The faculty will research traditional and newly developed techniques and subject areas required by industry. In so doing, the topics and techniques necessary to best prepare students for industry will be brought into the classroom. • The faculty will investigate new and innovative teaching methods and

Students always ask for more examples toillustrate the concepts presented in the classroom lectures. Whether their motivation for moreexamples is to just learn the mechanics of the problems without really understanding theprinciples involved or that the examples do reinforce their understanding of those principles, thefact remains, at least for these authors, that there is a need to illustrate numerical examples in theclassroom.Organization of effortAt our university, the College of

(Chemistry, Physics, etc.) already have a curriculum similar to this course: a lecture and with alab section that reinforces class discussions. However, in those instructors focus heavily onfundamental material and less on the professional development of the student. Therefore, inorder to apply this method to a wider basis, the initial change must begin with the instructors,who might be limited by their resources, but can teach creatively outside of the text book toreach a larger majority of students. Innovative teachers inside the classroom lead the way forfuture innovative engineers. In by doing so, more T-Shaped professionals will emerge, making itthe responsibility of the faculty, administrators, and facility leaders to work together
