A curriculum is a generally recognized set ofknowledge and skills, often represented as a large set of topics organized around themes into alogical sequence of courses. A primary student motivation is to be certified as havingsufficiently mastered the knowledge and skill set of a curriculum, showing the importance of thestructure provided by grades and assessments in courses.In university education, students are expected to grow and develop in their cognitive abilities.However

Learning activities are the instructionaltechniques and activities that are use to help the students master a certain topic or skill. Commonlearning activities include readings, lectures, discussions, demonstrations, active learningexercises, homework exercises, and even projects for which sufficient formative feedback isgiven. Pedagogical research has shown that mastery learning techniques that use lots

These areas were basic skills, thematicconcepts, and problems solving strategies and design. Participating faculty members metregularly on a weekly basis to map and to assemble course topics and to plan the deliverystrategies. Weekly integrated syllabi were prepared, which were revised regularly and changedwhen necessary. In addition, instructors normally visited each other’s classes.

With encouragement from both the college president and its chiefacademic officer the development office had begun to investigate the idea of applying for a Centerof Excellence ATE grant that would complement the college’s master plan for workforcedevelopment. With several Centers already in existence, the focus of the proposal had become anissue. It was determined that the initial Center of Excellence proposal would be somewhat broad,encompassing emerging technologies and manufacturing, mirroring the idea of the technologypark.

(Cognitive tools are mental devices that have been developed by ourancestors to help them make sense of the world and to operate more effectively in it.)
