Each student on the team is responsible for one of the technicalareas of their project. During the laboratory sessions, the students must work together with thedifferent civil engineering disciplines on their team as well as meeting with the

The role of one’s community on the individual’ssuccess is discussed further as well.Lecture 6: Teaching with ConstraintsIn this activity, students put into groups and asked to design a typical lab lesson. They are told thatthey have access to a standard laboratory classroom, will have a diverse class among manydimensions stressing that there will be students of varying familiarity with the material, ethnicitiesand socio-economic backgrounds. They are told that the materials for their lab cost about $300and to plan accordingly. After the initial lesson is designed, each group is given

opportunities education majors have to practicediscourse development prior to their student teaching practicum. Discourse simulation activitiesat universities prior to student teaching and internships are often insufficient to prepare teachersfor engaging in discourse with students throughout an entire school day.Traditional Methods of Discourse DevelopmentTraditionally, discourse development begins with pre-service teachers’ own understanding ofmath and science based upon how they were taught when they were first learning the material.Most education programs require pre-service teachers to take at least one laboratory-basedscience course and to complete mathematics courses. Once the students have a foundation inmath and science, they then take courses

This framework was developed as part of a Teaching Innovation Grant to propose a cost-effective and innovative instructional frameworks to engage and stimulate students. Desktop-basedvirtual reality presents a 3-dimensional (3D) world using the display of a standard desktop computeravailable in most of the PC labs on campus. This is a required course at this university that has studentsnot only from the primary department, but from other colleges/departments as well.
