Students are bound to benefit from a focus on “the ability to engage inlife-long learning” -- one of the ABET criteria and a foundation of information literacyinstruction.Our institution requires all students to have at least one class with an embedded informationliteracy component.7 For engineering students, that class is ES 1000, which has the statedobjectives of teaching students to “pose a research question

work independently or in small learning teamsas they acquire and integrating information in a process that resembles that of inquiry.Problem-solving learning has its roots in the medical school setting where small groupsof mature, motivated students work to solve very real-world problems. In this process,problems are defined and researched, and high levels of learning occur as they progressthrough the exploration, analysis and implementation cycle.Students soon see that learning is an ongoing process and that there will always be (evenfor the teacher) new learning issues to be explored. Because they learn concepts incontext, they are more likely to retain that knowledge and apply it appropriately in novelsituations.5 As they work through real

On the contrary, the integrative orientation implies a personal involvement or desireto connect with the community that speaks the language, get access to its culture or evenbecome a member of the group. The former distinction is not supposed to be taken as amutually exclusive dichotomy since there is an element of instrumentality in the integrativeorientation [21] [22].

It produced data thatcould easily be converted to show progress towards the course and curriculum goals, and clearlyshowed areas requiring improvement and suggested the manner in which they might beimproved. It is particularly valuable because the process of grading results automatically in thedata for the assessment report; it is not necessary to grade the work and then later ask, “So, whatdid that mean?” It seems most useful for courses such as UO Lab, where mastery of importantskills cannot be tested with an exam question.Bibliography 1

In the engineering world of the future, a sound understanding of thetheoretical and practical sides of engineering ethics will be as necessary to the proper educationof engineers as a knowledge of differential equations is today, if not more so”.4Robin Tatu in her article “Knowledge Isn’t Enough” takes the famous quote from the Greekinventor Archimedes “Give me a place to stand and I will move the Earth” and argues that “thepotential to wield such power is

Finally, it leads to a point that is seldom appreciated when the threemain topics of this course are taught in a non-integrated manner - that the analyticalsolution of a simpler case can serve as a limiting case check of the numerical solution ofa more complex case.
