learningcourse had to measure up in all ways with a normal ENTC CAD course with no loss of contentor quality. The project pushed communication software and video conferencing hardware to theirlimits but proved to the faculty’s satisfaction that it is possible to adapt ENTC courses to distancelearning. Moreover, the project launched the faculty into a flurry of development, proposalwriting, and marketing. By waiting until the right time, the Engineering TechnologiesDepartment was able to enter the distance learning world in a way that has improved programquality and made the department a leader at Southwest.Bibliography1.

recently been through a similartraining program was a good thing, too. Sort of a bridge between the newbies and thementor. Most of the ground rules of the critiquing itself were unspoken, and I don’t thinkneed to be laid out explicitly for a self-selected group. Honesty and the criticism of whatthe person did, not of the person, were both followed by all participants as I remember.Three things about me that made me go to the short course:1. Wanted to get a head start on the teaching part of my tenure package. I have muchmore experience with research than with teaching.2. Had some rotten teachers myself as an undergraduate and decided that teaching is animportant part of the university mission and I wanted to do better.3. My one semester of

Instead, having grown up in a world connectedby smart phones to the vast array of information on the internet, they want to have control of theway they receive information. Accordingly, active learning strategies put students at the center ofthe learning process. In doing so, they become more engaged in the classroom and increase theiruptake of knowledge.References 1.

Because the focus of this activity hasbeen on the exploration of the available solution space, a unique screening process has beenemployed to assess the implication of (a) the mission, (b) hardware/technology selection, and (c)the operational scenarios on key research objectives to be defined.The study concludes that a Capsule + Descent Propulsion Module
