Feedback revealed that studentsbelieved the water turbine project was more fun and interesting than paper designs even though italso required more hard work.REFERENCES1 Baunopane, R.A., “Engineering Education for the 21 st Century,” Chemical Engineering Journal, 20/2, 166-167.2 Aglan, H., Ali, S., “Hands-On Experiences: An Integral Part of Engineering Curriculum Reform,” Journal ofEngineering Education, vol. ??, p.327.3 Bourgeois, F., “A Hands-On Approach for Teaching Engineering Principles,” Conference Proceedings forEffective Courses/Effective Teaching at University/Reflection on

importance of Bloom’s Taxonomy and have tried to changetheir teaching styles to create a learning environment. Teachers have recognized that the studentsmust be provided with an opportunity to develop their problem-solving skills in addition tomastering a particular body of information. Furthermore, many of our educational institutionshave tried to move away from emphasizing the establishment of strong knowledge-base. Themodern trend is to develop an interactive problem-solving pedagogy that encourages thedevelopment of learners’ creativity, understanding, and written and oral communication skills.In a learning paradigm, it is observed that evaluation is holistic, and student success outcomesare what is measured. Many scholars have recommended and
management systems, such as Moodle, have enabled courses to be effectively deliveredin an online format. The features that these systems have can also be effective in a face to faceclassroom, helping both the instructor and the student. This paper has shown several of thesefeatures used in a variety of face to face classes, including laboratory based, lecture based, and asenior capstone design course.References[1] Kyei-Blankson, L., Keengwe, J., Blankson, J. “Faculty Use and Integration of Technology in HigherEducation”, AACE Journal, v17 n3 p199-213 Jul 2009[2] White, C.P., Ramirez, R., Smith, Jessica G., Plonowski, L. “Simultaneous Delivery of a Face-to-Face Course toOn-Campus and Remote Off-Campus Students” TechTrends v. 54 no. 4 (July 2010) p

The theory and materials are presented in the classperiods, and are driven home during project preparation. The projects have forced the studentsto indeed “think outside the box”. This course curriculum has undoubtedly tied many ideas andpreviously learned material together. As a student that learns through hands on experience, asmost students in this field are, I can say with conviction that due to the lab work associated withthis class, I now understand the practical application of differential equations.

They are: (1) develop and maintain an effectiveliaison between BRCC and LSU; (2) utilize scholars to develop a peer ambassador/mentorprogram facilitating transfer success; (3) establish and conduct a pre-transfer academiccounseling program; (4) expand existing seminars to orient and integrate BRCC and othertransfer students into LSU and (5) invite BRCC math, science and engineering faculty toparticipate in ongoing Faculty Development.Activities of the program to date have included outreach, professional development, advising,and developing an overall assessment tool.

B the 1980 s and be ond, engineering students needed to be prepared for theirprofessional lives by going beyond experimental studies that dealt only with improving studentunderstanding of the basic engineering science. At some universities basic electromagneticsexperiments were introduced in prerequisite physics courses, and such experiments still existtoday. To meet the demands of the engineering profession, the laboratory in engineeringelectromagnetics added basic transmission line experiments in the

Nevertheless, a research article dealing with plastic microfluidic biochips forDNA analysis was added to supplement the lectures and to further illustrate the importance ofmicrofluidics in BioMEMS.Graduate and undergraduate students had different opinions of the breadth and depth of thecourse. Graduate students felt that the course did not cover the topics in enough depth. Most ofthem were enthusiastic about the assigned research articles and thought there should have beenmore. At the same time, undergraduate students felt overwhelmed by the amount of the materialcovered in the course. They felt
