Detailed review of the notes andtexts used by previous instructors, and detailed discussion, produced some common guidance:1. Absenteeism was a major cause for student demoralization. Depending on their sense of responsibility was insufficient: they had to be told that as part of an engineering organization, they were expected to show up on time, every day. Enforcing this was still a problem.2. Introduce more visuals, classroom demonstrations of technology, and ndustry contact to the class: this motivated many students.3.
