In 1969, Carl Rogers articulated the needfor flexible, independent learners: “Teaching and the imparting of knowledge make sense in an unchanging environment. This is why it has been an unquestioned function for centuries. But if there is one truth about modern man, it is that he lives in an environment which is continually changing…We are, in my view, faced with an entirely new situation in education where the goal of

The course is used to introduce students to collegeacademics, the scholarly community, and the surveying profession. Class sizes are limited to 20students in order to keep the student-teacher ratio low and provide the students an opportunity tomake friends with 19 other students in their major. Team exercises are used in several elementsof the course. One of the purposes of the course is to build a comfortable academic relationshipbetween the first-semester surveying student and a

The rationale for the development of this 3-credit,graduate-level course included two arguments: (1) to provide practicing technology teachers withan opportunity to build their knowledge of usability and technology assessment; and (2) to pilotthe delivery of an online graduate course. Since the fall of 2000, this course has been offered100% online to on- and off-campus students using the Blackboard

These projects proceed from requirements gathering, to analysis, design,implementation, and delivery of products to real-world clients. In recent years, several of theseprojects have involved the development of serious games for real-world clients. Serious gamesare games whose purpose is education in its various forms, rather than entertainment.

Oklahoma offers aRobotics Lab course, which fulfills the requirement for experimental elective in both the AE andME degree programs. The course is typically taken by junior or senior undergrads, though theoccasional graduate student may also enroll. Many colleges and universities now include one ormore robotics courses in their curriculum. Many are being used in CS departments to promotethe CS curricula and increase the otherwise declining number of CS majors.10, 6, 4 Our class hasalmost the opposite motivation. The fields of ME and AE are both becoming more softwaredependent -- yet many of the undergrad majors say that they selected one of these fields becausethey do not like working with computers.
