different historical contexts.Rather than require students to write the standard history term paper, we assigned a term projectto study the relationship of design to performance in ancient naval vessels in the Aegean. Thestudents were challenged to make connections between their hands-on experiences and the largerhistorical and geographic contexts. In other words, interdisciplinary, experiential learning wasapplied not to the technical component of engineering education, but to the societal contextcomponent. The preliminary results were encouraging. Plans are underway to adjust and re-offer the course, and to disseminate it more broadly.KeywordsHistory, society, laboratory, engineering, educationBackgroundAs the authors have discussed previously1

The introductory materials science course employs aproject-based approach and emphasizes hands-on experimentation. The course’s strong linkagesto everyday stuff – products such as sporting goods, tools, and toys – as well as cutting edgematerials and processes are highly appealing to Olin’s undergraduate engineering students.The course is designed to provide significant opportunities for student self-direction.Several key elements of the course give students practice in controlling their own learningprocess.

New Engineering Educators

MINDS Many new faculty may face challenges related to effective teaching techniques. Student perception of good teaching may often be different from the instructors' opinions. Finding the technique that merges the two perspectives can be challenging and vital. Project-based learning has been documented to be a guaranteed procedure for increasing students' interest in the taught topic, while developing skills that also often reward the instructor with good student evaluations. We present the lessons learned in several capstone courses taught by three instructors at three higher education institutions. Different procedures are used. Although the instructors use different techniques

engineering.IntroductionDepartments of engineering have now had over three years to experience the new accreditationstandards under EC 2000. The flexibility inherent in the way in which engineering departmentsaddress the needs of engineers can be both exciting and uncomfortable. Some departments maycontinue to see the above flexibility as too vague and therefore suspect. The area ofcommunication may be one of the problem areas because a typical response from engineeringfaculty may still be, “I am not an English teacher!” The lack of specific requirements may makefaculty feel that they will be forced into teaching topics or skills that may not be comfortablefor them. This paper focuses on an ongoing study of attitudes and concerns towardcommunication skill acquisition in the

Introduction The primary purpose of teaching is to facilitate student learning. However, many traditionalteaching methods have clearly been shown to encourage passive rather than active learning [1],and passive learning hinders comprehension and long-term retention of important concepts.Students in traditional classrooms acquire most of their knowledge through classroom lecturesand textbook reading, but good teaching involves a great deal more than simply pouringinformation into their heads. Students do not enter the classroom with a tabula rasa. They bringtheir

In this situation, while it is true that some educators conduct exemplaryexpository classes, delivering content with both depth and eloquence, engaging studentseffectively and promoting comprehension of the subject matter. There are also instances in whichthese classes integrate active strategies to invigorate the learning experience. In turn, active learning strategies play a pivotal role by positioning students as activeparticipants in the learning process.

courses in thesenior year. Courses like manufacturing systems design and analysis (e.g., factory physics),discrete-event simulation (e.g., arrival times distribution), and stochastic operations research(e.g., stochastic inventory management) all need statistical and probability knowledge. Usually,intricate examples about systems that imitate real-life situations are not feasible within theclassroom environment. Moreover, random and separate in-class or homework problems fail toconnect the concepts from different courses because of the time and context separation.Therefore, traditional teaching methods are not sufficient in establishing this needed connectionbetween concepts as well as with practice (real-life applications) [5].To improve learning
