the summer of 2013 at Oregon Instituteof Technology (also known as Oregon Tech). The purpose of the course was to introducestudents with engineering, medical technology, computing technology, and managementbackgrounds to the concepts, techniques, knowledge, and perspectives that diverse fields ofstudy (such as classical literature, mathematics, and cognitive psychology) can contribute to theirtechnical careers and to their lives as informed citizens.1The design of the course drew on the instructor’s prior teaching experiences of a number ofgeneral-education courses at a sister institution in the Oregon state system, principally drawingfrom a standard critical-thinking course described below in the section “Course Design andHistory.”The pilot

because it is a key component of the ability to play an instrument, manipulate rawmaterials in pottery, sculpture, or painting, and the use of technological tools in the high-techarts. Likewise, dexterity is also a necessary skill for engineers, though this may not be obvious.Engineers are primarily high-level thinkers, but in the competition for best time-to-market, thereare occasions when even a design engineer must engage in hands-on activities typicallyassociated with technicians: soldering, de-soldering, taking measurements, carrying outdiagnostics, or making repairs. In fact, the dexterity to carry out such manual tasks, whennecessary, informs an engineer’s design practice by contributing first-hand knowledge of thephysical facets of work

The emerging curriculum proposal is designed toemphasize: (1) Application of theoretical concepts through real world case studies drawn fromthe diverse engineering fields, (2) The use of multiple instructional delivery strategies thatinclude lectures, laboratory work, online instruction, and multimedia delivery, and (3) Tutorialsupport for students.Section 2

regarding computer trash are fertile ground for exploration in all engineering curricula,since the technology is an essential tool of the profession. In addition to providing readings andleading discussions, which is my current approach, instructors can develop a number of researchprojects that may yield enlightening results, such as the following examples:• Have students investigate how their own universities deal with outmoded computers and peripherals. The results may be both frustrating, due to a lack of cooperation or intentionally vague information, and surprising: universities may dump unusable/unmarketable PCs in landfills (University of North Dakota), send them to state prisons for recycling (Texas A & M, College Station

Withinthis district, discussions with high school teachers, administrators, and students, show threereasons emerging that begin to explain the low physics enrollment in public schools. First, asalready stated, a majority of high school teachers lack degrees in physics. As a result, very fewphysics teachers feel confident enough to cover modern physics subjects in their classes. Second,given the current limited state of public school funding, high school science teachers
