Typically, the Masters students, asexpected, receive more guidance than the Doctoral students and have less responsibility.Prior to teaching in the department, the graduate students are paired with a mentor who has theprimary responsibility for the basic course material, class projects, exam

In the Paul-Elder model, criticalthinkers apply the intellectual standards to the elements of reasoning in order to developintellectual traits (Figure 2). There are two essential dimensions of thinking that studentsneed to master in order to learn how to upgrade their thinking. They need to be able toidentify the component parts of their thinking, and they need to be able to assess their useof these parts of thinking. These two essential dimensions, in concert with the intellectualstandards, elements of thought and intellectual traits, can be organized

The pros and Cons of this approach are followings.Pros: Good students can learn, understand and master more knowledge and skills for mechanicalelement design through conducting design project;Cons: Student might not have solid theoretical understanding because design project might justuse portions of design theory; students might be overburdened by learning and exploringmachine element design by

This style of grading workswell for engineering graphics courses because the generation of engineering graphics is a skillthat develops and is retained through repeated practice. By requiring students to practice a skilluntil it is mastered, the amount that each student will learn and retain should increase.
