student behavior is to require that students develop the spe-cific form of the equations needed by applying general concepts which is the essence of the SAMapproach. And a key pedagogical feature of the SAM approach is its use as a mechanism to learnabstraction, modeling, problem-solving, and critical thinking.IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAM APPROACHRose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT)In 1993, RHIT joined with six other schools to form the Foundation Coalition, an NSF-fundedEngineering Education Coalition.

needand desire to reduce the gap in student learning and real world problem solving asgraduates enter the workforce. The National Academy of Engineering has appealed toengineering programs to integrate theory and practice in the curriculum, and introducemore innovative learning methods that simulate industrial decision making in theclassroom and laboratory [1]. Hence, the challenge for engineering educators is the useof more innovative methods for instruction and learning to replicate real world problemsolving, and provide an environment for intellectual exchange of ideas and solutions in aclassroom setting. This is further reinforced by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) to encourage the use of a cadre of tools and

For example, D. Chubin [5, 10] notes that in the United Statesstudents show weak interest to math and science. The similar problems are observed in othercountries [6 - 9].Academic Challenges are associated with insufficient grounding of entrants in STEM complex(Science- Technology-Engineering-Mathematics), and of their difficult adapting to new forms ofteaching in a university. As a result, the high level of expulsion of 1-st year students (freshmen)is observed. Authors [5-8] note that the increase of dropout rate of students is
