This program is offered as a one-credit pass/fail course for students in theirfirst and second years in the College and has met with varying levels of success, as measured bystudent performance, feedback on student surveys, and faculty perceptions of their effectiveness.Approximately 100 AEW courses are offered throughout the academic year for mathematicscourses (pre-Calculus through Calculus III) and select engineering classes. Students register forAEWs that correspond to the particular mathematics and/or engineering course(s) in which theyare enrolled.

The 2000 National Research Council report16indicated that “[s]ixth graders in a suburban school who were given inquiry-based physicsinstruction were shown to do better on conceptual physics problems than eleventh and twelfthgrade physics students taught by conventional methods in the same school system." In spite ofthe potential advantages for student learning, there is a limited amount of research on the use ofinquiry-based learning in Statics and Dynamics.Despite advancements, widespread reform

After this first year, five of the partners agreed to provide a realisticengineering project for the students, to provide a project mentor for two semesters (we alsoprovide faculty mentor(s)), and monetary support for the projects, with sufficient overhead thatwe could sustain the program.

MechanicsAbstractA recurring problem for teachers of engineering mechanics is that many students sign up to starttheir courses when they are not quite ready for them. This situation of unreadiness may be due tolack of adequate preparation. At first, it is easy to want to ascribe the problem to lack of coverageof pertinent material in the prerequisite course(s). However, the more likely cause is an amazingamnesia that leaves the students with very few of the important concepts learned in theprerequisite courses that are needed for the mechanics course that they are about to start. Thisphenomenon is observed even among some of the best students who get top grades in theprerequisite courses by demonstrating mastery of the material, but then “draw a blank” when

presidentiste@gmail.com Abstract Technology has been changing very rapidly during the last few decades. Thisrapidity of change brings tremendous pressure on the educational system to identifywhat is basic and must be taught & learnt, and what needs to be imparted through selflearning or continuing education programs. The challenge for India is to build technicalskills into the mindboggling mass of working age professionals. It is clear therefore thatthe prospect of economic prosperity for India is critically predicated on the strengths ofIndia‟s technical education. Milton Freedman, a Nobel Prize winning economist observedthat, “the great untapped resource of technical and scientific knowledge available
