positive impact on their learning practices.The instructor himself learned many things from this new approach, and that has its pronouncedand constructive influence on his teaching abilities and skills. All of this enhanced theeducation process in this particular course. This approach seems to be useful in otherengineering undergraduate courses as well. Instructors at other institutes are encouraged to trythis new method of teaching, but they have to be careful with its limitations and constraints. References1.

Final Team Project 500garnered in the laboratory setting where students work Tests and Final Exam 900individually on engineering and computers graphics Total 3180exercises, and take their tests. However, the large lectureallocates 1000 points for assignments and for a final team project, which is also assigned andmonitored in the large lecture. The rest of this paper focuses on the one-hour common largelecture, where the promoting of the UT-ME outcomes is most evident.

their attitudes on ethical issues.From students’ own discussions and from Goulet’s experience, it appears that studentattitudes and perceptions can be favorably impacted by clearly and forcefully settingstandards of appropriate behavior and by integrating ethical and legal decision-makinginto the curriculum. In that manner, ethical behavior is something that is done, rather thanstudied. Wankat and Oreovicz have proposed strategies for instilling honest behavior inengineering students by stressing (as did Goulet) the Engineering Code of Ethics; byreducing anxiety that might foster unethical behavior; by faculty always being a presencein the classroom and laboratory; and by structuring engineering education in such waysthat unethical behavior is

Depth of training required for instructors and teaching assistants on key issues.The first five factors can be categorized as content issues while the remaining four factors fallunder administrative issues. Some factors, such as 6 and 7, are related to both content andadministrative issues. As an example, factor 7 includes issues dealing with additional facilities,such as machine shops and separate laboratory classes. This point is crucial here at Texas A&MUniversity since there are around 1,200 freshmen and it is almost

students designcapability. Before graduation the student is required to have an equivalent of at least threemonths of field work in their area of study. The three month full-time experience is calledinternship and is mandatory for graduation.Student Choice with Professor ConsentIn the one credit-hour lab associated with a class, the students are usually allowed to selecttheir own lab partner. The laboratories are usually conducted with two-person teams. Thelab experiments are relatively simple, open-ended projects related to the associated class.The students research the scope of the project, design a prototype device, and constructthe prototype device. The prototype device is demonstrated and compared to the students’design specifications for the
