In addition, alaboratory section was offered to provide hands on experience in hooking up, calibrating,conducting tests, and reducing the data using various sensors. Currently, two sections of theclass, “Electrical Instrumentation for Civil Engineers” are offered each term. There are twolecture periods and one 3-hour lab per week.

The computer and telecommunication revolution places technocrats in closer more direct contact with internal workers, suppliers, competitors, and clients. Moreover, the recent significant shift of U.S. companies towards a more service-oriented global network and changing scenarios demand engineers who are capable of assuming the multiple role of technology experts with efficient management skills. However, academic institutions have not focused on the increased need for a more integrated approach to educational training for our engineering scientists to cope with their emerging roles.

The students in this course are generally toldin a highly abstract manner by the textbook or instructor that the principle of superposition is notapplicable to nonlinear systems, that procedures of finding the solutions of nonlinear dynamicsproblems are extremely complex, or even that nonlinear dynamics is a subject beyondundergraduate engineering curricula.

It is a course which covers a variety of topics all designed to improve thelaboratory skills of the students and to satisfy ABET Criterion 3 outcomes. The course isvery time intensive and the students are asked to use their communication skills to a highdegree. Students are exposed to various laboratory methods of measurement of basicfluid flow, temperature and pressure. A variety of laboratory tools are used from basicmanometers to sensitive micromanometers, hot-wires, and calibration-quality pressuretransducers. The end result is increased student skills which leads to confidence in theirabilities as they graduate and pursue careers. Assessment tools are also discussed in

This tool was developed over a three yearperiod of teaching engineering courses at Auburn University.INTRODUCTIONA search of the literature and presentations at education conferences turns up many referencesconcerning teaching and learning styles. As educators, these are vital areas in which we must betrained. There is much of value for us in these subject areas. Our students may not appreciate ourpreparedness, but if they learn, we will have succeeded in our charge to educate them.In the proceedings of the 1996 ASEE Conference, for instance, there were papers dealing with avariety of topics, such as new faculty orientations1, with the
inrecent years and the GPA rise is deserved based on merit. Other educators would offer data thatdoes not support those claims.The fundamental question that is most often discussed relates to the significance of awarding agrade of ‘A’. Does the ‘average student’ of today receive a grade of ‘C’? If so, why is a studentwith a 2.00 average (i.e. a ‘C’ average) on the verge of academic probation? Does the studentwho demonstrates competency in a given topic deserve an ‘A’? They got nearly all of theanswers correct on the vast majority of the graded assignments, so what grade do they deserve?What differentiates competency from mastery? If competency is rewarded with an ‘A’, howdoes one reward the truly exceptional students who demonstrate excellence in
