Some students believe that their opinions will not be heeded, andthus do not participate in these evaluations that are administered by the School. However, it isnecessary to have a valid measure of the effectiveness of technology, faculty, instruction, andstaff. By providing students with a mechanism to give honest feedback, the administration cangain insight into gaps between the theoretical processes, and the actual flow through theeducational system.This student research paper will address the quality of the undergraduate student experience ofstudents in terms of classroom and office interactions with faculty and staff.

The debate material, which is given as ahandout, from the text book, Teaching Engineering (pp. 219-220),4 consists of a description ofthe advantages and disadvantages of multiple choice testing and writing test questions. Thedebates often turn into heated discussions with students passionately choosing one side over theother.

Information science programs have used the stand-alonecourse approach,[7, 8] while the seminar/workshop approach is commonly offered throughlibraries.[9-11] Workshops and seminars offer the advantage of smaller time commitments,broad overview classes, or focused applications, but are often not for credit and consequentlysuffer retention issues.[9, 10] Another drawback associated with library delivered seminars isthat librarians have difficulty providing strong in-class examples since they often do not haveextensive experience in basic research or knowledge of discipline specific practices. For thestand-alone course, the advantage is in-depth material coverage at the expense of a larger timecommitment. Carlson et al. also observe that it

Specifically, five questions asked about the students’ background knowledgeof plagiarism prior to starting their graduate program. These questions were based on a surveyof international mechanical engineering students in Australia.[2] There were three questions thatdealt with the students’ beliefs about using material from the Internet, without citing it, and theprevalence of plagiarism.

The authors suggest that intraditional topic based learning, the “knowledge transmission” depends upon the instructor andhow he or she designs and delivers the material given in the text book. It has little correlationwith what is the contemporary need of the industry. On the other hand, project based learningrepresents more active learning2. Project based learning is sometimes viewed as problem basedlearning, especially in the medical education as both approaches require self-direction andcollaboration among multiple disciplines3. However, there are some clear differences betweenthe two learning approaches. For example, according to Perrenet et al.4, project work is more
