Statistics are used to assess the effectiveness of their criteria and weighting system,and the feedback provides a means to improve their skills. In a second example, a CAD/CAM class is organized into ‘companies’ which assign jobdescriptions, get RFP’s, create proposals, and carry out a phase II contract.

needing to receive a foundation in areas related to engineering before theycome to college, professionals in our field need to ask the following questions; what is the role of engineering designgraphics in this new curricula approach? How is engineering graphics viewed by those organizations that aredeveloping materials in pre-engineering and what are the expected outcomes? Also, is there research that supportsour task as engineering graphics educators to become involved in this new curricula initiative in secondaryeducation and how will this national effort effect the students we will have in our classes once they chose to attendcollege. Although many of these questions can only be answered in theoretical terms, a foundation of history andwhat

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5. Engineering education is often based on precedent; it is slow to accept change, especially relative to liberal arts

. Unfortunately, active learning is often linked with reduced student evaluations and lowersstudent perception of professor competence [10]. For tenure-track faculty some caution should be taken innew module development when considering these external factors. In order for a semester-long project tobe implemented successfully, the instructor must provide organized content with clear rubrics, templatesand schedules. Despite its challenges, active learning approaches can have major beneficial impact onstudent outcomes.The project goals should align closely with course material and promote student engagement.

These technology management courses are lecture courses which canbe delivered on line (web-based) using the current modes of presentation, such asBlackboard. At CSUF, the university provides assistance in converting traditional lecturecourses into web-based courses. Of course there are university faculty reviews and approvalsneeded to make sure the courses are adapted properly. This is a point at which critics of on-line education raise concerns about the quality of the courses. Their concern is that programquality is not sacrificed for expedience.The most difficult section to deliver on line is the technical core.

While the textbook problems reinforce well-structured problem-solving skills, theydon't provide the skills needed to tackle ill-defined problems. The authors argued the need forincluding ill-structured problems and concluded that "Habituating students to solve ill-structuredproblems will better prepare them to think like engineers."Ha and Fang [3] argue that spatial abilities, which engineering educators often overlook, play avital role in learning engineering mechanics.

To address these needs, research is being conducted todevelop novel micro turbomachinery systems that are small, lightweight, fuel efficient, andportable.

As a result, we walked a fine line in being too discipline specific and in 4presenting ideas too complex for some students to fully understand. To attempt to moreeffectively deliver material to this diverse audience, we used a variety of teaching methods:traditional lecture, in-class discussion, in-class writing exercises, multi-media presentations, andbreaking into smaller sections of approximately 15 students each when the subject warranted it.This diversity of pedagogical
