After Foundation Engineering was over, and the final course grade was out, a“questionnaire” was sent to those who enrolled in the class seeking their opinions, evaluations,and any comment(s) they may wish to offer. Twenty six out of a total of 30 students returned the“questionnaire” on time! The opinions expressed and comments made were, by and large,positive to say the least. After regrouping, and rephrasing to correct the English language; thecomments offered by the ex- students, could be summarized as follows:  The adjunct was easy to approach every time and everywhere, and was always helpful,  His

We wanted to identify teaching strategies and styles that, from the students’perspective, were more effective in ensuring that students could learn, and retain knowledgewhile approving their courses all at the same time. We also wanted to understand the high schoolexperience of students and its usefulness of this background in university life style. Conclusionswere based on the observations made at the focus groups, after the characterization of the results.In section 3 we present a brief review of some of the basic concepts related to cognitive styles,teaching

Various approaches were tried with some success; however,engineering ethics overall has limited exposure in programs and is pushed to the periphery ofengineering education. In 2016, The National Academy of Engineering conducted a call forsubmissions to support an effort to select exemplars of engineering ethics education. This effortyielded 44 submissions from universities throughout the US. Review of the content revealed thatthe submissions ranged from short activities used in engineering courses to multiyear courses ofstudy with the preponderance of work structured in a case study type activity [6].

Developing an interactive learningstyle has become nearly essential to survival in engineering academics and into industry.Peer-Assisted Teaching. The report “Peer Teaching: to Teach is to Learn Twice” informs usthat peer teaching is not a new concept.11 Historically, the Greeks used student leaders asarchons and in the 19th century, English and American schoolmasters used older students to drillyounger students in classrooms. Accordingly, the reasons why peer teaching has developed sucha broad appeal are:Ü Individuals who experience a course as a student and then return to the same course as a

with an internet connection, the problem could be reframed as, “You studiedsomething like this in Mechanics of Materials. If you can’t remember how this works, trylooking it up online.” This often led to considerable discussion among the students as they triedto remember their past courses, debated the merits of various online sources, and checked witheach other and with the instructor about whether a particular approach made sense. Another gooduse of technology was to have them look up sensor specifications on manufacturers’ websites.These specs are often confusing to students who are new to them, and they can be difficult to Page

, and because there is little room in most engineering programsfor additional courses, we believe that numerous attributes will need to be addressed as part ofexisting courses. In order to gain the efficiency needed to cover these additional objectives, insureconsistency and integrate across courses, the entire curriculum needs to be carefully managed andorganized. We have looked at several ways of doing this using computer-based tools, including acurriculum matrix and relational database.

The first is to engage students in engineering problemsstarting in the first semester of the Program, thus providing them with a sense of pride andownership in their work. The second is to prepare students for engineering careers by involvingthem in complex, team projects, which are typically only conducted outside of requiredundergraduate coursework, at the graduate level, or in

In 1812, upon recognizing the need for engineers, USMA changed itscurriculum to educate engineers for the Army and a young nation. In addition to offering a broadvariety of majors, it is still known primarily for its engineering programs.
