New study plans are not just a compressed version of the old plans. They represent a change in the content of the education provided. There are new goals for a university education.

students come to their colleges with different motivations, goals, plans, attitudes,and expectations. College study requires them to complete all their assignments to reach all thegoals with no requirement compromised. As a part of college study courses with computer labassignments usually provide instructors with a unique opportunity to motivate students to workhard to achieve their goals and to sustain their knowledge as well as to measure student learningoutcomes on this matter. Research finds it is still difficult to predict or measure how muchstudents are able to sustain their learning outcomes before their graduations. This research aimsto first ensure that all student lab activities and exercises are designed to not only for them

During the fall semester prior to the 2011 spring RSAPcourse, an assessment plan was identified to provide information that would inform futureprogram design. Following approval from the Institutional Review Board, current students andthe 2008 cohort of RSAP students were identified as the sample for this study. Among current students we wanted to examine how they developed the culturalcompetencies that we identified as important in a global engineering context. To do this we hadstudents engage in a writing activity. Students were assigned to answer a brief essay question atthe beginning of the semester and then were

At those times when the teacher feels that he/she is no longer in control andothers ( be it learners, colleagues, or superiors) are in charge of his/her plans, actions, anddestiny. It can be dangerous and humiliating for the teacher to feel that he/she is off track,particularly when others step in to define his/her roles, aims, and functions. It may also befrustrating to realize that he/she is devoting a lot of time and tremendous energies withlittle or no positive outcome. However, with an organizing vision, the teacher is lesslikely to suffer from these feelings of uncertainty. A clear sense of purpose helps theteacher to endure periods
