. Through two independent design projects, students will become acquainted with and practice the core concepts of the course. The design project was based on a survey of Korean university students majoring in civil and environmental engineering. The overall plan is intended to prepare students for success in upper-level major courses.

INTRODUCTION present a general
common goal.A serious problem facing instructors trying to achieve this goal is to evaluate individualteam member’s roles on the team, and to create a team spirit and sense ofresponsibility among all members.In most team projects, the instructor uses a model that evaluates the final product andprobably a final presentation. The current model does not address the individual teammember’s roles in the preparation stages or in the ability to present their work. Theproject grade goes equally to each member of the team in most cases. Furthermore, thestudents who need more training on teamwork skills can be in the shadow of their peersand miss the opportunity of acquiring these skills. Therefore, the instructor will not beable to distinguish between

EngineeringEducation. Though the Focus is to provide access, to many but equally important is to ensurequality of education. Engineering graduates today require not only adequate technologicalability and problem solving skills, but also must be equipped with soft skills, business skills,inter personnel and intercultural adaptability.Now, the emphasis should be on self learning and the role of teacher is redefined as facilitatorto enable the students to be more involved in active learning through laboratory. Project work ,assignments and case studies Lifelong learning and continuous learning is key aspect of teacherand student.International collaborations are essential for better student development. Inview of theglobalisation and in this endeavour the role of

Curriculum development and implementation is based on scientifically-based models of professional development focusing on best practices, curriculum alignment, project-based learning, design-based learning and instructional coaching support to foster implementation of lessons learned. Eq- uitable access to rigorous content for all students while meeting the mandates of state curriculum standards is a major goal of Joules’ work.

science curriculum, at both the undergraduate and graduate level, oftenincorporates hands-on laboratory experiences. This hands-on lab work provides students withconcept relevancy, integrated knowledge, and technical skill required in engineering jobs [1].Hands-on and project based curriculum are examples of inductive learning techniques whereinductive learning reverses the traditional method of deductive learning. In deductive learning,a theory is presented to students and examples are then given in illustrations, in-classexperiments or homework exercises. In inductive learning, the process begins with a set ofobjectives or a problem to be solved. Faculty guides students along the way and the studentsreach an understanding of concepts through
has been developed that the programs based on engineering and technologyfor middle and high school students. Therefore the programs were instructedthrough team teaching by engineering professors and technology teachers.Second, the programs were consisted with lecture, field trip, problem solving,project and so on.Third, the programs were utilized in various institutes such as engineering andtechnology related colleges, universities, governments, research institutes, andindustries.Fourth, we applied the programs three times in December 2011, February 2012 andMay 2012. Approximately, 100 students participate in all the programs, respectively.It was high that the satisfaction of the participants, their parents, engineeringprofessors and

students’ academicachievement.Case Study 1The first study addressed the following questions: How much time did engineering students in the U.S. and India allocate to specific learning activities? How did time allocation change from freshman through senior years? To what extent did engagement in specific activities correlate with grade-point average (GPA), which is an overall indicator of achievement?The rationale for addressing these questions was based on previous research10 that had shownthat U.S. students allocated the majority of their study time to solving textbook problems withlittle attention given to writing papers and working on projects. In the present study, studentsreported times spent doing homework

Course Learning Objectives. 3. The Assessment ModelThe Assessment Model of Course Learning Objectives that we are introducing consistsof two different tools, these are: 3.1 Direct assessment tools: Each course in the educational program has to have several objectives that are linked to the Degree Program Educational Learning Outcomes. The instructors set up the mastery bar for each objective using statistical indicator which is normally a percentage. The objectives are directly tested through student’s evaluation tools such as exams, projects, homework. Each instructor is to calculate the average performance of the class towards each objective and record the data. Some of
