, engineering, and technology graduates. Felder argues that iffaculty would employ teaching methods that address all the basic learning styles at least some ofthe time, that students would have more interest in the topics being discussed, and thereby gainbetter understanding.The Problem:As in many science and engineering courses, there are topics that must be introduced to thestudents before they can begin to understand the bigger picture. In an introductorymicroprocessor course one of these difficult topics is addressing modes. The author believed thatthe topic of addressing modes could be covered more efficiently, saving time for more advancedtopics later in the semester. The problem was that students were having a very difficult timeunderstanding

Inreformulating the fundamental criteria for engineering accreditation in terms of studentoutcomes, the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) replaced sets ofcourses passed with sets of learning outcomes achieved and assessed. In other words, programsseeking ABET accreditation must now demonstrate that their graduating students can function asbeginning professionals in eleven different areas of performance—not just pass courses. At leastfour of these new performance outcomes in Engineering Criteria (EC) 2000, Criterion 3,Program Outcomes and Assessment, can be achieved through civic service learning: 1. an

At the same time the combination of a retiring nuclear workforce withthe extension of nuclear plant operating licenses and the possibility of future plant constructionleaves the nuclear industry with a potential shortage of qualified applicants for vacant positions.

Thegoal of the method, derived from problem-based approaches, was to support students inprogramming a large-scale project that lasted the entire semester (similar in spirit withapproaches suggested in 2,3). It was obvious from the start that an independent site for the coursewould be needed to provide a posting and collaboration space centered around the project.
