She has taught a course specifically about fuel cells that mixed senior engineering students with students from other disciplines and adult learners (non-engineers). Professor George has also spearheaded several international service-learning projects in Haiti and Mali. These innovative projects included students from the department of Modern and Classical Languages, the communication studies department and the engineering program for an interdisciplinary year-long effort.Yvonne Ng, College of St. Catherine Professor Yvonne

The overall function of a technical system is accomplishedthrough a series of interacting subfunctions attributed to specific components. The systemfunction is to transform specified inputs into expected outputs. Inputs and outputs are treated asflows of either: material, energy, or information. Each of the engineering disciplines uses theprinciples of functional analysis in development of their specific technological domains.

Monitoring student learning in largeclassrooms is a challenge. It’s a challenge because as the number of students increase it isdifficult to keep track of learning styles and success of all students.Secondly, in traditional classrooms, there is a student-teacher interaction which helps theteacher identify the students' learning style.
