Assessment has been done through the use of pre- and post-tutorial quizzes, studentopinion surveys, and demographic surveys of student learning styles. Furthermore, theimplementation of a design project that involves an application of the knowledge gained from thetutorials is also discussed.Introduction The finite element (FE) method is a widely used tool in industry for analyzing engineering problems. The most basic FE theory and applications are offered primarily as a graduate- level course, or in some cases, as an upper-level

The USLP is then a capstone experience.Equally the form of site learning can be broadened to include study abroad or exchangeprograms, internships in research laboratories (especially for student considering a researchcareer). Industry sites are then but one of a variety of types of site. Thus we move closer to amodel of education where the students can make some decisions as to the form of a more tailoredprogram of study including the context of learning.AcknowledgementI wish to acknowledge the many people who have made the USLP a success.

Once these courses are designed, advanced courses and perhaps minors in the area can be developed. 2) Faculty, individually or in teams, introduce various CT topics to their existing courses (e.g., nanotechnology into materials, chemistry, and physics courses; microfluidics and non-Newtonian behavior into fluid mechanics courses, etc.). This tends to “modernize” traditional courses and attract student interest, and hopefully enhance retention. 3) Develop student capstone CT projects with local industry (many of whom welcome the exposure to both
