The attempt to seamless integrate (some would say “sneak up on the student”) theengineering problem or life situation into a cultural setting,2. The clear references to names and dates in a readable style that is done in a writingstyle that is less of the sterile engineering that is often found in technical papers and textsand more of a common language.3. The action item(s) at the end of the Case Study presentation that attempts to have thestudent study or at least appreciate the human or social content of the situation as well asengineering content.4

In this model, “alibrarian spends one class session, often in an English composition or a study skills class, teachingstudents how to use the online catalog and electronic periodical databases necessary to complete aclass assignment” [11]. While this model is popular, Anderson & May point out that, “one classperiod is inadequate

THE NATURE OF THE PARTICLE SURFACE There are many physical and chemical measurements, which are descriptive of the nature of a particle system. The use of the term "particle system" implies the existence of a finely divided particle phase in a continuous phase. The particle phase is generally one of finely divided solids or liquids and the continuous phase is a liquid such as water, an organic such as alcohol, or an oily liquid such as a

The demand to get back to normal academic life is considerable for Engineering students. 2. Hybrid is an acceptable teaching mode in abnormal pandemic circumstances. The nature of flexibility and accessibility of hybrid teaching has attracted more preference from off- campus students who need to commute a long distance. 3.

The Springsession was physically taught from two locations at COD: the main studio and the library. Although,there was a good support from COD’s television department, it was difficult to present the coursebecause no computer (with appropriate software) was available and equipment, such as oscilloscopes,had to be transported. However, in the Fall, modules 1-3 and 1-4 were taught using Polycomtechnology that was placed in one of COD’s electronics classrooms. This was indeed a greatimprovement.
