The planning of the corequisite course curriculum and design was only discussed byemail.The curriculum of the corequisite course was designed to teach calculus with review ofprecalculus topics imbedded throughout the course. The intent was not to teach precalculusfollowed with calculus but integrate key topics of precalculus within the calculus concepts.

One model represents thetraditional engineering curriculum in which the theory of the subject is presented first, followedby the hands-on activities. There is an alternative model commonly adapted by the engineeringtechnology programs, in which the theoretical knowledge presented in the lectures isimmediately reinforced with the laboratory hands-on activities.The second case represents the blended learning which combines face-to-face classroommethods with computer-mediated activities to form an integrated instructional approach.

EducationOther members of the instructional staff in the freshman engineering course share this opinion ofclustering. The instructional staff includes an upper division undergraduate student who serves asa peer teacher. One peer teacher, who had previously worked with clustered sections, quitfollowing a semester with an unclustered section (on the possibility she may be assigned toanother unclustered section). Another faculty member echoed the same sentiment: I never want to teach an unclustered group of freshmen again!1. Evevett, L., P.K. Imbrie and J.R.

The biggest challenge was the internal cohesion of the course since it was taughtby a triumvirate with mixed backgrounds, discrete teaching skills, and each carrying theirspecialty’s particular language. For the course in 2004 (and presumably useful beyond this date)we obtained a NSF NUE (Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education) grant14 for $100K to createa web book. This book is becoming available on our course web site4; compared to the 2003course, the material is more fully integrated within each subject area of nanotech and is in asemi-archival format so the students will have access to it.
