Strategies for Transfer Engineering Programs (CALSTEP). CALSTEP is a three-yearproject funded by the National Science Foundation through the Improving Undergraduate STEMEducation (IUSE) Program, and one of its main objectives is to develop laboratory courses thatare delivered either completely online, or with limited face-to-face interaction. The onlinelaboratory courses developed include Introduction to Engineering13, Engineering Graphics14,Materials Science15, Circuits16, and MATLAB Programming. Each of the three partnerinstitutions is responsible for developing curriculum for a specific set of courses, and thecurriculum materials developed are shared, piloted and tested at the three sites.

Many hold the view that active learning methods may be appropriate for “soft”disciplines, but are inappropriate for engineering and the sciences. Others argue that studentswon’t take the course work seriously and that coverage of material would have to be sacrificed.The presenters will question the validity of these objections by defining learning goals, such asdepth of learning, engagement, and retention, that should be considered during selection ofteaching methods.

He insists that the Christianscholar not summarily dismiss or ignore what they know from their metaphysic, andshould not be concerned that their contribution isn’t accepted simply because of itspresuppositional commitments. The absence of universal acceptance does not imply thatthe result is not true knowledge, and that knowledge might only be attained reasonably byworking from that metaphysical base. For the engineering educator, this distinction is particularly valuable because ourscholarship is mostly in domains where the Duhemian is most appropriate.
