It consists of botha lecture and laboratory work. In addition, many of the students have not yet had course work intechnical writing. So we added teaching elements of how to write a successful lab report. Thestudents get exposed to all of the standard material testing procedures including tensile testing,hardness testing, heat treating and the process of mounting, polishing and etching samples toview them under a metallograph

Many students who cannot gain direct entry to a universityprogram join this technical institute at a lower point on the ladder, work their way up, andeventually sit beside those who entered directly from high school.Academic staff members are employed to teach and typically have 18 hours of classroom activityper week.

We believe this isa fundamental issue in all of engineering education that must be directly dealt with in courseplanning.Bloom’s taxonomy is a powerful tool for discussion among faculty related to teaching. Thisstrength comes from its ability to: ‚ Relate closely to faculty’s experiences related to students not being able to successfully solve real world problems and their difficulty with engineering design. ‚ Lead to examination of what activities (lectures, discussions, recitations, laboratories, out-of-classroom activities) are best suited to challenge students into engagement at higher cognition levels. ‚ Clearly show what testing or assessment methods are needed
