Thailand enjoyed a rapidlyexpanding economy during the early 1990’s. Heavy national and international investment ininfrastructure and commercial enterprise led to a

designed specifically to prepare engineering students toteach, and can be used to fulfill degree requirements for the Fellows. The course includes a 10-hour/week practicum, where the Fellows worked with master teachers in elementary-levelProfessional Development Schools. In this way the Fellows improved their understanding ofteaching and learning, and enhance science education by implementing hands-on activities anddesign challenges that are aligned with state science standards. During their second semester,each trained and experienced Fellow has moved to a different elementary school - a school thathas historically not benefited from a close relationship with the university. All of the schools arelocated in the urban and suburban areas of

They then used much more detailed data supplied by the instructor to construct a master curve and apply it to solve a practical problem in long term storage of a package. Processing of polymers - Using bench scale equipment, sudents extrusion-blow-mold a small polyethylene bottle and injection mold a screw cap to fit. They learn to measure Melt Index and relate it to molecular weight. They make blown polyethylene film and learn how difficult it is to stabilize the bubble to get uniform film.Collaborative Learning in Teams Collaborative (sometimes referred to as cooperative) learning is defined as "a

A limited number of examinations are held at the end of the semester based onlectures that the students attend while they are on campus.Lave and Wenger (2000) challenge the nature of the apprenticeships, the relationships betweenthe master, the apprentice and knowledge. They characterize the process by which learning takesplace as "legitimate peripheral participation". They locate knowledge in the midst ofparticipation, the learning curricula and communities of practice. The learning curriculum iscomposed of the "situated opportunities for the improvisational development of new practice - aset of learning resource in everyday practice viewed from the

In the secondclass, effects and animation, along with use of speaker notes and rehearsal will be discussed. Inthe third class, students need to present a construction topic by using Power Point.Databases will cover introduction of relational databases, how to create tables and forms, singleand multiple table queries, creating and printing of reports. In this section a team project is givento develop a database of subcontractors (about 100) using form.

This also applies to universities. The demand for design engineers ableto master these tools will grow in the near future. Furthermore, due to design-project complexity,it is often impossible to finalize the dimensioning of the various elements or
fourteen question, multiple-choice, 50-minute test has been designed to measure thecumulative knowledge of each student. This examination is administered near the end of thecourse as a not-for-credit examination in an attempt to measure a student’s knowledge basewithout significant examination preparation. We are attempting to measure the knowledge thatwill likely be retained rather than knowledge mastered for the examination and then forgotten.Incentives such as dropping homework scores and suggesting student use this to prepare for thefinal examination are used to get student to take the examination. We plan to use the sameexamination instrument throughout the duration of the project to get a consistent measure of thecumulative knowledge gain

dimensions ranging fromseveral tens to hundreds of microns and utilize extremely small quantities of liquid, as small as onenanoliter.Poly(dimethylsiloxane), also known as PDMS, is one of the most used materials to create microfluidicdevices due to its processability through soft lithography (molding). PDMS offers various advantages,including optical transparency, biocompatibility, and the ability to create micron-resolution features2. Soft lithography is the technique used to create devices with PDMS. To make PDMS-basedmicrofluidic devices, a master mold of the desired device is created. The mold is employed to producespecific features by casting PDMS onto it and then bonding it to another PDMS slab or a glass slideto complete the device. Some
similar to more traditional engineering design and problem-solving methods, emphasizing functional components and emulating those to biology6. Students learnthis framework and master it. In this mastery, the first building block was analyzed using examplesgiven in class. From this point, students can reverse engineer bioinspired designs and solutions. Bythe end of the semester, he saw designs from students' projects that went beyond emulating solutionsfrom previous examples to original, creative, bioinspired solutions. In this process, he observed fromclass discussions and student conversations an understanding of the value of thinking beyondengineering and exploring other fields, particularly biology, for inspiration
