However, thepositive results shown for developing innovation and efficiency must transfer beyond theclassroom to have lasting impact.Do CBI learning experiences place learners on a trajectory towards demonstratingadaptive expertise in the workplace, after they have left the classroom?

Faculty perceive the present system to focus on disciplinaryresearch and publication; this focus must be expanded to include teaching, research, advising,and service in a way that includes all faculty as valued colleagues.” Other recommendations dealwith the diversity of the educational experience and call for a focus on more than just technicalinformation and also call for more rigorous assessment to judge the contributions of bothindividual faculty and entire university systems.

Therefore, educational and professional goalshave to be redefined and adapted from time to time to accommodate the changes in thesevariables.

Abstract This paper highlights recent developments in the creation and implementation ofeducational modules for the instruction of probability modeling and simulation in secondaryeducation. Each module consists of a collaboratively produced self-contained DVD thatdescribes real-world applications of probability concepts. When implemented in a problemsolving group setting, the modules create a knowledge-based environment for student learning,as is described in the How People Learn research compilation of the National Research Council.The concepts that are learned through the modules coincide with those set forth by the NationalCouncil of Teachers of Mathematics for 9-12 year secondary education students, which include1. the use of simulation

Indeed, the Proceedings of that meeting containa number of history-related papers in virtually every division. Reading the Grayson history orany of the many history-related papers in the 1993 ASEE Annual Proceedings illustrates justhow profound and continuous change has been in engineering education.
