Computer modules mayalso help students move into a higher level of thinking. These higher levels, according to Bloom’sTaxonomy4, include analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Rhoads, Zimmer, Lewis, and Hubele13have attempted to move students in their statistics classes into these higher levels. They usedcomputers in a laboratory setting for in-class exercises. Online multimedia has a significantadvantage because students can view the content in a self-paced and asynchronous fashion17.

The advisor set actual dates afterconsulting with panelists. Announcements were e-mailed to all engineering graduate studentsapproximately two weeks prior to the event, again a day or two before, and once more on the dayof the event.

Engineering and Educational Philosophy If John Dewey were opening up his famous Laboratory School today instead of 100 yearsago, the occupational theme that teachers would use to teach children "how society has grown tobe what it is" (Tanner, 1997) would not be sewing, cooking, and carpentry, but engineering.With an enormous interest in the social nature of learning and educating children that can liveand work together, Dewey certainly would have been a fan of systems

On theother hand, academic staff, especially talented young people, are attracted by significantly highersalaries offered by private or even state-owned industrial or business enterprises.Although most academic institutions suffer from fiscal crisis, the situation of many engineeringschools is particularly difficult. The main reasons are:• higher costs of running engineering courses, compared to arts and science courses, which is mainly because of high costs of modern equipment used in laboratories

The broad courseoutcomes were to describe civil engineering applications, recognize the impact of civilengineering in improving society, and work effectively in a team. Instructional activities varieddaily but included laboratory visits, several hands-on experiments, active learning activities, andtraditional lectures. Active learning classrooms were used due to their collaborative learningarrangement so students and instructors could work effectively with others

Due to limited capacity, UREs are often competitive and have selection criteriasuch as grades, test scores, and previous experience or performance based in a class [19].In contrast, CUREs have a structured curriculum and are open to a broader range of students,placing higher demands on mentors to guide multiple students [18].

that the central truth-claims of a worldview be verifiable or falsifiable since claims that lack this characteristic cannot be investigated, evaluated, and critiqued, thus carrying little rational weight. „Testability increases a worldview‟s intellectual credibility. The concept of “testable truth” contains persuasive power.‟18 Engineers use several different methods for testing reality, such as theoretical calculations, computer simulations, and experimental testing in the laboratory. They typically look for good agreement among such methods before proceeding with a design- related decision. However, the approach to verification or falsification of worldview truth-claims can be somewhat different from that of verifying the

In addition, they were shown examples of design sketches,team logs, peer evaluations, design project reports, and final designs.
