curriculum diverges. According to Chickering and Reisser,developing purpose involves moving from a status of unclear vocational goals to having clearand focused goals7. Although both our engineering and technology students have generallydeclared a major, the vast majority of them have many questions about their field and theopportunities that they might have if they complete their degree. Two important issues must beconsidered. One relates to the major itself. Questions students have often revolve aroundunderstanding their plan of study and what their courses mean, and what careers are available tothem and how might they best access them. The second issue, one that is important from aretention perspective, includes engaging and exciting students

financial aid issuesFinancial aid issues are important in a student’s college plan. Academic advisement mustconsider this aspect of a student’s academic career as well as academics. Some of our studentscomplete the 2-year laser technology program and then afterwards work a full-time job andattend night school. The night school program consists of pre-engineering courses such as morerigorous calculus and chemistry courses. The idea is that a degree in laser technology enables astudent to get a reasonable income after only two years of college. The laser technologyprogram contains some general science methods such as Fourier optics and laser gainmechanism. Exposure to these topics enables a student to understand the materials in a pre-engineering

This summary included tasks completed, time spent on tasks,surfacing issues and troubleshooting, and intended plans for the succeeding week. The secondmethod for progress evaluation incorporated a more neatly formatted compilation of teammembers’ progress through “bi-weekly reports.” Bi-weekly reports were used to examine overallteam progress in relation to the Gantt chart as opposed to just individual efforts. The third methodfollowed progress overviewed in bi-weekly reports in the form of formal progress presentations.This allowed the student teams to present overall progress of their products, discuss any issuesoccurring, and

They struggled to see the reason for backing up and starting off with articulating goals and outcomes. But when they started to see how the goals and outcomes guided their thinking and allowed them to better work together to coordinate the various courses and align student learning they seemed to really embrace the process.

the “corerelationship” of learning. When instructors and students come from different culturalbackgrounds, planned efforts to cross social borders and develop caring, respectful relationshipsare essential. From the very first day of school, teachers can set the tone by greeting students atthe door with a smile and a warm, welcoming comment. Greeting second language learners witha phrase in their native language can be especially affirming. Teachers can also forge positiverelationships with students by sharing stories about their lives outside of school, learning aboutstudents’ interests and activities, inviting them to make choices and decisions about classactivities, and listening to their concerns and opinions.In addition to establishing

These programs are kept outside the purview of university system.Often they are called Licentiate in Civil Engineering (LCE) or Licentiate in MechanicalEngineering (LME) or licentiate in other disciplines of engineering. A diploma course inengineering involves classes on fundamental engineering concepts. It is a professional course,planned in such a way that students may still take up jobs in the field of engineering once theyearn their diplomas. It can allow them to transfer into the second year of the B.Tech. or B.E.course. This, in effect, means the student may not have to take the eleventh and twelfth classexams. So
