I do not purport to suggest that such a model would workeverywhere, nor that it is even feasible everywhere given budgetary and time constraints.Rather it is a suggestion that should be adapted to meet the culture, resources, andinterests of individual institutions.Typical GSI training programs often include some form of presemester orientationworkshop and/or occasional courses or seminars on theory, lab supervision, practiceteaching, videotape critiques and help for

The paper goeson to point out that taking a pedagogy course and serving a teaching internship during graduateschool closely parallels the procedures used to prepare graduate students to do research. Wankatand Oreowicz12 observe that engineering students have proven to be very reluctant to takecourses from the College of Education. Students in engineering do not subscribe in significantnumbers.

] suggested: Newly-recruited engineering graduates are used in a wide range of job roles. Whilst research and development, design and production/manufacturing are the most relevant activities within the sample studied, engineering graduates are to be found across the product lifecycle and throughout the value chain. As a result, many graduate engineers are likely to find themselves in roles which do not necessarily involve hands-on specialist engineering. To fill these roles engineering firms look for skills and attributes in two broad areas. The first is a set of defining skills that are unique to the engineer and which encompass the domain of technical skills. These include a sound knowledge of the engineering

Also, a new Applications of FiniteElements course has been developed solely for our ME students, in parallel with the existingtheory-based course for research-focused students. While still grounded in fundamentalprinciples, a major goal of the course is to explore the limitations of existing commercialsoftware packages, particularly in the nonlinear range, and explore how to utilize those toolswhen stability concerns or nonlinear behavior are

But, as experienceand research on “How people Learn” shows, it is not easy to change someone’s mind. Therefore,despite the fact that we study these laws, known as Newton’s laws of Motion, for many years,students fall back to their intuitive (Aristotelian) understanding of them.This year, the author started teaching a somewhat unique course called “Scientific Foundationsof Engineering,” to graduate engineering students with at least three years of work experiencewho are enrolled in The Gordon Engineering Leadership Program at Northeastern
