retention of the concept(s) taught.Neither Trevelyan or Carberry and Ohland discuss what preparation in pedagogy might beuseful in preparing students to teach although for some peer tutoring the students are givetraining and paid. It is argued here that substantial prior training may lead to more effectivelearning exchanges irrespective of whether it is undertaken as a tutor with one or twostudents, perhaps in a cooperative learning group, or as an instructor with a class of twentystudents.However, this brings into question the role that educational studies may have more generallyin engineering programmes.It is argued that students may benefit more if they have to teach an unfamiliar subject and thetraining may be linked to the preparation

material contained inthe videos was covered in class.Experimental Group 2. This group consists of five sections of ENG1101 taught fall 2014 by twofaculty members. The 308 students in this group were strongly encouraged to complete thereading and watch the video(s) prior to class, however, neither pre-lesson quizzes nor clickerquestions were used. Material covered in the video was typically not covered during class.Experimental Group 3. This group consists of five ENG1101 sections (293 students) taught fall2014 by three faculty members. Before attending class, students in Group 3 were expected tocomplete the reading assignment and watch the pre-lesson videos. To encourage preparation,short pre-lesson quizzes covering video content were also
enrolled in the class seeking their opinions, evaluations,and any comment(s) they may wish to offer. Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least. After regrouping, and rephrasing to correct the English language; thecomments offered by the ex- students, could be summarized as follows: The adjunct was easy to approach every time and every where, and was always helpful, His input into the course has dramatically improved students’ understanding of the material, enlivened the experience, and made the course more meaningful, Many students felt that the adjunct faculty was eminently qualified to teach

Students in this course had issues with content such as the equation for astraight line and the conversion of units from rpm to rad/s. In addition, student reflections oftenprovided only cursory responses to the questions and had a right/wrong-bias or behaviorallyfocused mindset. For example, in response to a question on calculating the torque-angular speedrelation for a linear motor, a considerable number of students remarked that their errors weredirectly related to their

In fact, 93.3% of the students (98 out of 105) felt as though every student(non-engineering and engineering) should take a course like this engineering economy course.Over 87% of the students (92 out of 105) said they felt as though a course like the engineeringeconomy course would be a good course to offer as a General Education (Social and BehavioralSciences at Penn State
argue from differentpositions is needed to diagnose the environment and propose the best solution17.Decision-making problems usually require that problem solvers select a solution from a set ofalternative solutions2. Traditional conceptions of decision making posit a set of alternativecriteria that decision makers work through in order to identify the optimal solution. Thosecriteria may be provided to the problem solver(s), or the solver(s) may have to identify the mostrelevant criteria. Everyday life is replete with decision-making problems. Businesses also dailysolve many decision-making problems.
