Theresearch seeks to instill confidence and competence in students' grasp of fundamental chemicalprinciples, collaborative skills, and problem-solving abilities, while also nurturing their curiositythrough the integration of active learning techniques, laboratory experiments, and interactiveteaching methodologies. The study discusses an examination of the impact of hands-onpedagogy on students' peer learning collaboration and curiosity.

A schemeof heritage engagement for engineering schools, in particular, has been proposed togetherwith scheme application guiding information. The scheme asserts a) incipient engagementis required, b) operative engagement is recommended with an eye on making it required,and c) professional engagement is to be considered only under very special circumstances.Guided by the proposed heritage engagement scheme, integrating heritage education intoengineering

Because of the limited mathand science included in these classes (they have no prerequisites), they are an ideal platform fromwhich to teach non-engineers some fundamental engineering concepts and to make engineering amore known and less feared subject. In particular, these courses have been very popular amongpre-service teachers. In typical teacher education programs across the nation, the science contentis pitifully small, often less than one-third of one class. There is no engineering content.

Our experience has shown MOSIS' capabilities make an important and highly motivatingcontribution to undergraduate education in electrical engineering. The insights which studentscan garner from a MOSIS fabrication cycle are important enhancements to the design experiencebase and the maturity of students. However, there is significant preparation required of educatorswishing to make use of this capability. Some of this preparation is not completely obvious ordocumented.

. Principles of Assessment The term assessment is generally used in two contexts. Summative assessment (usually just calledassessment) is what an institution may use to make decisions about global learning outcomes, resourceallocation, and accountability. The assessment is usually a formal process and consists of documentation thatstudents completing degree programs have the knowledge and/or skills required of their degree program. Theaudience for summative assessment is usually external to the department or university. Formative assessment(often called classroom assessment) involves continuous, oflen informal, assessment of student learning withthe expressed purpose of improving teaching and learning within a specific course or curriculum

this ideatakes form as optional work, where curriculum is designed by the instructor to help students gaina full understanding, but it is the decision of each student how much they will choose to engagewith the content. Weimer’s take on responsibility for learning is that faculty have an unhealthy large shareof the load. As educators, faculty design “rules, regulations, and stipulations” to force studentbehaviors into line with our assumptions about what positively affects learning. The argument ismade that this is a disservice to students, contributing to graduates with little commitment to orrespect for learning, who cannot function without structure and imposed control.

An instructor must try to tie the problems together and show the connection between theories and practical aspects learnt from two or more courses. Approach: Working along these lines we invited one of the GIS instructors on the second day of class to informally discuss DBMS and its relevance to GIS. Prior to this class presentation, the two instructors discussed a number of topics. The database instructor posed to the GIS colleague an almost identical set of questions as those to the local businesses. This enables the DBMS instructor to compare industry expectations with GIS related database concepts in the curriculum. Outcome: We received positive

This allows for content development as well as instructionto the students from a technical background. The fellow becomes a “real-time” resource toanswer questions and clarify any concepts that a teacher not specifically trained in science orengineering may have. Through this resource position, vital communication skills are developedthat will be further discussed at length. Another key role for the fellow is to develop activitiesthat are integrated into existing science and technology curriculum. In order to best fill this role
