c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Optimizing Your Teaching Load AbstractThe teaching responsibilities of faculty members are worked out with their respectivedepartments and/or colleges. Teaching loads are usually fixed, but individual facultymay have options on how to meet that load. They may choose more or fewer differentcourses, multiple sections of an individual course, a combination of undergraduate andgraduate classes, or a combination of face-to-face and distance-education classes. Onthe assumption that new faculty can learn from the experience of others, a survey wasadministered to faculty from across the country, primarily in engineering

desire for and anaptitude to pursue lifelong learning. Students will need to learn much more beyond their collegeeducation in order to become effective engineers. Very little of that knowledge learned beyonddegree work will come from a classroom environment. Instead they will be seeking newknowledge on their own, learning from publications and research data, citing their ownexperiences, or investigating new ideas collaboratively with other professionals. That style oflearning should, at least at times, be simulated in the classroom so that students can practicelearning without formal instruction and so that they develop a thirst for such learning.There are numerous approaches to achieving active learning in the classroom that have

These two approaches would better integrate the material, rather than having itfragmented. This would also lend itself to a more concurrent engineering approach, therebyinsuring that graduates are more qualified to work in the composites industry.Composites Material Engineering at the Baccalaureate Degree LevelA case for the stand alone composites material engineering program was made by Winona StateUniversity (WSU) in Winona, Minnesota, in 1989.

Therefore it may be that SVC students are more amenable to the concept of reflective writing as a useful exercise.ConclusionThe metacognitive homework policy adapted from SVC for use in a large engineering course at OSUresulted in many good outcomes, although the positive effects were not as strong as when implemented insmaller classes. The success of the policy at both institutions is rooted in the belief that the primarypurpose of homework is for students to practice and develop their problem-solving abilities, and that self-reflection is an important part of this development process. We believe this is key to effective use ofmetacognition in homework, and recommend that others wishing to incorporate similar approaches intheir

With the above stated goals, a sophomoreyear course was redesigned and renamed from “Introduction to Materials Science” to “MaterialsProperties and Design”. The instructor chose to both add additional content and use pedagogies toaddress each of the goals of the newly redesign curriculum. Contemporary ideologies were broughtinto the classroom by adding content at the end of each section to discussion how the topics pre-sented in class were applicable to existing and new real-world applications. A materials agnosticapproach was implemented by utilizing the integrated version of the Callister textbook.1

TWC courses are typically taught insophomore and junior year, and their curricular placement supports more technical lab-basedcourses and senior design courses.
