Engineering Education, 2006 Five Surprises – The Key to Reengineering The Traditional QuizAbstractMost professors use quizzes as a method of keeping students focused on their responsibility tolearn the course content. With the potential of a quiz looming, the consequences of coming toclass unprepared serves as motivation to students to do their homework and the assignedreadings. This method is negative rather than positive reinforcement, and is not as effective as itcould possibly be for student learning. In previous research, working alone and quizzing wereranked lowest in terms of preferred classroom learning.1Part of the problem lies in the fact that traditional quizzing methods are

Design software has become so powerful that a novice can conduct sophisticated analyseswithout knowing very much about the details or limitations of the analysis process.While it is important for engineering schools to educate students about the use of computer-aideddesign tools, they must also ensure that the students have a basic understanding of the underlyingprinciples upon which these computer programs are based. Striking a balance between teachingthe fundamentals and giving the students hands-on experience with the technology continues to bea challenge. The real benefit in introducing the
