motivational tools served as means to create a betterteaching and learning environment in the classroom and in the laboratory. The response of thestudents was constantly monitored. The results show that the various activities strategicallyplanned to motivate the students to become active learners and to situate them in the context ofthe practice of Civil Engineering had a positive effect on several aspects, including theirperception the of the significance of the knowledge being acquired, of the reality of their futureprofession and of the importance of the tools they might need. Another significant increaserelates to the perception the students ended up with of their capacity to transfer the knowledgeacquired to other situations.1. General

However for any given individual there are certain modes of learning and thinkingthat are more natural and effective than the other methods. Many educational researchers havestudied the different styles of learning and teaching that occur in our classrooms, and as a result,several different classification schemes have emerged[ 8 ].

This must include an explicit anddetailed sharing of the calendars, student schedules, laboratory availability, vacation and holidaydates, and so on. We overlooked most of this and simply made a verbal understanding that thestudents would be getting together on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Penn State began the fall semester in the last week of August, and Artois began in the first weekof September. This was good, although a one-week orientation at the IUT caused the projecttime schedule to slip further. Additional problems occurred when the Penn State course timewas changed from the anticipated 8-10 time period to the 9-11 period. And access to thecomputer laboratory was

Itcan be argued that in a traditional academic curriculum Action and Self intersect to somedegree in engineering laboratory classes. However many of the laboratory classes involveprepared experimental exercises to confirm theoretical knowledge and require littlereflection. Furthermore the overcrowding at Australian universities combined with theshedding of technical staff and occupational health and safety issues have reduced, what oncewere hand-on laboratory sessions, to group demonstrations and computer simulations.The professional curriculum, shown, in

. Page 15.765.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Integrating Hands-On Design Experiences into the CurriculumAbstractIn many Biomedical Engineering (BME) programs, design is a key component throughout thecurriculum. This may involve a combination of design problems on paper, a reverse engineeringproject, education in design methods, and hands-on fabrication experiences. In the BMEprogram at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, our goal is to also provide morehands-on design opportunities in the laboratory and machine shop. We accomplished this bycreating new courses for a “design sequence” and by collaborating with an existing, requiredcourse.The design sequence consists of four courses that span the final

For students enrolled in classes,serving as teaching or laboratory assistants, and perhaps trying to balance family or other offcampus obligations, finding time, structure, and motivation to write can prove challenging. Inresponse, they may succumb to unhealthy habit of ‘binge writing’, mistaking believing that theywill be more creative and productive if they write sporadically in bursts that lead to exhaustion4.A simple way to create effective writing habits and ensure steady progress is to set writing goals.A goal is simply an articulated desired end-state.

While additional contact hours willcertainly enhance learning; credit hour limitation of curricula is also a “realistic constraint”around which engineering curricula has to be designed.

The formal education focusedon classroom lectures and laboratory-based exploration. However, even though the lecturesallowed for decent breadth while the laboratory allowed for decent depth, there was still a need fordeep, less-structured exploration. This piece seems to be missing in most introductory curricula,and is of the utmost importance to allow students to really solidify their knowledge.This is where the idea of the Deep Dive comes
