Its objectives areeducation, research, and community service. Virginia Tech has grown over the past 130 yearsfrom an institution with a student body of 43 to its current enrollment of over 25,000, comprisingabout 5000 new freshman each year. Of these entering freshmen, roughly 1500 will enter theCollege of Engineering.

IntroductionLaboratories are a particularly expensive form of education; they are also a particularly potentvehicle for student learning. As professors, we must continually strive to insure that the returnstudents receive from these potent vehicles warrants their expense, and we must be able todemonstrate this benefit to any who question it.

For juniors and seniors, because they alreadyhave the basic theoretical background, they will be teamed for real life engineeringprojects. These projects can be either based on the research conducted by facultymembers or obtained from industrial sponsors. Under the direction of a principal manager(a faculty member), each team needs to finish the project within certain timeline,generally a semester or a year.

This places large demands on educators todetermine more efficient ways of presenting material in order to ensure that students continue tohave the same basic understanding of fundamental concepts and skills as in the past.

This idea has been usedto enhance design education, as well as engineering education in general, in a variety ofcontexts21,1,27. In this sense, new knowledge is best learned in an environment where it can beeasily seen and/or applied in the context of previously learned concepts.

courses occupying 75% or more of the required course load for astudent’s four years of study. This leaves little room for studies outside of these areas, whichmay be to the significant detriment of the engineering student. Lichtenstein et al.1 demonstratedthat engineering majors gain the least benefit from their liberal arts education when compared toall other majors. One possible cause is the need for engineering students to make effective timemanagement decisions related to their studies, with the result of liberal arts courses beingshuffled to a lower level of importance. This unfortunate process creates engineers who areobtaining reduced value from their educational experiences with a potential handicap in theirability to see opportunities
