Specifically, that the learning is student-centered and occurs in small groups; teachersare facilitators or guides; problems are the focus and stimulus for learning the technical content;problem-solving process skills are developed through the problem; and new information isacquired through self-directed learning.

(2) Embed a community of practice in existing structures and norms, such as facultymeetings. Be creative in bringing discussions of teaching into such spaces. (3) Developmultidimensional measures of student assets, growth, and development. Staying only withmeasures of progress on conceptual learning misses much about students' development aschemical engineers.

material.A specific example of this general problem lies in the integrated student understanding ofcomputer-based computational tools that support technical problem solving. Generalcomputational environments such as MATLAB, MathCad, and Mathematica are all versatile andcapable. But because of the varied background training of engineering faculty, most engineeringfaculty have individually learned one or another of these computational environments. Typicalundergraduate engineering curricula thus reflect professor preference in the designation ofspecific computational tools to be used to complete student problem sets and projects. Theimplicit assumption has been that undergraduate engineering students can simply “pick up” aspecified computational tool
