aconstitutive equation that features various parameter involved in the problem. Inshort, this procedure will identify a more rigorous equation for the KG parameteridentified in equation (9). By studying this equation, the student is able to identify thevarious physical conditions capable of being represented by the “homogeneous” orarea-averaged model. Details about this approach may be found in Whitaker (2000)and a discussion on them will be conducted during the session. A procedure such asthis is perhaps more likely suited for a graduate level course.III. ASSESSMENTThe assessment of the implementation of this approach in two different courses at theFAMU-FSU College of Engineering has shown a very promising trend. The studentshave been able to clearly

Engineering (CE 2633) is a sophomore/junior-level course in the Civil Engineeringcurriculum. This course introduces students to considerations of air pollution, solid and hazardouswaste management, and water quality. The semester begins with a general discussion ofenvironmental engineering that includes the science basis, environmental legislation, and risk andenvironmental impact assessments. The remainder of the semester is split into the air,solid/hazardous, and water sections where discussions are focused on concerns, specificlegislation, analysis, and treatment or control measures.

This scenario can be avoided through the heritagepreservation-tourism integration alluded to above.Engineering Education and HeritageThe American engineering community, schools and professionals, has not so far takenheritage education enthusiastically. Within this general assessment framework,engineering schools lag behind professional associations in attending to engineeringheritage.

Academic librarians now play a vital role in assistingpatrons with organizing and assessing immense amounts of data that exists in the digital world ofelectronic resources. A great deal of students view this process as an immense barrier toobtaining viable and scholarly information.Nicholson and Eva highlight that the existing information literacy gap is a result of student’expectations for instant information access which results in a willingness to settle for “less thanoptimal” information10. It has been reported that students consistently overestimate theirinformation skills which lead them to avoid

The majority (72%)answered “Yes, definitely,” 26% answered “Yes, but only in certain areas,” and a mere 2% with“No, not at all.” Based on this faculty group’s response, general training seems less of an issue,but more specialized and specific training is desired.Online CoursesThe last group of questions dealt with the faculty’s perceptions, use, and interest in onlinecourses.
