The students’ preferred learning styleswere determined by surveys.The Spring 2003 class that used the new materials was comprised of 35 students.Administration of the course is at the college level and instructors for the course comefrom various departments and are rotated.

Yet, aside from a capstoneexperience at the end of the curriculum, few students are prepared to apply learning beyond theway it is covered in the lecture or presented in the textbook. They are uncomfortable solvingproblems that are not well structured and require the integration of multiple concepts to craft asolution. They have little experience with either under-constrained or over-constrained problems.Unfortunately, this traditional approach to teaching and learning in engineering does noteffectively encourage knowledge and skills transfer to other

However, the most importantvalue was in being able to schedule open laboratory time so the TA could assist students in usingnew software tools.Graded homework problems are assigned every two weeks. Group work is encouraged for someproblems and forbidden for others. Two hour exams and a final exam are given. Some examproblems are quantitative, where students are required to apply algorithms and produce ananswer. For example, students are expected to be able to convert between binary and decimalnumber representation and smooth an intensity image by neighborhood

societies, and –consequently – towards engineering education:− New technologies become out of date after ca. 3 years while the cycle of reaching full professional efficiency by a graduate is 6–8 years (4–6 years of study and 2 years of initial professional experience). Consequently, it seems to be useless to base the education of the future engineers on the ideas that will become obsolete at the beginning of their professional careers. The rapid advancement of technologies is accompanied by an exponential growth of the volume of engineering knowledge that cannot be unlimitedly added to the engineering curricula. This should be the reason for more synthetic and methodical teaching of the fundamentals.− The main competence of an
