there is an emphasis on discovery-based learning techniques throughout science and engineering curricula. This should be the norm. Often, however, it is not.NSF is taking steps agency-wide to steer more universities toward this ideal image byencouraging the integration of research and teaching in many of their programs (Marin, 1997).Additionally, the type of open-ended problem-solving skills stressed in ABET 2000 closelyresembles the type of skills required to complete the research process.With limited amounts of time and long lists of responsibilities, faculty members in engineeringoften feel torn between their teaching and research duties.

Sitthiworachart and Joy (2004)reported that of their 215 first-year students taking a computer programming course, 89% ofthem had not ever experienced peer review prior to the start of the course. Guilford (2001) foundthat only 39% of undergraduate engineering students understood peer review as it related toscientific publishing. Ballantyne et al. (2002) indicated that only 10% of all the students studiedrecognized the value of peer review towards their future employment, though 35% of theeducation students in their study recognized the long-term value.Despite the value of peer review, the best approach that has been

A DEVELOPMENT OF WIRELESS CLASSROOM FRAMEWORK FOR CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY COURSES Chul S. Kim, Laura Lucas Indiana University-Purdue University, IndianapolisIntroduction Many courses in the Construction Technology (CNT) Program in Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) are taught in traditional classrooms that are notequipped with computers. This is partially due to the lack of funding to provide enoughcomputer facilities; however, it is more because computers are not currently deemed integral inthe teaching and learning in these courses. Thanks to the rapid progress in informationtechnology
being covered in the physics class. The writing assignments given in bothclasses formed the basis of the data collected during the study. The underlying questionsinvolved the assessment of student learning in physics as well as in college writing. The primaryresearch questions were: (1) could this course linkage serve to enhance student motivation tothink more deeply and critically about the physics-specific content they were writing about ineach class? (2) If so, could this enhanced motivation be linked to increased studentunderstanding in physics? During this presentation, highlights of the curricula developed for thelinked classes will be provided along with a summary of the data collected. Results related tothe assessment of student
