Studentsneeding to attend traditional courses like English, History and Math would in essence beattending a meeting for that period of time each day. The students would be required to be "atwork" in some sense a minimum of 8-9 hours each day.The faculty involved in this project recognized that it would be difficult to incorporate this modelinto a traditional academic environment in one quantum leap. They initially started with afreshman-level construction graphics course to assess potential pitfalls, identify successes andfailures, and determine student attitudes and interests relative to this construction educationapproach. The results of this two-year pilot study were positive and

The technical writing specialist also works with faculty inupper level courses to refine the structure of writing assignments. One example is helping to builda summary/review assignment for students in an engineering ethics course. Another example ishelping to design an assignment that asks students to review literature in technical journals andthe popular press regarding a dam failure and analyze the different treatments of the event.Alumni Involvement.

However, the TQM course in other institutions focuses onbenchmarking, global competitiveness, and strategic management tools. Adding a separatecourse to the IE department in this area would benefit the MSIE degree program as well as theMSEM program. Also, the department already teaches a Law and Ethics course on the under-graduate level, but either restructuring the current course to be taught on a graduate level, oradding an additional course on the graduate level would also be valuable.Two other courses that would be valuable additions to the department would be ProjectManagement and Technology Forecasting & Commercialization.

The students win by applying textbook knowledge and by being exposed to abroader knowledge of professionalism and ethics than from textbook exercises.

Students are introducedto a number of subjects that are necessary tools of engineering. Topics include: study skills, timemanagement, the concept of teamwork, professional ethics, and oral and written communicationskills. The computer application aspect of the course is designed with the strength of currentstudents in mind.

Everythingproceeds normally until the super-eutectic peak temperature, rapidly-heated sample is pulled. Theunexpected result gets every ones attention, and starts to beg ethical questions. Groups typicallyfeel that they should repeat the test; because the initial consensus is that there was some sort ofprocedural or material problem with that particular sample. At this point, the

It is time consuming and difficult to objectively andconstructively evaluate journals. 12 And finally, although a number of authors claim that journalingappeals to multiple learning styles, 3 the fact remains that journaling may simply not work for somestudents.12 Few studies to date have addressed this issue from a research standpoint. If thesedifficulties are not addressed, students are likely to revolt against journals and may even hardentheir dislike for writing (and thus defeat the purpose!).3.
