. These collaborative oral teaching presentationsare required to be informative, educational, and interesting (not boring). Handouts, overheadprojectors, etc., and examples of personal protective equipment (PPE) are utilized. Thehazardous materials team from the local fire department has also been invited to give apresentation. An attempt is made to conduct a lengthy discussion of the material underconsideration. However, it has been found that the concept of collaborative learning andespecially discussion can be difficult, at times, to initiate in engineering students7. In addition tothe collaborative oral teaching presentation, a written report is required of each student.The foregoing paragraph reviews the actions that have been taken to
