Other survey questions not specifically addressed herewere all in the average range as compared to the IDEA T-Score Comparison with Classes ofSimilar Size and Level of Student Motivation in IDEA National Normative Database. It can beinferred, therefore, that the highly rated teaching methods contributed to making the coursebetter than average, in the minds of the students.

These gains are expressed in terms ofachieving a deeper understanding of engineering and aligning choices to personal values andinterests. Both groups seem to gain a broad perspective of the different areas and dimensions ofengineering, as well as an understanding of the different Immersed Program opportunitiesavailable in the college. This broad perspective appears to support students who feel certainabout their interest by inspiring them to explore beyond their initial ideas and ‘remainopen-minded.’ The students who mention feeling uncertain, find in the array of modules areas ofengineering that appeal to their interests, skills and values, gaining

Thesestandards may serve as the basis for program review or accreditation, norms for setting salariesand workloads, or goals. However, none of these purposes is particularly suited to disseminatinginnovations 22. Instead of seeing benchmarking solely as setting standards and norms , wepropose to use it to promote dissemination. From this perspective, benchmarking serves to helpus identify partnerships with like-minded individuals, that is, individuals and institutionsinterested in engineering service course reform

No longer do engineers work independently,and employers are looking for more quality-minded and customer-oriented work teams. Mostresearch shows that when the learner is actively involved in acquiring knowledge, theacquisition occurs much more rapidly and is more effectively retained. Therefore, howseriously should educators take the training of social, ethical, human values, andcommunication skills? Perhaps one answer would be the inclusion of cultural diversity that isbrought into the classroom by international students.Cultural diversity is the beginning of prosperity in society.

I don’t receive vocal information as efficiently as I do whenI read about something – I can always read text over again, but it isn’t usually possible to“replay” a lecture or a conversation. So my learning skills don’t match the lower levels of Dale’sCone. But after 43 years of teaching engineering subjects I am quite comfortable with the ideasthat, for most engineering students, Visual Receiving is superior
