. IntroductionSeveral years ago, our department began an intensive review of our entire curriculum, with aneye toward revising it to more directly meet the needs of employers for the next century. Theprocess began with a so-called ad hoc, radical curriculum review team. The ad hoc team beganthe process of revising the curriculum by starting with a clean slate and “blue skying” their ideasof what it should look like. Later as the process matured, they expanded it to include thedepartment’s specialty area curriculum teams. The development of the new curriculum tookapproximately two years and consumed several thousand hours of faculty members’ time.During the process, members of the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) and graduates of ourprogram out in industry were

process and is still a subject for further research.According to Joyce and Showers9, "It has been well established that curriculum implementationis demanding of staff development - essentially, without strong staff development programs thatare appropriately designed a very low level of implementation occurs." Too often, short termteacher training institutes and after school workshops are seen as ends in themselves. These "oneshot" approaches to staff development may fail to result in lasting changes in teaching behaviorbecause teachers are not provided with the opportunity to experience success. Schumm, Vaughn,Gordon, and Rothlein10 suggest that teachers are not likely to change their classroominstructional behavior unless they are given the

We have developed a suite of laboratorymodules for surface characterization using stylus profilometry, depth gauge measurements, laserand LED light scattering, image processing, thermal imaging with infrared cameras, atomic forcemicroscopy, and white light interferometry. Students learn the metrology and parameterizationof surfaces, the techniques to measure and characterize surfaces, the advantages anddisadvantages of various methods with regard to accuracy, information content, cost, time,contact vs non-contact, and localized

As depicted in Figure 6, the project planning process started with developing a workbreakdown structure (WBS) method, in which the project was broken down into its five majorcomponents. These components were then subdivided into various subcomponents withassociated activities. The WBS method was used to ensure that all activities were identified andincluded and that these activities could be completed in the proper sequence.

Since education training is nottypically included in the plan of study of most STEM programs, faculty who graduate withSTEM degrees gain their teaching expertise post-appointment and “on-the-job”. In the absenceof formal training, most faculty can take as much as five years to truly become proficientteachers, and during that period, it is the students who are most affected [2]. There is a growingdemand and interest in faculty professional development in areas such as outcome-basededucation [3], curriculum design, and pedagogical and assessment strategies.

Hence, the first college degree should bejust the start of a career-long education process, where continuing teacher education becomes asignificant part of the life-long learning process for the teacher. The challenge for theprofessional development providers is to ensure that the nature, context, and programs keeps upwith the changing base of knowledge and practices required for the classroom teachers.Too many teachers still feel isolated in their classrooms.

The students may carry the false impression onward tohigh school or college, and the misunderstanding could prevent them from learning an importantconcept in optics and modern applications such as photonic devices. In the chapter “ScientificInquiry and How People Learn,” Donovan and Bransford identify “Addressing Preconception”as Principle #1 because “everyday experiences often reinforce the very conceptions ofphenomena that scientists have shown to be limited or false, and everyday modes of reasoningare often contrary to scientific reasoning.” [1] In response to a local middle school need, a devicewas

Additionally, theseniors benefit by gaining team leadership experience, and by developing the ability tocommunicate their ideas to a non-technical audience as their design work progresses.This project began in Fall 2001, and at the conclusion of that semester, an assessment
