Engineers?MIT's first Dean for Undergraduate Education, the late Margaret MacVicar, once noted [1] thatthe challenge for educators with respect to integration of engineering, humanities and socialsciences is to bring about: “...a true educational partnership among the technical, arts, social andhumanistic disciplines so that on some level students see the interrelationships between scienceand technology on the one hand, and societal, political, and ethical forces on the other.”One approach to exploring such interrelationships is through the STS courses and programs thathave sprung up over the past quarter century. Indeed, the critical reflection on the interactionsamong engineering, humanities and social sciences typically found in successful STS

exchangeTIME-ON-TASKHow do you help students spend time productively on the learning task? Some guides to keepingstudents on the target and on the task:At the beginning of the task • Rationalize the task and tell students. • Have clear, unambiguous, observable goals. • Tell the goals to the students. • Explain the route ahead. • Use transparencies or written material to enrich instructions. • Ask :Everyone clear on the task?" before starting. • Identify the allowed time (use "30 seconds" instead of "1/2 minute").During the task • Monitor the time, ask "Everyone completed?" or "20 seconds more?" • Use and display a timer, or use a bell not a buzzer.After the task is completed • Always close with reflection, "What have you

We chose this course to serve as thefoundation for an experiment in adapting the communications curriculum to the new needsof engineering organizations.The Engineering Career Orientation Project (ECOP), required of all students in ourexperimental sections, is based on the Research Interview Project (RIP), in which TCC 101students

In order to remedy the problem of high FWD rates, many collegesand universities have endeavored to suggest, develop, adopt, and apply new College Algebraprograms considering their own environments. Some colleges and universities take advantage ofmodern computer technology software such as MATLAB, MATHEMETICA, and MAPLE. Yet,some colleges and universities find solutions from previous successful methodologies.

variationbetween active and reflective. Active instruction requires greater student participation andinteraction while reflective instruction anticipates greater student introspection. This dimensionis incorporated in our framework by providing parallel related paths through most segments ofour learning modules. One path presents concepts in a manner similar to a proficient lecturer.Some student participation and interaction may be required to progress along this path, but thepath focuses on concept explanation. This path should appeal more to the reflective learner, but itshould also be of value to an active learner. The parallel more active path provides relatedactivities to engage the learner through simulation, experimentation, and rich interactions

Theinstructor wants the students to understand that simply working more on the project is notenough; there will be ramifications on the quality and ability to transition the software intoproduction. The students must make hard decisions – try to reduce scope, reduce qualityexpectations, ask for more resources, or shift deadlines. Can they 1) understand that they mustmake that decision now (without the instructor stepping in) and 2) do they have the data availableto make an informed decision? This is just one many potential contextual problems faculty wanttheir students to face, and want the students not only to apply a technique they have learned, butto reflect on the choice and whether it worked as expected.There are other practical challenges in

The reason isroughening of the reflecting surfaces of the sample due to formation of slip/deformation bands.

A better system would create a team that emulates realworld conditions2, where there is only one mechanical engineer on a team of engineersfrom all disciplines. Or better yet, the team could consist not only of engineers but also ofliberal arts majors such as seniors from the child development or education departments.This multidisciplinary team grants students exposure to new and different fields of studyand gives them the opportunity to learn from and teach each other.

The limitation to two dimensions in part reflects the stage ofdevelopment, but also reflects pedagogic objectives of the project. One of the goals is thatinstructors be able to introduce the program into a course without spending significant timeteaching details of its operation. There is a high priority on ease of learning. Supporting threedimensional analysis runs counter to this goal because it would require a significantly morecomplex graphic interface, as well as requiring more data to define element properties andorientation.For the near future, the project development will emphasize an easy-to-learn program whichsupports non-linear, time

Even well-informed teachers are being challenged by these developments. Further, Fullan (1993)proposes that "Productive educational change roams somewhere between overcontrol andchaos" (p. 190). Smith (1999) uses the ACORN (Action, Communication, Ownership,Reflection, Nurture) model of Hawkins and Winter (1997) to link these operational andstrategic change processes. He summarizes the model's important factors and the authorreported this aspect in a paper he presented at the 2003 American Society forEngineering Education Annual Conference (Narayanan, 2003).

behind the approach and methods found in this paper: to succeed inleadership, indeed in life in general, one must be aware of and appreciate what motivates oneselfand others. This requires reflection and answers. Where is your (their) passion? Answering thisquestion is at the heart of Mary Poppins’ insights. When she sings, “A spoonful of sugar helpsthe medicine go down” and says, “in every job that must be done there is an element of fun …”,she is trying to motivate the children to take medicine that, without sugar, would otherwise havea bad taste. She is also making a job fun that the children did not want to do (picking up clothesand clutter). Mary motivates with sugar and fun, rather than raising her voice, behaving harshly,or worse. There
