of remaining current in the practice of civil engineering and integrating consulting experiences into the curriculum. Also discussed are the benefits of consulting experiences for professional development of civil engineering technology faculty.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

With higher course standards for success, examinations have improved, a larger fraction of students achieve the goals of the class, and the proportion of students who excel has increased. Female students benefit even more than their male counterparts. The level of communication and interaction among students has also increased dramatically, with mostly positive (but some negative) effects. Although considerable progress has been made, the development and testing of educational materials well adapted to the medium remains demanding and costly. More specifically, the paper summarizes the principal results obtained with the use of CAPA (Computer Assisted Personalized Approach) as an ALN tool and presents recent data concerning student performance using this tool. CAPA is a network tool designed to facilitate and improve the way assignments, quizzes, and examinations are provided and graded in large enrollment courses.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.

We have developed a Continuous Improvement laboratory framework that introduces first-year engineering students to design practice. This involves guiding students to systematically improve computer-controlled models of electromechanical systems while emulating the methods followed by practising engineers. The initial systems were constructed by students in Spring 1999. The first improvement cycle took place in Spring 2000 when teams of first-year students received working systems developed in 1999 along with their full technical documentation. Each team applied the engineering design process to identify opportunities for improving their system and then implemented these improvements. The resulting systems (with revised documents) become the starting models for another cycle of improvement in Spring 2001. Through this project, students develop skills in problem solving, communication, teamwork and project management. We explain the motivation for and describe the Continuous Improvement methodology. We compare this methodology to the process of building a new project. Finally, we describe our students' experiences with identifying potential project improvements and preparing proposals including examples of specific improvements proposed.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.
