most classes and made the course exceptional. Getting to road trip up Hwy 101 with classmates and knowledgeable professors during beautiful weather was an experience I will not forget. I have a much greater appreciation for the history of Oregon bridges that really can't be conveyed in a typical classroom setting. In that sense, the idea of the class REALLY works.Table 2. Student responses regarding areas for improvement. Please identify area(s) where you think the course could be improved. I think the class could improve with more technical learning in the field. Dr. Riley used a model of an arch in the classroom portion to demonstrate the concept of horizontal thrust, and I think this type of demonstration in the field would help students

it’s something that requires a lot more, it’s just because maybe it requires a lot more time, it just, it’s a, it, you know, it becomes a bigger part of you than a major might for a non-engineering person.

And they are, they have a lot of work to do they, I-, s-, [inaudible] myself and my roommate, like I’m a engineering student this last semester, this semester, and she’s a, a communications major, and she, I never see her do any work. And she’ll always ask me, “Why you have so much work to do?” She always see me, uh, do homework, sitting at the computer, and I always see her on the phone

ItSubmitted to 2007 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition (New Engineering Educators Division), June 24-27, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.is a common practice for the faculty in the US, to mention the text book page numbers thathave been covered for a specific class. Course end student evaluation: Course end student evaluation is also a part ofinternal quality assurance measures in the UK. These evaluation outcomes are notconsidered that seriously to assess the teaching quality. However, in the US, in theabsence of any other continuous monitoring mechanisms, student evaluation is a majorfactor towards measuring one’s teaching quality. Sometimes, these evaluations areidentified as one of the reasons for grade

!Nevertheless, this study shows that the essentials are nearly identical between the two institutions Page 13.313.15so neither of them has decided to substantially eliminate material from the shorter (3 hour)course.Simply going faster is clearly a bad idea; after all, the objective is learning, not teaching. An“expert” might be able to cover all of the essentials in a single lecture, especially if s/he hasauctioneer’s training, but this would not facilitate learning. There are, however, ways to gofaster while not significantly affecting student learning, as described below under“Recommendations”.Shifting the burden to the students should be considered

is a coherent rigorous verbal framework specifying aconcept. A discussion of the conflicts between the infinities of everyday experience and formalinfinities based on axioms can be found in reference 12.The interesting conversations13 of a knowledgeable father with his six-year old son, Nic, providean insight on how a child's intuition builds an image of the concept of infinity. In the beginningof the conversations Nic imagines infinity as a very huge number, much bigger than 10, biggerthan a million, probably bigger than a "googol" (1 followed by a hundred 0's). Nic's infinity canbe operated on like any other number in arithmetic ("infinity" + "infinity" = "two infinity", andthere is "half infinity" as well). Nic also invents a number

The fuel efficiency is defined here as net power divided by the energy content of thefuel supplied. Using the mass of air (m) and specific work per cycle (w) computed above, the lower heating value ofthe fuel (LHV) and the air fuel ratio (AFmass) from the combustion calculation, the efficiency is given as ηfuel = (mairℜw)/(mfuelℜLHV) = (AFmass w)/(LHV)6.
