the behavior of the system. During class, students are giventime to perform the “experiments” based on the quiz from the day before. After roughly 20minutes, the class discussed the results and then took a “team quiz”. This quiz involved a slightlydifferent outline to see how well the teams could transfer the information learned during theactivity. Students’ predictions and worksheet are reviewed by the research team to evaluate theirunderstanding through the course of the activity. As students run the experiment themselves andobserve the results, the physical world, rather than the professor, acts as the “authority”.Just-in-Time-Teaching (JiTT) is another approach to active-learning, which helps facultypromote students’ engagement and

Despite this, the committee ultimately chose a design that was destinedto fail. That failure has become a classic in the history of engineering, and it has led toimprovements in bridge design so that more ambitious projects can be attempted andsuccessfully completed.The United States entered World War II in the following year. The materials from the collapsebridge were used as scrap to support the war effort. Following the war, a new bridge wasdesigned. Engineers make careful use of the lessons from the 1940 collapse.The new Tacoma Narrows Bridge was completed in 1950

These students had completed their second year at thecommunity college, and plan on pursuing a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline. Thecourse started with project-based teaching of fundamentals of electrical circuits, electronics, andinstrumentation followed by introduction to mechanical design. It concluded with design projectsusing the skills that students learned from the aforementioned subjects. The projects aimed atpromoting active learning, research, problem solving, and understanding the design process.

Paulo, BRAZIL E-mail: drciampi@copec.eu Abstract - It is a fact that even some engineering professors work in researches with the industry; it is interesting to note that the industry has little or no interest in investing in the training of engineers to work in the industries during under-graduation level. Their perception still does not show that it is an investment. The communications between engineering schools and industry has evolved however it is still very humble. Another fact is that university professors, who are often judged primarily by their performance as researchers, do not have time to develop relationships and resources beyond their teaching materials at their disposal. Likewise

The desire to fill this knowledge gap is themotivating factor of this study.Procedure As mentioned in the abstract, this study extends the Genheimer & Shehab reports bystudying programs in engineering technology. In their model, Genheimer & Shehab identifyeight objectives of an IAB. In a related study,6 Rooney and Puerzer identify eleven objectives,which overlap those of Genheimer & Shehab but have more emphasis on recruiting both studentsand new faculty and stronger emphasis on research. They make the cogent point that the role ofIABs is strictly advisory, and they have no policy-making power. They also comment that theroles of IABs change
