The IPRO experienceprovides students with practical applications in the areas of teamwork, problem solving,innovation, leadership, communication, and other valuable professional skills. Themultidisciplinary teams offer students the opportunity to communicate and collaborate withstudents from other majors (such as engineering, computer science, architecture, science andbusiness), drawing from their knowledge, in order to complete the objectives of the project

,differences in students‟ health and moods on given days, as well as differences in the teststhemselves possibly play significant roles in this overall outcome. On the other hand, because ofits relatedness to the course material, the post-test may indicate that students‟ betterunderstanding of the fundamental principles of the scenario that was presented in the test as aresult of their having studied the material in MATH 131 enabled them to exercise better criticalthinking skills.To attempt comparing differences in students‟ critical thinking performances on similar types oftasks, we tallied numbers of students who missed each particular type of post-test question, aswas done for the pre-test in Table 2 above.

science electives. One alternative would be to require certain courses that coverthe desired materials, but that defeats some of the advantages of attending a large school, specificallythe ability to tailor a program to one’s interests. In addition, there is the problem of getting classroomassessment from faculty who are not in the engineering or technology department that is beingaccredited. In view of these problems, I believe that the technical courses in the curriculum shouldcontribute to the teaching and assessment of the soft-skills. In particular, some of these topics can betaught using material that is germane to the technical course.I teach a course titled, “Electrical Power and Controls,” in the Electrical Engineering TechnologyProgram

The art of writing essays, summaries and reflection are most often practiced in non-engineering departments such as art, social sciences, business, etc. The majority of the engineeringcurriculum on the other hand is designed to train students to perform design and analysis and doesnot provide enough emphasis on communicating a student’s learning process. It is scientificallyproven that by transforming thoughts into written words, the meta-cognition is increased throughformation of new neural networks in the encephalon which results in long-term memory [10]. It isalso proven that writing can enhance critical

The changes needed to handle the 80% of our students who willreturn from internship in September 1999 are discussed.1.

The IFAT system has been used in many classrooms and been shown toreduce student anxiety in high-pressure testing situations [14].However, IFAT forms and truly immediate feedback’s impact on student learning is called intoquestion based on research in the cognitive sciences. Recent work shows that immediate feedbackmay not be helpful in long-term retention. In an online quiz, simply altering the delay betweenbetween entering a response and viewing the correct answer by four to twelve seconds was foundto improve long term retention when compared to
