the type ofquestions they may include is a simple consequence. In other cases suitable assessment toolscould be selected if the required level of learning necessitates their usage. Course learningobjectives could be considered as the elements of a contract between the faculty and thestudents. The faculty has to specify for each topic in the course what he wants the students todo in order to demonstrate that they mastered this topic.The faculty can easily write suitable learning objectives to address each topic by consideringthe target level of learning. The idea of the faculty-student contract implies that if a learningobjective defines a certain level of learning, the faculty could not use an assessment tool thataddresses a higher level.2.4

individuals will makedifferent judgments on a given issue at different stages of moral development; these stages aremeasurable and proceed through six levels. Solymossy and Masters report that these levels canbe attained by educational means.Cognitive Moral Development (CMD) is formed, in part, from opportunities for role taking andparticipation in decision making. When the context of a decision requires behavior that isinconsistent with an individual’s values or beliefs, the resulting cognitive dissonance creates adesire for change….When an individual’s behaviors are inconsistent with his or her own beliefs,the individual may change the behavior, the situation, the cognition or the beliefs.

Yetit has fewer economic and mathematical constraints on it than does structural form.Especially in today’s design world of sophisticated finite element analyses, architecturalform has greater latitude, it swings between sculptural form and structural form, withmixed results as evidenced by the aforementioned critiques.Structural form has the greatest amount of constraints imposed on it, and consequentlythe least amount of freedom. Structural engineers who create structural form areprimarily concerned with safety, economy and constructability of the form. These arequantitative concerns that can be measured and optimized.

thermodynamic calculations. As background, a number of papers are discussed here.Balmer and Spallholz5 assert that the teaching of engineering thermodynamics hasn’t changedsignificantly in many years, while it continues to be a baffling subject for many students.Confusion stems from two primary areas: (1) definitions and terms which are unique tothermodynamics and have specific meanings and (2) the continued reliance on property tables. Itis proposed that active learning techniques be used to master the language with emphasis on theetymology of words. For example, adiabatic is derived from the Greek word adiabatos, meaning“not to be passed through.” Difficult words include: isothermal, isochoric, isobaric, isenthalpic,isentropic, polytropic, enthalpy
