stripinvolving advanced plasma techniques. Again the lead Engineer here is arenowned physicist. I would therefore suggest that engineering educationinnovations should also involve some interdisciplinary approaches.4. Conclusion:The technologies are bound to evolve with time based on better modelingtechniques. Intricate sound principles are sure to be explored. Therefore, wemust teach fundamentals of physics, chemistry and mathematics rigorouslyand demonstrate continually, how the state-of-art technologies are based onthese fundamentals. This is the cardinal philosophy of Innovation inEngineering Education including interdisciplinary approaches to somereasonable extent.I am convinced however, that innovations in engineering education must becarried out

ofinstructors who have taught or are currently teaching M&I has grown to five (four professors andone post-doc). To overcome barriers to faculty adoption, we have used variations on anapprenticeship model. We convinced two new faculty hires, both of whom would be teachingIntro Physics for the first time, to teach M&I courses (one in Spring 07, one in Fall 07). Onemember of the research team—an experienced M&I instructor—also taught an M&I course inthe same semester, and worked closely with the new faculty members on course content andlogistics. In summer 2007, another member of our research team co-taught an M&I-based IntroPhysics II (electromagnetism) course with a veteran professor who did not have M&I experience.Grant money

Nor does the research shed light on how wellstudents satisfy expectations of their faculty members. Therefore, this gap motivates the researchdescribed in the following sections.MethodsTo determine expectations of engineering faculty for the knowledge of physics mechanics andskill in applying this knowledge that students in their course should have to be successful, theauthors identified a core, required, sophomore-level engineering science course in themechanical engineering curriculum

However, we also noticed that there are side effects, and the CAD software canalso be a distraction to some students.5There are two different approaches in achieving proficiency in an area: The first is the externalapproach by getting familiar with various experimental results, and the second is the internalapproach by deriving theorems from the fundamental principles. The first approach was engagedin research and discovery, while the latter one is emphasized in teaching, as it is much moreefficient. The advancement in physics is accompanied by the progress of

Theinitial contact with this new reality in their lives is crucial to future success, revealing a greatimportance for personal and professional development and creating tight bonds with positiveinfluence on dropout rates. These challenges led to the decision to implement a new socio-pedagogical project called GOIS (from Damião de Góis, a prominent Portuguese andEuropean renaissance man). It introduced important innovations and new strategiesinvolving computer-student interaction during teaching-learning processes. Problem-solvingskills are fundamental tools for the future engineer; so, the goal is to improve those tools andcoach the student in a rational way. A

This approach frees time forinstructors to emphasize concepts instead of procedures and helps students to master theunderlying science of their engineering disciplines with greater confidence and efficacy. Thispaper presents a comparative study between a traditional approach to teaching engineeringphysics, and an innovative approach that uses the computer software EES (acronym forEngineering Equation Solver), to convey concepts and principles of physics by minimizingmathematical manipulation and computational burden associated with the practice of problem-solving.
