. This agreement was part of an overall effort to improve educationalopportunities between both WSU engineering and WATC engineering technology students. Theintent was to share common facilities, curriculums and development opportunities to controlcosts and reduce duplication of facilities and equipment. Potential areas of collaboration include: 1. Collaborative Senior Design Project(s) 2. Collaborative efforts on Formula and Mini Baja SAE car development 3. Joint educational research and development proposals and projects 4.

SupportThe vast majority of the participants cited their positive experience with both faculty membersand T.A.’s. One industrial engineering persister had regularly attended the professor’s officehours in the reliability engineering class, and found that he would “stay extra just to help” her. Page 12.1614.14And consequently, she “did well on the homework,” understood it conceptually, and “did well onthe test as well.” There are, however, several students who didn’t feel they

PhenomenographyPhenomenography is the empirical study of the qualitatively different ways in which aspects ofthe world are experienced. That is, it involves mapping phenomena, or the relations betweenpersons and aspects of their world31. It is a qualitative research approach first used in the originalwork of the Swedish researchers Ference Marton32-34, Roger Säljö35, 36, Lennart Svensson37 andLars-Öwe Dahlgren38 in the mid-70s. Phenomenography was initially developed to investigatelearning among university students, leading to identifying the ‘surface’ and ‘deep’ approachesthat are widely known in education circles today32. Phenomenography appeared in its own rightas a research approach for describing people’s experiences during the early 1980’s (see forexample

Some of the ways to use case studies and a suggested format were reviewed in Delatteand Rens11. These include: • Introductions to topics – use the case to illustrate why a particular failure mode isimportant. Often the importance of a particular mode of failure only became widely known aftera failure – examples include the wind-induced oscillations of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge andthe failure of Air Force warehouses in the mid-1950’s that pointed out the need for

Research indicates that it can be as effective as traditional face-to-face instruction when the principles of good instruction are applied. That is, DEcourses are effective when technology and methods are aligned appropriately,when there is student-to-student interaction, and when students receive timelyfeedback.3 It is, however, the unprecedented range of technologies that causesmany institutions to select the technology first thus resulting in
