programs are preferable (Harb et al., 1997). This decision seems todepend in general of two factors: the instructor, and the course main topic.Despite the technical advances in operating systems, and the development of graphical user interfacesthat simplify the use of complex simulation packages, the controversy is still unresolved. Thetechnological advances in new or alternative processes to deal with new financial, technical,environmental, and/or social issues impose new demands on instructors and course curricula. Indeed,while the total credits to obtain a Chemical Engineering degree has remained practically constant, asteadily increasing demand for supplementary material has been observed in courses coveringfundamental Chemical Engineering

The goal of this course is to provide the student with competency-based,hands-on learning that supports a systems approach to team problem solving and decisionmaking while improving a process. A prerequisite course introduces students to theconcepts of teams, team building and development, and basic human behavior.

Engineering departments, must cover so manytopics that the student has almost no time to digest the material presented. Looking at two of themost popular texts in fluid mechanics [5, 7], topics presented begin with hydrostatics, followedby an introductory treatment of viscous flows. Internal and external flows are examined next,then potential (inviscid) flows and compressible flows. The books conclude with a chapter onturbomachinery. There is absolutely no way for an instructor to cover this much material withequal thoroughness. Thus choices must be made as to which topics to emphasize. These choicesare often made based on the background of the professor, or the perceived career needs of themajority of the students. Proceedings of

’ University Level Academicians in K-12 Education Our small group of engineering faculty began this program because one of us(Oakley) had had her own two children enrolled in Kumon mathematics for nearly tenyears. The simplicity and efficacy of the Kumon curricular materials, along withPontiac’s willingness to try a promising program, and Kumon, North America’s diligentsupport, are what inspired us to use this program to begin revitalizing mathematicseducation in the Pontiac School District. It was felt that if Pontiac’s students coulddevelop mathematical confidence, independence, knowledge of computation and basicmath facts, at an elementary school level, they could have more meaningful success inmathematics long term.

a great conductor of energy, has a high meltingpoint, and is resistant to corrosion; however, copper has a high density, which hinders theefficiency of the cooling system with its heavier weight. Due to its heavy weight, copper was notused in the engine cooling system. On the other hand, magnesium is a poor conductor of energy,has a lower boiling point (compared to the rest of the metals evaluated), and is susceptible tocorrosion. Positively, magnesium has a very low density, but it lacks in all other areas measured;thus, it was not used in the experiment. Furthermore, steel has a very high melting point but issusceptible to corrosion, is a poor conductor, and has a high density; hence, steel was not usedfor the engine cooling system

integrated nature of the gun tube project laboratory, design, and computer modeling activities significantly reduced the overall amount of time students spent familiarizing themselves with problem domains. As a result, the students had more time to devote to analysis and solution. To reinforce the importance of this effort and to assist in generating student interest, nearly 30°/0 of the course grade was assigned for this project. The mechanical engineering faculty strongly feel that every opportunity for students to become involved in practical, hands-on learning experiences should be fully exploited. Such exposure enriches the students and better prepares them for the actual practice of their profession upon graduation. The

Existing research on IBL has found that these pedagogiesimprove student affect, self-efficacy, and academic performance [5–7]. Still, inquiry learning approachesremain understudied in computer science education, especially at the college level. In this research study, we draw on IBL strategies in the process of teaching students new programminglanguages. To do so, we also draw on second language acquisition literature (SLA), which we contendshares many parallels with the learning of new
