equations highlight different aspects of the phenomena being studied. The most generalform of equation in two variables to arise in applications is the implicit form. But this form maynot be easy to evaluate y given x or to evaluate x given y. It is easy to find the derivative y’(x)for an implicit form but probably it will be implicit also. The direct or inverse form results if theimplicit form can be solved for y or x. Unfortunately the direct form for a closed implicit formmay result in an infinite series, which perhaps may not be easy to understand, ponder orevaluate.Sometimes a variable influences a second variable that in turn controls a third. In such a casethe chain form may be appropriate for describing the composite control. Sometimes

Reversing Table 7- Summary of the Student Lab SurveyConclusionsIn this paper, we described our experience teaching a multidisciplinary course in an EngineeringTechnology program. We described how the redesign of the laboratory component has greatlyenhanced the student learning experience independently of their majors of studies. It wasobserved that activities relating concepts to real world applications were most appealing. Forinstance, students enjoyed performing experiments involving the use of transducers.Assessments results including direct and indirect measurements to meet certain accreditationcriteria were also discussed in this paper. Several lessons learned from this course revisionprocess for in future

An important difference of ESCC from traditional curriculaelsewhere is our program is student-centered. All difficulties in concepts have been researchedand presented below from a student’s learning point of view.Modern computational focus requires mastery of analytical thoughts to properly understand andimprove computational models. There are some mathematical bottlenecks in achieving this featwhich are discussed separately in another paper [4]. The approach requires reinforcingmathematical understanding in parallel with engineering applications. Many examples andattractive demonstrations are necessary before and during active learning

Innovative project-oriented "just-in-time" delivery methodologyhas been implemented in the teaching of this class. Frequent introduction of real-worldapplications and hands-on experiments, which demonstrate the physical principles learned andemphasize the connectivity between heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, iscritical to the success of this integrated approach.

Thisleaves them at a disadvantage both in terms of success in mastering the curriculum and level ofcompetitiveness for internships [1, 2]. As these students move through a typical engineeringcurriculum, a focus on abstract theory and mathematical concepts over physical applications andmeasurable observations will fail to give them the necessary hands-on experience, reducing thechances that the information will be retained over the long term [3]. Students who have specificlearning styles that favor physical experimentation and real-world experience are also left at
