In geomorphology, the topics include the interaction of the lithospherewith the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere and the landforms that result from thoseinteractions. Throughout the course, the activities deliberately focus on the engineering aspectsor applications of geology.Tip 2.

Introduction PhD students in an engineering major are in general expected to devote the majority oftheir time to research. For a few semesters during the PhD program, they may be funded asgraduate teaching assistants for an undergraduate course taught by a faculty member.Responsibilities of a graduate teaching assistant typically include grading, holding office hours,leading labs and help sessions, and substitute-lecturing when the faculty member has otherengagements.

Consistent with thevision of introducing changemaking themes in required classes in the majors, the initial plan wasto do this in several ways including:  Introducing some lecture topics in the context of changemaking  Rewriting some homework problems to include themes related to changemaking  Create two new cases with social justice, humanitarian, or sustainability foundationsIn the end, these goals proved to be overambitious. The first goal was met with modest success,but the last goals proved too difficult for reasons that will be discussed below

Learning, by Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel6, has recently made this ideapopular as a guide in improving both teaching and learning practices. There are many tactics forshattering this illusion and enabling more permanent learning, many of which can be summed upby the three “big ideas” put forth by Make It Stick: 1. Learning works by getting it out, not getting it in. 2. Difficulty is desirable. 3. A growth mindset motivates.In this paper, an engineering course is examined for symptoms of illusions of learning, andimprovements to the curriculum and teaching methods are incorporated and reviewed. Thecourse of interest is MFG 480: Manufacturing Process Planning and System Design, a 3-creditengineering course for seniors that has been taught for

Thus, there is a need totailor the way in which the LSM content is delivered to ensure that not only is the contentcoverage adequate and timely but also that the students are being better trained in the higherlevel skills of learning.
