Thesesophomore level courses lead into three upper division courses already in place. This duality(Breadth plus Depth Pedagogy) is reinforced in senior laboratory (ChE 415), through whichstudents synthesize both aspects in their capstone project, and potentially through their HonorsCollege thesis.

leadership roles in complex, multi-disciplinary projects. The emphasis is on meeting all customer requirements in the broadestsense – including the quality, technical, schedule, financial, legal/environmental, ethical,international, and customer satisfaction aspects. Our graduates will be able to integrate acrosstechnical and business disciplines to creatively design affordable solutions to a wide varietyof problems. The program’s techniques will lead to shorter product development cycles andlower life-cycle costs.LMU’s commitment to ethics will be built into the SELP with an integrated approach todeveloping and practicing ethical strategies in solving problems and integrating/managingprojects

The domestic student provides mentoring on the sametopics for the project in the United States. Specifically, graduate students guide the studentsduring the collection and selection of pertinent literature, provide their expertise on the designcomponent of the two projects, and help the undergraduate students to evaluate the global issuesrelated to their projects. In addition, graduate students could provide information to theundergraduate students on non-technical issues such as presentation or writing skills, work-lifeissues, career or graduate school information.LecturesTwo lectures are devoted

Unfortunately, because the HU/COM instructors are supplementingthe engineering instructors, the HU/COM instructors have typically only been granted 1 or 2teaching units (i.e., half credit or less), while the engineering instructor is granted 3 or 4 teachingunits (i.e., full credit). Because HU/COM instructors usually attend every class period and stayfor most if not all of every class, and because they spend countless hours each week reviewingstudent papers in these writing-intensive senior design courses, it has been

The goals of our collaboration were to fosterstudents’ control, awareness and demonstration of learning, improve student informationliteracy, and cultivate students’ negotiations with team members. We use the term “distributedcognition” to describe virtual interactions among students that led to fulfilling the goals of thelinked assignment. Students’ information literacy skills “funded” the pool of knowledge forstudent teams to access as they address the problems posed by their assignment to build apresentation.DefinitionsInformation literacy (also known as information fluency) is an umbrella concept

factor and a center forinnovations, the University sought not only to bring in a faculty from all over the globe [3] butalso to be a location which would have a focus on the educational process.This has required both a needs analysis in order to quickly develop and train international andlocal faculty and admin on current best practices in teaching as well as a shift towards practice-based learning. This move was supported by a team composed of faculty and admin and did notrequire recourse to a specialized center for teaching and learning but utilized the servicerequirement from the faculty and current resources in the University, making for a meaningfulchange with little cost.

These effects are as good as or better than theeffects of a teacher assessment.”3 Although some researchers may disagree, McGourty,Dominick, and Reilly also conclude that “student self and peer ratings can be consistent withfaculty perceptions of student performance.”4 In essence, students, with a modicum of training,can effectively gauge the work of their classmates and benefit from that type of evaluation,especially in the formative stages.The technical
