the topic associated with the project to propose their own design, which promotes active learning • Students work on a Technical Report instead of a lab report to satisfy the “Write clear and well-documented laboratory reports” learning outcome stated in the syllabus of two lab courses. This helps students to write a report with an engineering mindset instead of a student mindset.The ApproachThe Engineering Project Development through Sequence of Courses approach divides thedevelopment of a Senior Design Project or Capstone Project into small projects to be developedin previous laboratory courses of the curriculum. The approach starts with the conception of aproduct for a specific application by the

domains.IntroductionConcept maps, as facilitative tools for learning, was developed by Novak and others in the late1970s [1]. The idea was to represent ‘knowledge domains’ in a visual, logical sequence with anemphasis on the relationship between the various elements or ‘concepts.’ At the very least,concept maps help to organize the contents of a knowledge domain. At its best use, concept mapshelp students recollect prior knowledge, link the various courses in liberal arts, science and math,engineering, and economics and summarize their learning. A list-based syllabus does not connectthe previous knowledge to the one pursued in the current course. The syllabus also does notenlighten the student about the holistic nature of transdisciplinary education in the

Manufacturing Technology. They aim to cultivate students’ ability ofengineering application to meet the demands of domestic manufacture industry. Moreover,with the MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) sprung up rapidly in China, a teaching teamin Tianjin University reconstructed the engineering graphics course by forming a completeknowledge hierarchy, carrying out the flipped classroom teaching with a student-centeredapproach, and adopting multi-dimensional assessment method [7].There are many other instances of these educational reforms in undergraduate engineeringeducation. However, most of them are implemented into a single course, which meansstudents are supposed to complete the transition from theory to practice in a very short periodof time, usually

like to take notes on an iPad because I don't have to carry around notebooks and easier to look through old notes. I was taking a math course. One day I was running late and forgot to bring my notebook for that class which eventually led me to taking notes on my iPad. The professor at the time was so anti-electronics in class that they did not believe I was taking notes on my iPad. Even after showing them I indeed was taking notes for that class, they told me to put it up and ask someone for a piece of paper and pencil. I don’t understand how you are going to tell a student how to take their notes in college. Many professors have a no electronics policy in their syllabus. I understand how
