Both classes were taught by the first author usingthe revised approach.Because there is always the possibility that one cohort happens to be more academically adeptthan the other, the prior academic performance of each cohort was examined in terms of theirgrade point average (GPA) in prerequisite mathematics and science courses, specifically,Calculus I, Calculus II, Physics I, and Physics II. The GPA for these courses was calculatedusing the following four-point scale: A 4.000 B 3.000 C 2.000 D 1.000 A 3.667 B

(2) The students could manipulate these components at ahigh level of abstraction, so they were not burdened with technological and software details.

A strongargument has emerged with regard to the timing of the capstone experience. Many have arguedthat capstone courses occur much too late in an engineering student education (?).v) The infusion of design concepts in a first-year introductory course - A first year

Process and instrumentation diagrams were included inseparate sections of the student reports. Appendices A and B include two of the best reportsprovided by the students. Not all students followed the tabulated formats to collect theinformation. In some cases this led to lack of clarity; in others, the chosen format was clear andconcise, nonetheless.
