serves as a focus for this change by providing a road map for action, enlisting cooperation, and avoiding counter productive activities. (2) This change process must be successfully managed. Someone needs to be in charge to facilitate this change process, to provide methodology and strategies for change, keep the project in focus, and keep in mind the people dynamics of the change process. (3) The teaching faculty must do it! The plan may be top down, but the implementation must be bottom up. (4) There must be a continued effective partnership between teachers and business people. Our

The paper itself is written as a diagnostic model in which readerscan discover for themselves, through active exercises within a small discussion group, thenecessity for developing, writing, and implementing a sound teaching philosophy rooted inactive learning. Faculty members are encouraged to develop a schematic model (flowchart)illustrating how their philosophy manifests itself in the classroom. The model is beingdeveloped primarily for new faculty members in the Engineering Mechanics Department at theUnited States Air Force Academy in hopes that it will accelerate their professional developmentand classroom improvement efforts.I

What are the developmentalfactors that determine the meta-cognitive abilities of undergraduate engineering students andwhat are the characteristics of the engineering curriculum that may exacerbate studentdevelopmental differences? Now we must also consider, in light of the latest data, what are thecurricular and instructional factors that may also be influential in the teaching and learningprocess.ConclusionsThe Integrated Signals and Systems Laboratory has been established at the University ofNebraska, Lincoln over the past three years. The ISSL is now regularly used in three separatecourses each semester with an approximate total enrollment of 120 students. Quantitative andqualitative data suggest that the laboratory

SESSION 2330 The Learning Portal Richard L. Upchurch, Judith E. Sims-Knight University of Massachusetts DartmouthAbstractUndergraduate engineering education is experiencing a paradigm shift, from teacher-centered tostudent-centered pedagogy characterized by student teamwork and integrative curricula 1. Theresearch and experiences underlying this shift have revealed that effective learners not only learnactively, but they develop an awareness of their skills in learning, and engage in self-assessmentand reflection. Research in psychology has found that the

In some institutions, and in some high-demand areas(chemical engineering, for example), these packages can amount to several hundred thousanddollars or more. In a non-EPSCOR state, smaller institutions are at a disadvantage. HopefullyNSF and other government agencies will develop programs that address this issue (start-uppackages) in lieu of or in addition to the programs they already have in place to help the mosttalented young faculty.6
