An alternative approach is aninductive method, presenting existing data, a case study, or a quick problem to solve that couldpotentially summarize a general theory. Prince and Felder [1] summarize a number of theseinductive methods available for use by instructors, including inquiry learning, problem-basedlearning, project-based learning, case-based teaching, discovery learning, and just-in-timeteaching, all of which are considered to be active learning techniques and learner-centered [2].Active learning is defined as an instructional method that engages students in the learningprocess, using meaningful learning activities that require a deeper thought process [3], in whichstudents take ownership

In Years 2 and 3, engineering studentsneed to master ‘genre-oriented composition’; in other words, they need to be able to matchthe expectations for diverse, yet specific, writing types: cover letters, laboratory reports,design reports, engineering drawings, and oral presentations. In Years 3 and 4, engineeringstudents, to varying degrees, need to focus more on reader-oriented composition andrecognise the

The University Curriculum Committee approved the request to change thecontact hours for Structural Analysis from 3 hours of lecture per week to 2 hours of lecture plus2 hours of laboratory per week to accommodate the experiential aspects of these proposedchanges. After assessing the changes to the Structural Analysis course, we will decide whether tomake similar changes in the class meeting times for the Structural Design courses.The Structural Analysis course syllabus lists the following broad goals for the course: a) Students will develop technical skills in classical methods for analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures. b) Students will gain proficiency in analysis structures comprised of trusses, beams, frames

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5. Engineering education is often based on precedent; it is slow to accept change, especially relative to liberal arts
