As part of a large program offederally-funded research, our research team has developed light-weight, portable, ultra-Low-CostDesktop Learning Modules (LC-DLMs) that enable students to employ systems experientially toillustrate the physics that underlie transfer processes and provide students with visual cues to helpdevelop robust understanding of the fundamentals of momentum, heat and mass transfer. Sixty-seven (67) participants used LC-DLMs to learn venturi concepts in an engineering course.

My course directorchose a lecturer that was a recent graduate of a structural engineering program. He felt selectinga recent graduate was more important than getting a prominent professional in the field. Havinga recent graduate lecture allowed the students to see what they may be doing with our coursematerial after graduation. The added benefit of getting a more recent graduate is that he or she istypically more available

Forexample, many programs are now requiring biology classes in addition to the traditionalchemistry and physics classes. An increasing number of departments are changing their namesto include some reference to biology (e.g., chemical and biochemical engineering, chemical andbiomolecular engineering).
