engineers who are environmentallysensitive, the “caring” aspect of environmental learning is increasing in importance [25]. Tochange engineering students’ mindsets from technologically-oriented to contextually approaches,Kastenberg et al. suggest that engineering students need to possess the goals of embodying thevalues of a new integrated culture of engineering, as well as enhancing self-awareness ofcontemporary issues [20]. Manion also suggested that engineering faculty members need notonly to increase students’ contextual awareness but also to complement this awareness byassisting them to transform their attitudes, values, and philosophies to match the engineer of the21st century [26].

To address this lack ofknowledge, ABET criteria requires undergraduate engineering programs to provide students atraining that will help them engaged in lifelong learning; making it an integral part ofengineering education. 3 The efforts of incorporating lifelong self-directed learning intoengineering education resulted in development of tools and techniques. As an example, SDLRSis developed to measure students’ readiness to self-directed learning. 4 A lifelong learning systemis presented to meet the needs of individuals as they progress towards their goals. 5 As theeducators developed tools and

With USAFA approval, the instructor evenused the USAF “boilerplate documents” Request for Proposal (RFP). Beginning in fall 1984, theaerospace engineering curriculum was revised to allow the students to choose one of two sevensemester-credit-hour technical areas (atmospheric flight or space flight) as the culmination oftheir degree program.

developassignments that require an on-line response or chat room discussion. Another method is torequire each student to find a hosting firm and develop a case study (relating to the content ofthe course) that is presented to the class. One more strategy for maximizing outside of classbehavior relates to the time consuming activity of viewing audio visual materials such asDVDs. Require the students to view the materials on their own time and write a threeparagraph “executive summary” that is collected and serves as discussion points during class.Active Learning Technique Number 5 - Preparing to TeachDoyle in Integrating Learning Strategies into Teaching suggests that we give thought toenhancing student learning, by asking and answering the following seven

The students had been seated in columns with an empty space betweenthem to make it more difficult to view the work of others. Midway through the exam, one youngman suddenly began rubbing his eye and blinking as if he had something irritating it. I thought itodd when the gentleman reached into the seat beside him and picked up a mirror compact tocheck the irritation. When he then began leaning back further and further to gain a better view ofthe paper behind him, I recognized that he was attempting to
