instructorsadded to laboratory sections as needed. Around ten years ago, it was decided to split the coursein two, with half being oriented to mechanical engineering and the other half to electricalengineering. This made sense since the Department of Engineering offered majors inmechanical, electrical and computer engineering, and student surveys indicated a desire for anelectrical component in the course. In recent years, the single Department has been divided intoa Department of Mechanical Engineering and a Department of Electrical and ComputerEngineering. Therefore, it was decided to team teach the course using instructors from the Page

course dealing with Portland cement included both traditional classroominstruction as well as the laboratory experiences presented in this paper. The subset of theCourse Learning Outcomes regarding Portland cement is rather well developed and dealsparticularly with understanding the nature and application of Portland cement; it includes thefollowing: 1. Appreciate the historical development of concrete and its current physical composition. 2. Understand the basic steps in producing Portland cement. (Refer to www.cement.org/basics/images/flashtour.html for audio-visual presentation.) 3. Understand the process of hydration and its critical role in achieving compressive strength. 4
