, particularly in science classes have clearly been shown to put studentsin a role of passive rather than active learning [1]. Traditional instructional methods have alsobeen shown to be very inadequate in terms of promoting deep learning and long-term retentionof important concepts. Students in traditional classrooms acquire most of their “knowledge”through classroom lectures and textbook reading. A troubling fact is, after instruction, studentsoften emerge from our classes with serious misconceptions [2 - 6]. Research on theconstructivist approach to learning (i.e. the learner must construct their knowledge) reveals thatwhen students are actively engaged with the material, learning is clearly enhanced [7].

In contrast, this effect and its consequences are purposefully examined in this article.The drag force exerted on the projectile, as induced by its movement through the atmosphere, ismodeled in accordance with a power-law relation that involves the projectile speed. But for theproblem formulation chosen, the governing equations of motion are non-linear and coupled, yetthey still permit an exact solution to be obtained in the form of a parametric description of theprojectile motion (in the case of the quadratic

Borrowing from successful aspects of engineering education, I have recentlyredesigned this course to better complement the practical and applied nature of these disciplines.Rather than traditional problem solving and calculations, students learn through analysis ofcomplex systems. In lieu of homework and exams, the focus of the class has been shifted togroup projects and case studies which demonstrate the application of important topics.

Thesefactors are also how we define much of our classroom dialogue in all forms of electrical andcomputer engineering.Driven by demands for smaller, faster, and more extensive circuits, MOS device dimensionshave been reduced to sub-micron levels [1]. At these sizes a few volts of potential producesextremely high electric fields, a factor that is both beneficial and problematic. The highfields are what enables the desired qualities of the MOS device. But the high fields also pushthe analyses well beyond most of the simple physics, which has its laws and roots in low-field laboratory benchwork. So classroom descriptions of the

In addition, Tobias describes students in the‗second tier‘ as students who are often very capable of doing well in science, but for one reasonor another, choose not to. Often, non-majors who enroll in a science course, perhaps to completea university requirement, may well be categorized as students in the second tier. It is preciselythese students that one wants to reach in order to provide them with a wider array of options asthey move through the academic ladder.

Because of the nature of thecomplexity of the subject, coupled with students’ presumption of the subject being confusingand not conceivable there needs to be an approach that stimulates their curiosity and desire tolearn the new subject and believe that without this new concept understanding our ever changingworld is somewhat difficult.
