While this movement has been of considerable interest to politicians and policy makers the idea of such research has made little impact on higher education where ideas derived from industry such as total quality management seem to have had greater effect. Associated with the school effectiveness movement is the concept of educational leadership and an ancillary concept of instructional leadership neither idea of which has infiltrated higher education. In parallel with these developments the study of qualitative and quantitative methods of educational research has made considerable progress. The purpose of this paper is to argue the case for instructional leadership in higher education and to indicate the qualities and knowledge required by those who might be asked to carry out such a task in engineering education. The paper begins with a summary of the research on school effectiveness.","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.

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.

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.

The uniqueness of this exercise was two fold: (1) it forced students to completely understand the causes of the structural collapse so they might clearly explain those causes, and (2) it compelled collaboration with third year law students to present the failure evidence in mock trials. Three mock trials were performed as part of a Trial Practice course offered during fall 1999 term at the School of Law. Three teams, each consisting of two engineering students and two law students, were assigned to represent the plaintiff designer, and contractor in each trial. Each team of engineering and law students met several times to discuss the assigned case and prepare each other for the mock trial. Engineering students had to explain in lay terms all the technical concepts involved in the case and give their opinion of the probable cause of failure. Law students prepared the engineers to testify as experts in a courtroom setting under direct and cross-examinations. The students argued and presented their cases in the presence of a practising judge. The students gained valuable experience in teamwork, communications, performing under pressure in a courtroom, and understanding the importance of each discipline in the litigation process. The experience of testifying as experts in a courtroom showed the engineering students the importance of details, technical competency, objectively, reviewing the work of others, and the ethical dilemmas in professional practice. This experience encouraged engineers to collaborate with lawyers and prepared them for the future possibility of being involved in litigation and testifying in a courtroom.","PeriodicalId":371740,"journal":{"name":"30th Annual Frontiers in Education Conference.
