example, we surveyed faculty to learn more about their understandingsand perspectives on active learning. We had a 56% response rate from the entire Mines faculty,so had a good representation of faculty perspectives. The survey and subsequent interviewswith faculty indicated that faculty knew “active learning” was something that they should betrying, but that they had little or no idea what active learning was, how to enact it, or what kindsof activities they should use to make their courses more active and to achieve the outcomes fortheir courses. Faculty were confused and looking for guidance on how to better design theircourses.The issue faced by our faculty of not being sure when and what kind of active learning isappropriate is mirrored in

learning will be addressed. In addition, astudy will be conducted of several other colleges to find the best possible problems. From thisstudy, implementation recommendations will be given.IntroductionShortly after the Bachelors of Science in the Mechanical Engineering program was first launchedat our school, the faculty with input from the department’s Industrial Advisory Board (a grouprepresenting the major local engineering industries and employers) realized that students laggedin the area of laboratory analysis as well as technical writing. A specific course was devised toaddress these concerns. The course includes a section on technical writing, uncertainty analysis,error propagation, as well as statistical analysis. A typical student
