It became necessary for engineers to understand the paradigms,metaphors, perspectives, terminology and most importantly, the interfaces amongthe various disciplines with which they were required to integrate their technicalwork. Engineers needed new interpersonal, communication and negotiation skills towork in the new team environment and many companies provided that training.Engineers of the future need to experience working in a team-based environment atthe university and not through many years of on the job osmosis.

studentswithin the classroom if multiple paths are made available to help master the content of thecourse. On the simplest level, this may take the form of asking students what content was unclearat the end of a lecture, and sharing responsibility for the learning of the material by spending afew minutes clarifying those concepts before the period ends. An examination of the function of content suggests that it is ethical to teach less contentin favor of spending a small portion of student energy on self-reflection, helping them to developas learners. When tangential conversations occur about the applications and implications ofcontent in a lecture, instructors recognize these conversations for the valuable learning momentsthat they are, while
and MagnetismIntroductionPhysics subjects are integral to engineering programs, as they provide essential conceptual andanalytical foundations for addressing complex problems in mechanics, electricity, andmagnetism. The importance of physics in engineering education is well-documented,emphasizing its role in developing problem-solving skills and fostering a deep understanding offundamental principles that underpin engineering practices.Integrating physics into engineering curricula is crucial for cultivating analytical skills that arevital for tackling real-world engineering challenges. Studies have shown that students' self-perceptions of their abilities in mathematics and science significantly influence their success inengineering
from electrical/electronic, mechanical and computerprogramming. The design processes challenge students’ creativity and the ability to applyengineering principles to the design. Also the activities improve the teamwork andcommunication skills.In addition to the classroom teaching/learning, the field trips to the industrial sites and themeetings with engineering professionals help students to link the real world designs andproblems. The outcomes are evaluated and the assessment shows that getting students involvedto the actives improves the students learning. The rate of retention and successful transfer to 4-year school is increased. In this paper, we would like to present some experience in teaching andlearning in engineering

This assessment program, called Experiential Learning(http://www.odu.edu/webroot/orgs/ao/clt/explearn.nsf), resides in the university as a separateacademic entity, and provides a mechanism for the formal evaluation of a student’s workplaceknowledge and experience. Old Dominion, with its large returning adult population on theNorfolk campus and at its other sites, recognizes that learning takes place in many settings andthat a substantial number of students re-enter the college classroom with a significant amount ofcollege level skills and knowledge. The University believes that what these students havelearned in the workplace could very well apply to their degree programs. Experiential Learningworks closely with program faculty and

. A word of caution is calledfor when setting up undergraduate research projects that would probably take more thantwo semesters of work; projects that could reasonably be considered to be master thesiswork; projects that involve much pure theoretical mechanics. Such projects are hugelyimportant and meritorious, but the mentor should be prepared for a long termcommitment with the student in these cases. Ideally, if a junior level student could befound to take on such projects, then the relationship could carry over to his or her senioryear. More will be said about identifying such students later in this paper.Suggestions for delimiting projects: The following suggestions are guidelines that may help faculty members indelimiting
