While it is true that astudent’s exposure to diversity subjects is dependent on the inclinations of the teachersinvolved, it has also been observed that at COTA a significant portion of the faculty doparticipate or encourage participation in diversity programs (2003 survey shows about20-25% [1]). Outside the classroom, such events as international food fairs, paneldiscussions, guest speakers, multicultural movies etc. all play a role in creating anatmosphere that fosters openness and tolerance on campus.

In addition I made some inquiries as to how otherdepartments within our college, as well as other chemical engineering departments with largeundergraduate populations, managed their undergraduate advising.

been used for adecade to help determine if students are really grasping the underlying physics principles; manydifferent engineering disciplines are now borrowing the idea of concept inventories. Just inTime Teaching (JiTT) is another concept that could greatly benefit the engineering educationalcommunity.Only recently has the JiTT concept been reported in the engineering educational literature(2,3).Freshman physics lays so much of the foundation for engineering dynamics that it only seemsnatural to borrow some of the innovative work done in physics education for mechanicspurposes. In order to help facilitate this process, we will first provide an introduction to the basiccomponents of JiTT and its underlying educational theories. Examples of

more serious long-term challengeof the four environmental impact areas mentioned.Many papers concerned with various aspects of the teaching of environmental engineering and ofthe use of the study of environmental engineering to expose students to other more generalaspects of engineering are available6-11. These papers are typical of those in this area and aregiven here purely as examples of papers in what is now quite a well-visited field. However, noneof the available papers appears to deal with the use of studies of the environmental impact ofcivil aviation.Course Content and OrganizationA course entitled Environmental Effects of Civil Aviation has recently been developed. Thiscourse mainly consists of sections on: (i) an introduction to the
the world outside of the classroom, and reflection on this for higherorder learning and development of new skills and capabilities. Problem-based Learning (PBL) isan inductive, active learning approach that connects learning to real world problems, andprovides a context in which students can tether their knowledge and internalize courseconcepts. Students are thus motivated to seek out a deeper understanding of the conceptsthey need to address the problems presented in a course.This research focuses on going beyond the technical lecture to enhance the student experiencethrough PBL and experiential education techniques, based on implementation in the RochesterInstitute of Technology’s (RIT) College of Engineering Technology, in courses
