how people learn. Making Learning Whole3 is an example of aninstructional framework that integrates many of the latest findings on how people learn, andproposes seven principles on how to design an individual or set of learning experiences in waysthat facilitate comprehensive learning in a variety of course designs. Perkins describes his approach as learning by wholes and uses a sports metaphor toexpound on the following seven principles: 1) Play the Whole Game; 2) Make the Game WorthPlaying; 3) Work on the Hard Parts; 4) Play Out of Town; 5) Uncover the Hidden Game; 6)Learn From the Team; and 7) Learn the Game of Learning. Each of these will be described inlayman’s terms. “Play the Whole Game” speaks to the need to design

Some membersalso recommended the minor in Occupational Safety since safety is integral to the constructionprocess.

Students want an integratededucation with a strong experiential component.Industry recruits students with skills such as the ability to communicate effectively (verballyand written), to work in multidisciplinary teams, to have an entrepreneurial spirit, and witheffective decision-making skills. The graduates should be aware of their cultural, social andeconomical environments (i.e. culture, language, diversity, art, etc.). Industry has stated thatmany engineering and business curriculums do not answer students' needs. The graduate shouldhave a clear understanding of the need to be flexible when working with business

Similarly, one wouldhave to be willful to miss an equally steady drumbeat of calls for improved ethics in engineeringand computer science education.However, one can make the argument that simply offering new or more content related to ethicsin engineering education is not enough. With an eye on engineering a response to these issues,we propose that systemic changes are warranted including who presents and guides ethicscontent, how students are brought face-to-face with ethics and how ethics content is threadedinto a curriculum, and how the real and existential outcomes of engineering decisions areassessed both in design stages and in professional applications.This case study report describes efforts to introduce ethics

Seventypercent of the participants qualified for Title I remediation and the school ranked in thetop 12% of the bottom tier in the district-wide standardized test. The poor scores wereattributed to the students’ inability to decode the test questions and lack of context in theexisting science curriculum.Integrating language and graphic arts into the science curriculum is critical to helping thestudents learn how to effectively organize, synthesize, and communicate knowledge.

The triggeringphase is when a student is first prompted to action; they read a topic they are required to respondto and they post their initial reactions to the topic. The exploration phase is when a student isprompted to explore the topic further by the responses they read that other students wrote in thetriggering phase.
