A symbolic mathematics application program (MAPLE) is used for complex calculations and graphing.• Multimedia instructional packagesExploring Chemistry and Introduction to General Chemistry, distributed by Falcon Softwaresupplement the standard chemistry textbook. The lecture and laboratory components of the course are integrated to a much greater extent than in the standard curriculum.• A “hands-on” approach that emphasizes in-class experimentation provides the basis for the physics instruction.

requirements that must bemet, and objectives that must be optimized. From this came the idea for developing a linear, additive, multi-objective model that identifies the objectives that must be considered when designing a curriculum, and containsthe mathematical relationships necessary to quantify the value of a specific curriculum. This paper presents thedetails of this curriculum evaluation model including the objectives, the mathematical equation for eachobjective, and the incorporation of these values into a computer program. The model can be used in theevaluation of various curricula alternatives, and to conduct sensitivity analysis to better understand theirdifferences. OBJECTIVES OF THE MULTI-OBJECTIVE MODEL The

What challenges can teachers/researchers expect while covering complex social justice issues, like disparities in organ transplantation?2. How might this curriculum design (or curriculum in general) more effectively leverage students’ funds of knowledge and foster the development of engineering identity?3. How might authentic engineering practices (e.g., developing models, analyzing data, using math/computational thinking) be further incorporated into learning about the social justice aspects of science topics?We expect these topics to yield productive and engaging

syllabus, which is very ambitious, makes the taskof delivery of education very difficult and thus creates a challenge for which we are preparing ourselves and ourgraduate students, who will, in turn, help the students in the physical and computer laboratories. The difficultiesarise due to the fact that we plan to use equipment and software which are not routinely used in the currentengineering curriculum. These include not only state-of-the-art particle instrumentation for characterization,mixing and flow property measurement, but also image analysis and video animation equipment. We must alsoteach the students the use of associated software. The current curriculum does not have the infrastructure toaccommodate this, and our challenge is to

It was decided among faculty to offer thecertification as the final exam during the second-level graphics course MECET 226 Computer-Aided Design.
