The lecture-based format of teaching, which predominates inengineering education, may not be best to achieve these technical learning goals2.Through the lecture method, an instructor introduces students to course work byproducing notes on a chalkboard or overhead projector. The instructor then hopes thatstudents can regurgitate this collected information on their homework or exams. Someclasses, if students are lucky, have accompanied laboratory practices where they can gainhands-on

success in a “cluster” approach includes but goes beyond the successin them finding a good job in their chosen field. To me, though success in highereducation is hard to measure, there are two goals that are worth driving toward. The firstgoal is a more or less impersonal simple acquisition of knowledge. We want our studentsto “know more” facts, have better skills in problem solving, to have come into contactwith more ideas, and to be deeper thinkers. Progress toward this goal is traditionallyachieved through lectures and labs or through discussions with the professor in the officeusing conventional education methods. We measure the success of reaching this goal byhomework scores, test scores, and report scores. The results here indicate that

It was observed that increasingthe polymer concentration beyond 1% would be counter-intuitive to optimize and reduce fiberdiameter. With large molecular weight, it would not be optimal to have a higher concentration,as this would most definitely lead to a higher surface tension and viscosity, preventingappropriate Taylor cone
