reflecting the specialized knowledgethat defines the context”. He argued that students should be trained to teach because they alsolearn when they have to explain to “others using such methods as cooperative learning andpeer instruction”. Support for Trevelyan’s thesis is to be found in a review of research onlearning-by-teaching and its implications for engineering education reported by Carberry andOhland [2]. Although it is known that some students are trained and paid to act as tutors forsmall groups in some programmes no information is given in either of these papers about thecontent of that training. It is argued here that substantial prior training may lead to moreeffective learning exchanges and subsequently better teaching in higher

Over time the teaching methods have been expanded to include recreatedartifacts (Loendorf & Geyer9, 2008), demonstrations (Loendorf & Geyer10, 2009), othercollections of technologies (Loendorf & Geyer11, 2010), and innovative visual content(Loendorf8, 2011).An additional teaching method was incorporated right from the very beginnings of the course butwas so tightly integrated into the course that it was almost overlooked.

Therefore, it would not have been successful to teach a courseinvolving the derivation and use of engineering equations, or with the expectation that studentswere familiar with even simple Physics and Chemistry concepts.The approach taken in this course was to use a small number of equations, and to keep thoseequations as simple as possible. The equations were used to help students visualize what wasbeing discussed, and were at a level where only algebra was necessary for understanding andsolving the equations. Even though some students would have had Calculus, integrals andderivatives were avoided as not all students in the
