For example, thisauthor recently did a series of presentations on Fluid Power. Because it was going to involve agreat deal of circuitry, a great deal of time was spent looking around for a template ofcomponents (clip art) for fluid power. Little was found and that was very expensive. As analternative then, the project began by creating a PowerPoint slide show of components-only andstudents were used to create the components individually on the slides of that file, using thePowerPoint graphics package.

For instance, on several occasions cadets failed to copy down routinehomework assignments in the Fluid Mechanics course even though the assignments were clearlyand predictably posted on a side chalkboard in the classroom. The Computer Aided Designcourse assigned all homework and projects via the website and students never questionedwhether or not an assignment was due; they just logged on, clicked the assignments link andknew exactly what was due.

There is abundant literaturesupporting what has been described as outcomes-based or competency-based education since the1970’s,8–19 including research projects involving engineering courses.20–26Indeed, there has been a shift in education in recent decades from an emphasis on teaching to anemphasis on learning. The most common teaching model is based on the idea that “teaching istelling” and usually uses an expository or transmission method where lecture is used to presentmaterial described by course objectives. While there is some variation on lecture methods, what isimportant here is that the required course material is

In this pilot project, researchers from RowanUniversity’s College of Engineering and College of Education who were interested in exploringDEIJ implementation in the classroom in a cross-collaborative manner explored the followingresearch questions: (1) What level of relevance do faculty members place on DEIJ as part oftheir degree program curriculum? and (2) How do faculty members’ conceptions of DEIJcompare across disciplines?There is scant literature on faculty members' conceptions of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, andJustice

She discusses a crystallography lecture, in which areal world object (crystal) is represented three ways: the actual object, a threedimensional sketch, and a diagram derived from a mathematical representation. Theresponse from one student indicates translational difficulties: “There are so many ways of describing one crystal, it seems illogical.
