Theseinterdisciplinary courses are being developed in a modular format integrating scientific andtechnology information from a variety of disciplines. These modules can be incorporated intoexisting or newly developed courses. One module is for allied health professionals to learn aboutcyberinfrastructure for healthcare management. The other module focuses on human migration,which introduces engineering education to the undergraduate students from humanities and socialsciences.

students would likely balk at the idea ofincorporating more testing. This is largely due to the way quizzes, tests, and examinations arecommonly used. Their application is often limited to one of assessment. Unfortunately, much ofthe disdain associated with these types of activities is based on the level of stress and energyinvolved. As such, the natural disposition of some students and teachers is to avoid the inclusionof more tests because of the negative associations [2]. Unfortunately, this avoidance causes manyto dispense with a powerful enabler in helping students not only perform better on assessmentsbut grasp the material more effectively. The key is proper incorporation during the learningprocess. Fortunately, research has added greater

An academic needed to make an announcement to the first year class, so she asked the lecturer in charge, who happened to be the dean of the faculty, if Page 3.485.3 she could visit the class on a particular day. The dean’s response: ‘Well, I don’t expect there’ll be many people there - it’s just the lecture on ethics that day’.Underlying message: Ethics isn’t a high priority

Problems are presented without specifying the inputs needed for the solution. Thestudent then applies the deductive approach to lead them to identify for themselves which inputsare required to solve the problem. Although the problems are open-ended the method providesthe structure the student needs to break a large problem into manageable pieces.The deductive approach begins by determining how the objective of the problem can bequantified.
