conceptual discussions.Problem definitionTo overcome that deficiency, to improve teaching, and enhance learning of students, instructorshave over time developed novel and innovative concepts [7] that include, but are not limited, to: 1. Course projects Page 25.231.2 2. Software assignments 3. Journal reading and research 4. Online help, class handouts, and other ancillary materials.However, most of such efforts rely on instructor’s experience and his/ her desire and initiative toimprove teaching skills. Since many OR instructors are not familiar enough with the vastresources available in the area of student learning, they usually do not

, that bench-top lathes can be considered as viable alternatives totheir industrial sized cousins. Similarly, an analysis of the responses from faculty and industrysuggest that bench-top lathes are a viable alternative to larger industrial lathes. Bench-top lathes,because of their size, have limitations, such as reduced capacity and less rigidity, therebyrestricting the size materials that can be produced by these lathes. However, because of materialcosts, it may be more appropriate for students to work on smaller projects in educational settings.Finding ways to continue to educate students using effective pedagogical practices and preparingthem for various field of work may require some creative thinking in a time of fiscal

a lecture presentation taken for granted the remaining questions are about what chapters tocover, what should be assigned as homework and projects, and how students should be evaluatedand tested. The use of clickers should lead to more reflective choices by the professor on howmaterial should be covered. While this starts with what clicker questions to use, it can easilyexpand to how the material is discussed in the classroom and how the material is handled outsideof the classroom.An analogy can be made to a toolbox. The larger the set of tools you employ—the better you canchoose the best way to help students learn. Teaching goals should drive choices. Classroom timeis precious, and it should be used effectively—which usually means using
