Cognitive engineers view learning as a process in which information is obtained, stored in long term memory and successfully recalled when needed. Minor changes in the preparations and delivery of course content provide for increased opportunity for learning and application of engineering concepts. Discussed are predominant methods of information acquisition; learning modalities, hemispheric dominance, hierarchies of learning, schema theory and explicit vs. implicit memories. Introduced are instructional design strategies for improving probability of learning whether by traditional delivery or electronic means.

An educational software tool on speech coding is presented. Portions of this program are used in our senior-level DSP class at Arizona State University to expose undergraduate students to speech coding and present speech analysis/synthesis as an application paradigm for many DSP fundamental concepts. The simulation software provides an interactive environment that allows students to investigate and understand speech coding algorithms for a variety of input speech records. Time- and frequency-domain representations of input and reconstructed speech can be graphically displayed and played back on a PC equipped with a standard 16-bit sound card. The program has been developed for use in the MATLAB* environment and includes implementations of the FS-1015 LPC-10e, the FS-1016 CELP, the ETSI GSM, the IS-54 VSELP, the G.721 ADPCM, the G.722 subband, and the G.728 LD-CELP speech coding algorithms, integrated under a common graphical interface.

The use of computers is ubiquitous in today's business communities, and is becoming so in education. However, this increased use has led to more problems for financially strapped educational institutions through the ever increasing demand for space and the continuous obsolescence of equipment. It is obviously time to think of student ownership as a means to meet demands for computer use, as casts of individual machines are falling below charges passed on by educational institutions. The paper presents a proposal for student ownership of laptop computers and networking through wireless communication as the environment of choice.

The teaching of undergraduate EE labs is constantly a concern for those who teach these labs. Several questions must annually be asked: 1) have we reached the point in the academic training of the undergraduates to eliminate the need to actually conduct hands-on lab experiments in favor of computer simulated experiences; 2) are we approaching more and more the opinion that hands-on is a technician's responsibility vs. "design" being the engineer's job? 3) is the better solution, a mixture of theory, software and hardware exposure? The intent of this presentation is to discuss the three questions given above and attempt to share some ideas on how question three might specifically be addressed using tools like the PC, IEEE-488 bus, PSpice and Labview.

The role of adjunct faculty in re-engineering engineering education is examined. The traditional functions of adjunct faculty are reformulated and augmented. The mutual benefits of the strategic relation between the adjunct faculty and the engineering school are outlined. Some suggestions are offered to enhance the relation to include areas such as university and society linkage, academic strategy development, role modeling, internship and technology transfer. The mission of adjunct faculty is thus redefined and expanded.

The telecommunications industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. Fueling this growth is the high degree of computational power made possible by advances in microelectronic fabrication and design. To contribute to this technology upon graduation our students must have the necessary background that includes digital and both baseband and high frequency analog design skills. This paper describes a senior sequence in digital and analog microsystem design that uses a unique mix of lecture, projects and laboratory measurements to address telecommunication microsystem technology. The course material emphasizes the design and operation of key components and subsystems of telecommunication systems.

In May, 1994, more than 100 participants from industry, government, and universities met in Denver, Colorado to discuss and debate the challenge of maintaining engineering vitality during times marked by rapid technology changes, corporate downsizing, defense spending cuts, and globalization. Recommendations from this workshop, named Industry 2000, have spawned a series of workshops and educational products. The paper reports on those workshops and products. A new tool, the Career Asset Manager (CAM), to support the continuing education of engineering professionals is described. Also, recommendations from two workshops held during the first half of 1996 are presented.

Based on the object-oriented perspective and the reuse-driven feature of algorithmic modules, a distance-learning service creation environment has been deployed. The conceptual model of the environment consists of four planes: the learning service feature plane, the global functional plane, the distributed functional plane and the physical plane. The first plane represents a service-oriented view to describe the learning service-related behaviour, the second plane represents a service-independent view realized by the learning service building block, the third plane represents a distributed model of the service network, and the last plane represents a physical model of the service network. The environment is a powerful tool that allows users to quickly create and customize distance-learning services under broadband networks without having to know all the detailed knowledge of the network infrastructure.

A collaboration between engineering educators in the US and Japan has been launched, focused on sharing information and strategies on the process of reform in the two countries. From the US side, most of the participants are active players in the NSF-sponsored Engineering Education Coalitions; from the Japan side, participants include faculty from both national universities and private universities, and representatives of government. The collaboration was initiated in July, 1995 with a bi-national workshop held at Semi-ah-moo, Washington. The second working meeting took place in November, 1995 in Osaka. Because of its central role in the process of change, evaluation methodologies have been a major focus of our effort, spanning evaluation of student learning, evaluation of teaching, and evaluation of reform at the institutional level. At our second working meeting in Osaka, several bi-national working groups were formed.

Current relationships between industry and the academy in shaping engineering education are enumerated and the issue is raised as to how tight the coupling between the two should be. The argument is made that current pressures on both, as well as the changing nature of the engineering profession, suggest that a tighter coupling would be desirable. To this end it is proposed that engineering schools enter into strategic partnerships with the major industrial employers of their graduates to implement engineering practice clinical programs. Such programs would enable engineering students to gain an appreciation for aspects of engineering practice that are less easily captured in on-campus settings. In addition to "building the breed" such programs can also aid in the establishment of mutually beneficial joint research programs and the exchange of technology.
