In addition to encouraging nearly 100% participation and enabling nearlyinstant grading and attendance, the methodology developed enabled problem-based, peer-interactive learning during the large lecture format. This format enabled the students to work onpractical problems by teaching one another, thereby reinforcing important class concepts.This paper will describe: 1) the background of civil engineering materials classes at Purdue, 2)the motivation for investigating how to improve the learning experience in the materials courses,3) the background of interactive classroom technology, 4) methods to incorporate the personalresponse devices in class, and 5) plans for future developments.1.

Integrating Communication Skills into a Mechanical Engineering DepartmentOverviewWith the changes in accreditation through the current ABET criteria, providing adequate writing,graphic, and speaking skills can easily become the second most important issue for engineeringdepartments next to the teaching of the technical skills themselves. As more and moredepartments are seeking accreditation under the new rules, it is vital that varying methods ofaddressing skill acquisition be viewed. The engineering student's already extensive list ofrequirements, in most cases, can not be burdened with more credits, though. This creates adilemma that can only be solved by providing communication skill instruction in as manyengineering classes

Often,it is seen if the student does not opt a lab course with the course dedicated to teach the theory, thearising situation somehow creates an ample chance of losing the students’ connectivity betweenthe subjects’ understanding and its practical importance. Also, due to a fixed nature of adequateset of equipment in the laboratory, the lab course on Control Systems can only provide a goodinsight on a limited number of prescribed problems/experiments. Even if there is a separate labcourse taken as a co-requisite, it is still very difficult to facilitate subjective experiences on avariety of computational problems of diversified nature. After

This was an easy decision because 95% of the originalstudent body came from 3 corporations which were all located in a large industrial park within 3miles of one another. There was an inconvenience for the professors teaching the courses whohad to leave campus at the end of their workday and drive to an off campus location 16 milesaway from the main campus. The thinking was that it was better to inconvenience one facultymember than the 25 or so students who made up the class. The faculty found no problem withthis arrangement.

Instructors, accustomed to small, intimate class sizes where they could learn everystudent’s name within the first week, are now facing larger groups where students can easily slipinto anonymity.In the past decade, teachers began incorporating more active-learning activities and hands-ondesign projects. The freshman-level courses, in particular, benefitted from this change inphilosophy. Now, it should be noted that, at TU, freshmen select a major as they enter theuniversity.
