Studentresponse was favorable, and the faculty involved assessed the desiccant materials to be a usefuladdition to the course.In addition to the material developed for the curriculum module, future improvements for thedesiccant segment of the course will include a hands-on laboratory experience. An instrumentedtest cell for desiccant devices is currently being developed by the Global Center for DesiccantTechnology. This laboratory will be available for student use in connection with the airconditioning course.

CRITICAL THI KI G ISSUES- A TOOL FOR LEAR I G THE SUBJECT Robert M. Brooks, Amithraj Amavasai and Eric Francis-Wright Abstract The authors have been continuously fascinated by the role of Critical Thinking Issues in improving students’ learning. Critical Thinking Issues have been well recognized as a valuable tool for the assessment of educational objectives. In the Fall06 semester, Critical Thinking Issues were used as a tool for learning the subject in an environmental science course, ENVT C010. This course is a required course in the ABET accredited Engineering Technology program at Temple University. There were 16 Critical Thinking Issues in
