Wankat Chemical Engineering, Purdue UniversityAbstractNew professors are anxious to prove themselves in the classroom, but they know thattheir promotion and tenure prospects likely depend more on research productivity thanteaching. The challenge is not only to teach well, but also to teach efficiently.Fortunately, most good teaching practices are both effective and efficient. Methods fordeveloping a good course and hints on lecturing, testing and improving rapport withstudents are presented. Finally, a path for future

The flexibility method, and theConjugate- beam method have been used by others 5,6 to construct the influence lines forindeterminate beams. This paper will focus on describing a new approach adopted by the Civil EngineeringDepartment at Manhattan College to teach and construct the influence lines for indeterminatebeams. The new approach is easy to learn and program, but the mathematical manipulationrequired to obtain a symbolic solution can be too cumbersome. The

For thefinal class grade in the senior design course, the students submitted weekly written reports worth10% of the grade and a project progress report worth 20% of the grade. The students presentedtheir project with an oral project defense at 15% of the grade with an off-campus presentation atan engineering conference or professional society meeting at 5%. The students will also submitthe final written project report at the completion of the course for 15% of the grade.In Table 2, one can see the objectives for developing sound reason and explanation for thestudents to learn.

As a result, laboratories at universities can do more in both the undergraduate educationand graduate level research trainings with limited space and resources. However, for department and researcherslooking to choose the most suitable protoboard, a comparative evaluation is not yet available.
