The professor must place all of the files on aMaster CD, make multiple recordings for distribution, mail the CDs out to students before thebeginning of the semester, and typically provide training for students in how to access the files andin which order they should be accessed. Another problem exists when updates are made to thelecture.

In Computer Graphics Technology mastery of Linear Algebra is critical.A difficulty that many students encounter is the manner in which mathematics is taught at mostof the larger universities. At Universities such as Purdue, students go to large lectures of 400 to500 students. Lectures are usually supplemented by “recitation” sessions which have class sizesof 20-30 students.The

The first is acombined Bachelor of Science in an engineering discipline with a Master of BusinessAdministration program for high achieving students and the second is a Master of Engineeringprogram targeted to working professionals. For the combined Bachelors / MBA program,students often need to take a course while on a co-operative work assignment. Since many ofthese assignments are away from the university, a distance learning format is required. Likewisefor working professionals, a distance

In addition to undergraduatestudents, graduate students pursuing a Masters of Science, a Masters of Engineering, or aProfessional Masters degree occasionally enroll in the course. These graduate students generallymake up less than five percent of the class population.The class has experienced success both from an accreditation standpoint and from an industryviewpoint.

Multidisciplinary design projects were undertaken in the past, butonly a few each year were possible due to scheduling problems, faculty availability, and limitedfunds.The deployment of multidisciplinary design throughout the College curricula is a strategicobjective. The College’s undergraduate honors program employs the multidisciplinary designparadigm.

success. One such group is students who are diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disabilitythat results in challenges when learning to read. These students often determine very young thatthey are not as capable in learning as their peers because they struggle to master reading. Yet,many dyslexic students are also gifted, and some researchers believe that some dyslexic studentshave a unique capacity to visualize in three dimensions, which ironically contributes to thechallenge of mastering reading in two dimensions. The ability to reason in three dimensions is anadvantage when learning STEM. This advantage should be recognized, developed andencouraged because many of these students may have the potential to be future scientists andengineers.This

Briefly, the hypothesis that drives this work is this: Mentalgrowth constitutes a progression through a hierarchy of cognition; the critical thinking andjudgment required of engineers lies at an upper level in the hierarchy, and, to reach high levels,an individual must master cognitive skills and reorganize knowledge gained at lower levels. Our overarching goal is to develop higher-level thinking skills in chemical engineeringstudents before they reach their senior years. To reach that goal, we are applying the hierarchicalmental growth model of Egan3 as the basis for developing teaching and learning devices that areused
