It helps that each project hassignificant similarities, and thus the next project can build upon and extend ideas andmethodologies from prior projects.

Of those behaviors that result from high teacher efficacy, many studentslook for indications that the TA puts effort into teaching, teaches with clarity and organization,will support students through difficulty, and demonstrates enthusiasm. Although mentioned byfewer students, other valued teacher efficacy behaviors that emerge from this study includerefraining from criticizing student mistakes or knowledge gaps, preparing adequately for class,being willing to experiment instructionally, facilitating small-group work, and being fair.

In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1991), “Toteach is to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, thereal challenge in college teaching today is not covering

In Step 4, the students are required to expand the analysis, synthesis, evaluation applications used in Step 3 under conditions of fewer constraints. The ideal situation is to move to a real-world engineering design that requires not only technical analysis and synthesis, but evaluation of technical, environmental and Page 15.90.3 social quality.
