The developmentwork for the I2I course is the subject of this paper. The authors are the principal investigator andco-principal investigators for the CCLI project.Development of the I2I CourseThe first step taken by the authors in developing the course was to formulate learning objectives.Specifically, the objectives of the course are that after successfully completing the class, studentscan: • Describe five subdiscipline areas of civil and

questions by the student.Another factor to consider is your needed availability may vary during the semester. When thedue date for a project is approaching, or when a test is near, students will often be seeking moreassistance. In those cases, you should try to increase your availability, and let the students knowthat you will be available at additional times.2. Be Organized in Your Lectures and Course MaterialsWhen a teacher is not devoting adequate time to a course, often the first thing to suffer is theorganization of the lecture material. This is something that can show up in many ways. Ateacher who is teaching a course for the first or second time and is working on developing lecturenotes may run out of time and find that he or she is heading

’ knowledge of information literacy and ethics was evaluated by the analysisof pretest and post test scores.Introduction Information literacy and ethics is a set of abilities requiring individuals to findinformation effectively, and use information ethically. The abilities to locate and use informationproperly are crucial for engineering students to complete their coursework, to perform their jobsin engineering, and to become successful lifelong learners. First of all, engineering students needthe information literacy skills to conduct literature review for course projects, senior designs, andtheses. Second, it is impossible for engineering students to get all solutions to engineeringproblems from their coursework. Instead, students must be

IntroductionThe objective is to develop a system that emulates a wind turbine. Previous efforts in thisdirection have employed separately excited DC machines1,2 with power ratings in the multiplehorsepower range. The intended application of the system described in this paper is forundergraduate laboratory courses. Thus, a system that works at lower voltages is desired.Existing laboratory equipment such as DC

. However, after Brain Korea 21 Project (1999~2005), at themany research based institutions, the focus of evaluation has become to move fromundergraduate education to research. Most professors in Korean engineering colleges have beenmainly concerned about research productivity, while showing indifference to the quality ofteaching because they were largely evaluated on publications in SCI-rated research journals inorder to be successful in tenure or promotion. If a professor's research performance is competent,students’ poor rating won't be an issue. The faculty evaluation of teaching has not beenconsidered as important as research. Moreover, it used only rating scale of number of lecture andstudents’ course evaluations using quantitative assessment
