CourseEG1004 consists of lectures (1 hr/wk), laboratory work (3 hrs/wk), and recitations (2hrs/wk) for an academic semester. Activities and examples from a variety of engineeringdisciplines are presented and a selection of professional tools (MS Word, MS Excel, MSPowerPoint, MS Project, AutoCAD, LabView) are introduced. Students are exposed toteam building activities and must make presentations (both written and oral), as anindividual and as a member of a team. Some laboratory work involves designcompetitions and the students must select one of two semester-long design projects thatrequire teamwork and develop project management skills.

appear to be consensus on any one particular strategy for placement. Manymathematics departments use a combination of ACT/SAT; others have developed home-growntests that are used with reasonable success. Some use a combination of ACT/SAT, home-growntests, and commercial placement exams (such as COMPASS). When available, prerequisitecourses are also used.For universities that enroll significant populations of students who have stopped out of schoolfor a period of time, placement is particularly challenging. When there is a significant time lagbetween when a prerequisite course is taken and when then the next registration occurs, studentsmay fail to retain adequate material from the prerequisite course. Placement exams can also beproblematic. For

ICPT can help improve student outcomes and teacher preparation, and create a student-centered learning environment [16].
