Teachers selected for participation werenotified by March 1 and had to reconfirm their intention to participate no later than April 15.This latter action was found necessary in order to insure that we had our full compliment of 12teachers during the summer. At the same time that the teachers were being recruited so too were the engineeringfaculty who would serve as the mentors for the teachers. Unlike our prior program for which nofocus was planned, the RET program used biologically related engineering topics as its focus.This topic is both current as well as being of interest to the K-12 students

The program was a combination of molecular biology and chemical engineering and is unique in the nation. Being the lone chemical engineering faculty member in the pro- gram, he was tasked of developing a significant number of the core chemical engineering courses, albeit with a focus on biology. The program recently successfully went through the

To demonstrateachievement of competencies expected of students graduating from a program in engineering, itis necessary to identify outcomes for courses that are needed to achieve identified programoutcomes. Thus, student learning outcomes, based on program outcomes and course outcomesmust be continually assessed and would serve as the basis for plans to improve programs andcurricula in the programs. Improvement in program outcomes will depend on changing andimproving the curriculum through the course outcomes.Available literature indicates a focus on course outcomes as the way to demonstrate achievementof program outcomes 16-19.

address the students' preferred learning styles directly. At engineering colleges around the country, many inventive programs have recentlybegun to address these issues1,2. Along with recognition that the traditional lecture-based formatis far from ideal, many programs and departments have created innovative problem-based-learning first-year courses3,4. The perception is that giving students the opportunity to design,build, and test a "widget" will engage them more fully, motivate them to study harder, make amore educated choice of major, and commit to the major. Students whose preferred learningstyle requires active, hands-on activity discover that engineering may suit them well, in contrastto what they may have concluded from lecture

To incorporate these ideas into engineeringeducation, a project called “Reverse Engineering” was created, and employed in a sophomorefluids mechanics class. No different than taking a piece of equipment apart to better understandits operation, students can apply the same approach to chemical engineering problems. Briefly,students were asked to generate their own problems related to a concept discussed during class,and present the solution by breaking it down into its fundamental parts. We hypothesize thatstudents would improve their problem solving ability by
