current curriculum?Another question that seems to be pertinent is how do students learn best? There is muchresearch and discussion on the topic, but most educators generally agree that studentslearn best anything that they experience themselves as well as normally do repetitively.Many engineering educators have homework, design projects, and mid-term exams, andmany times topics are tested again on a final exam. This process allows the student tofirst wrestle with the concept at their own pace in a homework assignment where theycan collaborate with others before being asked to test their skills within a timed eventsuch as an exam. Learning by doing is the primary basis behind the growth of project-based learning (PBL) opportunities.4 Some programs

The Student Perspective: The Quality of Our Educational ExperienceAbstractAre college students receiving the overall quality of education that postsecondary institutionsstrive to achieve? Many students have complaints not necessarily in terms of the technicalcomponent of the education, but in terms of presentation style, grading techniques, and instructorenthusiasm. Students also express frustration in the processes of progressing through theeducational system, from program admission through graduation, and feel that there arebreakdowns in communication with faculty. The issue at hand is to determine where thesebreakdowns and gaps occur, and adapt the current methods and mentalities in a fashion thatcloses these gaps.Currently, faculty
