Within engineering, the areas of mathematics, chemistry, and physics willhold a greater place than the written document or the grammatical correctness of that document.Students will need to be continuously reminded of the importance of writing and speaking in aprofessional manner. If those reminders are performed on a regular basis by faculty who reallydo influence the lives of the students, then communication will be integrated into the life of theengineer and never be forgotten.In an earlier paper I wrote the following words.

To master this material, a major investment of time by the student is required –even by "talented" students11. Again, in an adaptive integrated curriculum, near and far transfercan be made routine and much less costly. Singley et al12 describe the time required to learn thematerial as being proportional to the amount of material to be learned. This assertion isinteresting in that it reflects the traditional view of sequential learning. The authors’ experiencewith an iterative scheme13, 14 is that a re-organization of the order of presentation, homework andevaluation schemes can produce a large increase in the

We have 100 studentsenrolled in the program and plan to work with them for two years. Special sections of Calc I and Chemistry Iwere taught in the Fall semester of 1995.

For example, the ability tocorrectly visualize three dimensional objects when they are represented in two dimensions, suchas in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or in a detailed part drawing, is essential forengineers. Not surprisingly, due to self selection, engineering students typically score higher onspatial ability tests than their non-engineering counterparts. Research has shown that the spatialability of engineering students will improve during a semester long CAD based design courseand also that students prefer working with actual physical objects when developing these skillsduring a drafting course. However, whether the integration of an actual physical model with theCAD software can generate even greater improvement in

Since these activities typicallyspan several courses in an engineering curriculum, a promising approach for integrating theseactivities is through the use of teams of students from different courses.
