The remaining one-third of bachelor degree recipients get no further degree and go directly into the workforce;three-quarters find a position that can be classified as having some sort of scientific capacity (thelargest group, about a quarter, in software). Very few (about 2%) go into pre-college education.4Based on these AIP statistics, the following goals for the physics major should be considered

Engineering Education, 2018 New Course Development and Assessment Tools in Automotive Lightweighting TechnologiesAbstractAutomotive industry traditionally has reduced weight primarily by downsizing. Today,the strategy of downsizing vehicle has reached its limits. The OEMs are also facingsubstantial increases in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations in the U.S.and the other global markets. In this context, engineering students need to understandthe underlying contributors that significantly play a role in vehicle Lightweighting. Oneof the main contributors is the appropriate use of a variety of high strength andlightweight materials to meet the mass (weight) targets. Another aspect and a morechallenging issue is that

Even among those professors who have read the literature and are willing to changetheir teaching methods, a barrier to adoption of active learning strategies is the time and effortrequired to develop the classroom activities for a particular course.
