Claire has been involved in many projects to support research and teaching for the engineeringdepartments at the University of Queensland. She created a web-based instructional course, using WebCT for allfirst year engineering students. The evaluation of these classes within an action research framework was a focus ofher study towards a Master of Information Technology. In 1999, Claire was awarded the Peake Prize 1999 for herpaper outlining practical applications of information technology for libraries and kindred institutions

logical and functional classification of reports has been developed.The classification forms a natural and systematic hierarchy of reports that has at least twodesirable features. One feature is functional. The principal types of reports conform well to theneeds of a typical undergraduate curriculum and to professional practice. The other feature isinstructional. By following the hierarchy, students will encounter more sophisticated challengesat every level. As these challenges are mastered, the students naturally improve their capacity toplan and compose technical reports at the next level. An unexpected byproduct of thisclassification exercise was an improved perspective on how to teach technical writing. Three basic types of reports

turn students into virtuous practitioners. Gioia, in his discussion of the Ford Pinto case, makes the distinction between ethical decisions, which accord with accepted professional standards and codes of ethics and moral decisions, which stem from a higher conviction about what is 'right' (Gioia, 1992). Note that this higher conviction can only emerge after students have mastered ethical decision-making. The key final step here is to grasp the spirit of the codes and be able to apply them to new situations for which they were not specifically designed. Moral imagination is a crucial part of this process.Moral imagination is more than just a skill--it requires students to be able to switch frames

is often helpful to start introducing them to design by allowing them to investigate, indetail, existing products. These hands-on projects let students use their experience and intuitionto study something that has already been developed as a result of the engineering design process.It is this design process that students need to master as part of their preparation for an engineer-ing career.The reverse engineering process includes a step by step dissection of an existing product’s as-semblies and components to learn about the design. In order to access components housed in theinterior of the product, product dissection is required. Students are provided the product and anynecessary tools to take the product apart.

Holders of science degrees would undertake 2-year existing diploma courses combined with a major engineering project, though some universities will accept science graduates into their Masters program in engineering which further emphasizes the science narrative and eschew the practicality of knowledge how.4.

In a comprehensive set of studies that examined student behaviors inapproaching difficult problems to be solved,16 students demonstrated markedly differentstrategies: some relished the challenges, even
