simple, superficial learning approach through anumber of techniques. For instance, using inductive teaching methods8, where students learnthrough somewhat large problems or projects, can stimulate a class. Also active learning8, suchas where students lead discussions regarding homework solutions, can motivate a deep approachto learning. Cooperative learning8 can be useful as well, where class projects, working togetheron homework, or collective discussions of topics and underlying principles. For the polymerengineering course there are opportunities for all of these approaches. Students must frequentlydiscuss their homework solutions as well as the underlying theory and physics related to theproblem. Collaboration also often occurs through these

The advantages and disadvantages of globalization have been heavily scrutinized anddebated in recent years. Proponents of globalization say that it helps developing nations “catchup” to industrialized countries much faster through increased employment and technologicaladvances. Critics of globalization say that it weakens national sovereignty and allows richnations to ship domestic jobs overseas where labor is much cheaper and as a result onlyincreasing profits for multinational companies.

Detailed learning objectives for all MET courses arepublished to help insure consistency between geographically separate locations. Despite the close collaboration, there is a large amount of variation between thelaboratory facilities at the different sites. The MET program at the main West Lafayette has thelargest enrollment, which justifies more extensive laboratory facilities and technician support.The six smaller MET programs at the other statewide locations do not have the resources toduplicate all the experimental equipment.
