Confident students are able to do this but many students donot know how to find and distill the information down to the principles required to solveproblems. Probably the most important challenge is to develop methods that students can use toorganize, synthesize and incorporate selected information into their knowledge base. Thisincludes finding relevant information pathways and tools such as books, technical articles,review articles, patents, encyclopedias, handbooks and on-line data bases as well as determiningthe right

The demonstrations are integrated into a combined lecture/lab format and also can beutilized at various points in the curriculum as well as to pre-college students.

First-year students will not start co-op jobs for some time, but a course in design, with hands-on elements and real-worldconsiderations can help bring their choice into practical focus. One of the first courses requiredfor incoming freshmen is Engineering Design. The curriculum and vision for this course wasconceived in a large part by Professor Gerard Voland, who also authored the textbook for thiscourse (Voland, 2004).
