However, they onlypartially grasp the theory that underlies the laboratory procedure. During his specificteaching experience, the

These steps include: “Rethink” students–faculty future roles beyond the egocentric model building with the precept that the ideal educational output and the ideal student is one just like me! Widen the discussion and seek feed back from past and present students, research sponsors, and/or industrial clients. Identify customers’ needs on two fronts, their future manpower needs, and the support services that they are likely to require (e.g. technical consultation, applied research, testing, monitoring, setting standards, etc.), now and in the future. Reorganize internally in order
