. Activities are incorporated into lessons, demonstrations, laboratory exercises, and fieldexperiences. By doing these activities, students will experience authentic scientific andengineering research practices that require higher-order thinking skills and creative problem-solving skills. This will enable each student to develop a better understanding of science andengineering and hopefully foster a desire to advance his/her education in a related field.The authors, as participants of project STEP, developed a module to teach magnetism to seniorsat Hughes High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. The overall objective of this module was to increasestudent interest in physics and engage them in the learning process. To this end, technology wasincorporated in

engineering students are taught control of continuous systems using linear controltheory. These courses often include topics such as step response and design of lead/lag control-lers. In terms of the pedagogy, linear controls are less desirable for the mechanical engineeringstudents because they are very difficult to implement in actual designs. The linear approachmakes more sense for electrical engineering students who are familiar with the mathematicaltools, and can implement the control system easily with common electronic components.This paper will describe a course, EGR 450 - Manufacturing Control Systems. The courseincludes lectures, laboratories and a project. This course uses rigorous design techniques and the-oretical methods to teach

The idea that small classes automatically solve communication problems betweenstudents and teachers is false.

Students were allowed to repeat the work because the program generated a newproblem each time. The final solution was always correct but the score was reduced ateach step by the points lost at each wrong answer. The paper describes how these ideascan be implemented using a variety of available authoring software. Student evaluation ofthese methods of teaching will be presented.I.

capstone courses between Xer faculty members;otherwise, one professor will have a lock on a course for more than two or three years. Further,when an Xer professor begins teaching a new course, that course should not be a basic course,but a secondary (higher level) one utilizing the basic course as a prerequisite. After teaching oneor more of these secondary courses, the more experienced professor is assignable to the basiccourse.This concept of having the senior, Boomer, professors primarily teaching basic courses whileleaving the more advanced courses for the Xers is reinforced by the learning differences in Mil-lennials and Xers.
