!Teaching large classes is not new, but it was to me. As a graduate student, also at a large publicinstitution, I had the pleasure of teaching engineering economy to roughly 70 industrial andsystems engineering majors numerous times. This number seemed to pale in comparison to myassigned 172 for the Fall of 2007 semester.As a researcher, I sought the literature to help in this endeavor. There are a number of resourcesavailable at various institutions to help deal with large classes. For example, a simple search onthe Web located resources at a number of universities, often through a Center for Teaching. Oneexample of this is Ives2, which includes practical steps on dealing with large classes, includingeducator testimonials. The educational research

Adult students in workforce training couldbe candidates for the engineering pipeline and continue at the community college andreceive associate degrees which are usually two to three years in length for a full-timestudent.
