what you were taught. Go through the book, e.g., a chapter a week. Go through a list of topics, e.g., a topic a week.Ideally, course content is determined by planning the program’s curriculum so that the content ofeach course plays its part in achieving the program’s educational objectives [5], [6], [7]. This isunlikely to translate to any of the above bullets. Neither academic freedom nor faculty purviewimplies that the faculty member can teach whatever they want to [8], [9]. See Figure 1. In a well-functioning department, e.g., fully accredited with complete ABET approved syllabi, the newfaculty member should be able to focus on interpreting the bases of each pyramid in Figures 1and 2. In an imperfect scenario, e.g., the faculty

early on for the post-changes cases and that could also have contributed to the drop in the results. f) Scientific integrity and depth of analysis: An increase of 7% is observed for this criteria. This dealt with how sound and complex the scientific analysis of the paper was. Keeping in mind that while the data is fake or obtained from external sources, the analysis of the results should still be comprehensive. The students were told to be smart about their results and to anticipate what these results could be so as to effectively discuss them. While it might seem odd to be discussing results that were never really obtained, here again the focus is on the interpretation of

,characterized stage two. Stage three: the stage of pondering and deliberations,which has lingered on for a long time, is characterized by calls from industries,engineering graduates, and invited experts, for more rounded engineers with the skillsand abilities to function in a modern business climate. Unfortunately, the response tothese calls has been slow. The “piece meal” approach and/or periodic adjustments toan already over-burdened curriculum, in an attempt to meet a broad set of demands,have not been effective in meeting objectives, and have convinced many stakeholdersthat the time has come for a radical departure from the traditional layered andsequential structure that has prevailed for decades. There are clearly significantchallenges ahead

classes and a job or family orboth. Most of our education system is not built to cater to their needs, and its results areextremely wasteful –30% failure rate year in and year out in fundamental engineering coursescannot simply be tolerated as an unfortunate reality. Active learning should no longer be anoption –it must be treated as the key ingredient in attempting to start solving this failurecatastrophe. The frame of active learning should contain many interactive elements, includingweekly lectures, in-class activities, online activities71, and hands-on lab exercises –all doneduring the 75-minute class time in each lecture, thus not changing any curriculum structure.Each element of the new paradigm is described below –mechanics of materials
