eight prominent and diverse southeastern colleges ofengineering with a shared vision of creating sustainable engineering education reform havingnational impact. This vision was articulated through the definition of a curriculum model based onthe desired attributes of engineering graduates. It was desired that the graduates of thiscurriculum be technically competent, critical and creative thinkers, life-long learners, effectivecommunicators, team players, and globally aware. They should understand process and systemsdesign and integration, display high ethical standards, and appreciate the social context ofengineering and industry business practices. The curriculum model was designed to develop thesequalities through changes in the curriculum

All together with using active learning, instructors mustalso consider the ‘Student Resistance to Active Learning’ which remains a new area of interest forengineering education research [12]. ‘Student Resistance to Active Learning’ may be reduced byemploying the strategies proposed in literature such as varying the teaching methods usedthroughout the course and making and using a public grading rubric for students to avoidperception of grading unfairness, just to mention few [13-14]. Although, this paper focused on thedifferences in student expectations on the efficacy of instructional practices, the impact of thosechanges on the learning outcomes is yet to be determined and is the focus of our future work.References[1

This new approach will increase student enthusiasm and provide closer alignment of classroom topics with today’s standard industry practice. This paper will deal with a unique application of the research/teaching method used at the undergraduate level, using a hands-on laboratory approach in conjunction with classroom lecture. The approach can be tailored to all levels from introductory freshman to senior-level classes. An open-ended project is utilized, requiring a creative approach for its solution.

, there have been dramatic changes in the way engineering principlesare applied to practical problems. Increasingly, an integrated approach using analytical,experimental, and computational approaches is being utilized. The development of compact,powerful digital computers has been one prime mover in these changes, with computationalalgorithms now often replacing experiments as primary analytical tools. However, experimentsstill play a crucial role in developing in students an understanding of complex thermofluidphenomena. Additionally, the analytical (exact solution) approach still has an important place inbringing intuitive insight into a problem. For these reasons, engineering programs in academia

At a minimum, the benefit to thestudent is their recognition of critical gaps in their education; at best, students will be motivatedto gain additional background knowledge from outside research, from peers in other disciplines,or simply from the context of assigned readings. Additional challenges include students notbeing used to doing large amounts of reading, or readings of the type assigned, such that theymay not think critically and bring good questions for discussion. Finally, the readings arechallenging because they pose a threat to the world view many engineers hold, and can producedefensive reactions. These challenges are discussed more fully
