The environment which the mind is developed in plays the greatestrole in how the individual thinks. Psychological research has shown that an environment wherethere are a lot of resources and equal opportunity is present promotes greater use of thinkingabilities, therefore, expanding the individual’s knowledge and experiences [3].Effective Group-Based StructuralismA team is a group of people who work together interdependently and adaptively towards acommon goal.

as a useful experiential teaching approach in manydisciplines in higher education. In the past few years, engineering programs have applied thismethod into their curricula from first-year introductory courses, capstone senior design coursesand multidisciplinary graduate level research oriented courses. For instance, the University ofMassachusetts - Lowell has integrated service learning into three core courses in civil andenvironmental engineering2 without eliminating pertinent course materials and without asignificant increase in time commitment. Purdue University has developed an engineeringproject in community service (EPICS) program3 featuring a variety of real-life engineeringprojects,This paper describes and analyses the experience of

Rubrics are amotivating tool for students, feeding them the necessary confidence to meet requiredexpectations outlined within the mastery levels. The feedback encourages students to inquirewhy they received the score they earned and improve their overall performance.References:Airasian, P. W. (2001).

may be used for other education aspects such as emphasizing life-long learning and the connection with concepts covered in the heat transfer course. This moduleprovides an opportunity to discuss the importance of life-long learning by discussing thatalthough distillation is generally considered to be a mature field, there is ongoing research ondividing wall columns as evidenced by recent scholarly articles11. Since many chemicalengineering students at Mississippi State University take heat transfer and separation coursesconcurrently, the discussion on condensers and reboilers can be used to reinforce what studentsare learning in heat transfer.AcknowledgmentThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under

growing aspect of technical education, research,and economic development in the United States. Concerns about U.S. competitiveness inmanufacturing continue to grow and the global economy continues to emphasize thecontributions of value-added manufacturing operations. Some of the important elements intoday’s changing economic environment are: demand for higher product quality; reduced timefrom concept to availability for sale; increased product output; and short product life cycles.The half-life of products has decreased to the point that 50% of product sales occur within threeyears of initial design. These factors have resulted in the absolute need for engineers who areprepared to initiate, design, plan for production, and control the manufacture
