This should result in students better focused on their pre-engineering studies. 4. Develop effective team players. Being able to function on a team is an essential characteristic of successful engineers; Paskusz 9 notes that as a result of a design based introductory course students "have learned to function effectively on design teams."

.” • “It helped develop thought process to come up with options.”As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed researching the individual case studies and discussing them inclass. In the process, I was still able to cover the technical content, but I think now the studentshave a better, more practical feel for controller design. Although I was skeptical at first aboutwhether mini-ethics lessons would work in my course, I must say the results suggest that it canindeed be done successfully, with positive outcomes for both students and instructors. I intend tointroduce similar ethics components into future courses.Bibliography[1] Ethics Across the Curriculum Workshop, Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago

Also, while observing the group learning, the instructor can identify and correct learningdifficulties on the spot, which is usually not possible with the standard traditional lecturingmethod. Despite the potential benefits, several practical challenges have been encountered whileattempting to implement the strategy. These include motivating students to study and learn newmaterial outside of class and before encountering it in the classroom; and motivating them toengage in the formative/summative assessment processes used.
