Research demonstrates that students view podcast content-delivery as auseful, enjoyable, and advantageous learning tool in traditional, distance learning, and m-learning (using portable, handheld devices to access content) contexts. 1, 2, 3, 4 Studentappreciation for podcast-delivered material is

Other suggested themes were: Ethics Business Management Geography International Studies Engineering HistoryThe goal of the theme requirement would be to help students develop an area of competencyuseful to them in their future careers as citizen engineers. This theme requirement was in-spired by the curriculum ThreadsTM requirements employed by the College of Computing atthe Georgia Institute of Technology.9New Infrastructure Course(s)One goal of the revised curriculum is to create a

By using Bloom’s Taxonomy, people not associated with engineering educationcan identify with this multi-disciplinary project and its objectives. Bloom’s Taxonomy forms thebasis for the development of assessment rubrics used as evaluation tools. The assessment evaluation is independent of problem grading. The class grade is basedon the instructor’s objectives, while the cognitive assessment is based on rubrics independent ofthe numerical solution. It was never Bloom’s idea to have his taxonomy used to provide coursegrades. A participating student may demonstrate a high level of critical
