, component, or process to meet desired needs within realisticconstraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability and sustainability), there are some activities that the students can do fromfreshmen to senior. A more self-directed and self-determined approach is needed, in whichstudents reflect on what is learned and how to learn, and in which educators teach studentshow to learn for themselves 6,7 .A suitable learning environment facilitates the development of skills in the students andtheir ability to learn8,9 . The role played by the laboratory practices is vital to the training ofengineering professionals and the development of their professional skills. Theimplementation of new laboratory

processes, polymerprocesses, solid state deformation processes, advanced manufacturing processes, andmanufacturing process costing.There are two full time technicians for the manufacturing lab, who help prepare the teachingassistants, teaching interns, and the faculty member, to the layout and use of machines in themanufacturing lab, if necessary. The technicians also help from time to time with the instructionportion of the labs. Typically, the technicians mainly train the teaching assistants or teachinginterns in the laboratory; so that they can be the primary teachers during the laboratory period.For this particular course, this course instructor is heavily involved with the technicians intraining the teaching assistants and/or teaching interns

Is Flat, refers "to a twenty-first centuryworld that will be very different from the one in which we were educated. To survive in a new,globally competitive world, today's children will need creativity, problem-solving abilities, apassion for learning, a dedicated work ethic and lifelong learning opportunities. Students candevelop these abilities through instruction based on Best Practice teaching strategies." [2].Best practice in graduate instruction focuses on dependable collaborations between graduateunderstudies and workforce, underpinned by staff [3]. Best practices are not always the bestdepending on timing and locations. According to DiBella (2001), "a practice that is valued in onesetting will be valued differently in another setting

targeted? This was especially true whenjustifying our faculty requirements to administration, as well as looking for specific sub-discipline expertise, for future hirings. What would be the needs and requirements for the facultyincluding, teaching materials, classroom and other facility requirements, laboratories, librarysupport, and time to develop the curriculum. We developed a number of alternative curricula.Most of them satisfied the previously identified needs and requirements.Preliminary DesignIn the preliminary design phase, we first identified evaluation criteria for our alternativecurricula. We considered a number of constraints including number of faculty required, facultyteaching responsibilities, budgetary issues, course contents
