dealingwith real world technological issues.For the past 20 years the principal author has taught a course, ―The Environment,‖ to non-engineering and non-science majors as a science core requirement. In Fall 2007 a section of thiscourse was taught using the traditional lecture method. In the other sections of the course,methods for improving the technological literacy of these students were developed. Four bestpractices were selected from these methods and taught to an experimental group in summer2010. The best practices are: (1) learning from three hands on and minds on labs, (2) use ofcharts and equations, (3) making students familiar with the top 20 bench mark numbers used inthe industry, and (4) acquiring knowledge about the commercial

. Page 13.2.2Problem DevelopmentA goal of Engineering and Engineering Technology professors should be to prepare the studentsfor a smooth transition into industry. Employers’ often communicate the need for graduates tohave a thorough understanding of how to integrate technologies and solve real-world problems.Practicing engineers rely on knowledge, experience, and research to lead them through a project.A young engineer, at the beginning of his/her career, is faced with many adjustments. A lack ofinsight reduces the confidence of the young engineer leading to the need for greater supervision.While companies that hire new graduates have a general expectation that additional supervisionwill initially be required, it is advantageous to all

In other words, the knowledge transmission depends upon the instructorand how he or she designs and delivers the material given in the text book. It has little correlationwith what is the contemporary need of the industry. The more recent learning approach that hasbeen widely adopted across all the majors is project-based learning, which provides environmentfor active learning (Bayles, 2005), and application of knowledge to solve real-world problems(Perrenet et al., 2000).In summary, while it is critical to have academic rigor based on theory offered by traditionaltopic-based learning, it is equally important to develop an innovative pedagogical approach
