qualityclassroom practices to instructors. This paper deals with the implementation of some aspects of the TotalQuality Management Approach in teaching at GMI. Two courses, namely, Chassis Design and Design ofMechanisms that have been taught by the authors were selected for this study. These are traciit ions I coursesoffered junior/senior level students and heavily design oriented.Our Paradigm Our attempt to incorporate TQM principles is based on the premise developed by Glasser. WilliamGlasser, M. D., a world renowned practicing psychiatrist, has been teaching and researching in the areas ofcontrol theory of human behavior and reality therapy. He has lead the development of the quality schoolprogram and has made significant contributions to the
(SDSU). The case study presented in this paper demonstrates howapplication of engineering management and quality improvement tools, such as Kaizen and Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, along with an enhanced approach to our commonly used teachingobservation process contributed to improved instructor’s outcomes.Formative versus Summative Teaching ObservationObservations of teaching can take the form of summative or formative evaluation, which servedifferent purposes for the faculty member being observed. The Iowa State Center for Excellencein Learning and Teaching2 has published a literature review, and statement of best practices, insummative peer evaluation of teaching, that is, where that evaluation plays a role in personneldecisions such as

knowledge-centered, assessment-centered, learner-centered andcommunity-centered. This premise was initially based on K-12 observations. Preliminaryresults indicate that HPL is effective in undergraduate bioengineering instruction as well.2 Theprimary objective of this study was to modify BME 210 so that it conforms to the HPLframework. This was done by replacing the taxonomy-based mode of instruction with challenge-based modules. Each module is based on one or more challenges dealing with applications thatare generally familiar to the students.The challenges are designed to include portions of the taxonomy that students have not yetstudied. They cannot solve the challenge without additional information. Thus, students areurged to begin each module

The purpose of this paper is to sharethe experience and discuss some of the details on the implementation.IntroductionThe primary goal of an engineering technology program is the preparation of technicallycompetent entry-level engineers for private industry. For the recent graduate, thetransition from student to entry-level engineer can be a difficult bridge to cross. Industrymanagers have recognized this difficulty, and many companies have developed elaborateprograms to aid the recent graduate in this transitionIn the early 1990’s, the public began to grumble about the poor student preparation fortechnical careers in industry. A great deal of criticism was thrust upon the technicalschools and universities [4, 7]. In response, many

graduates, the design spine includes anincreased emphasis on professional practice topics of communication skills, teaming, projectmanagement and economics of design. These topics are developed progressively and reinforcedthroughout the design spine. For example, concepts of project management such as workbreakdown and the Gantt chart are introduced early in Design 1 and used in a case study(building a house) and two design projects. The thread on economics of design is initiated inDesign 1 through an assembly costing exercise as part of the product dissection workshopfollowed by consideration of fabrication (machining) costs for the Logo. The students’experiences with group activity (often not positive) are used as a lead in to the more

date back, in some cases, to Galileo. This approach limits the marketability of thestudent. It impedes research and the solutions of complex structural problems. It limits thatstudent’ s ability to tackle complex problems and structures in the Senior Capstone ProjectsCourse. The reality is that teaching the use of software in a course limits the number of othertopics that can be addressed in the course. Compounding this issue is the educational-trend toreduce the number of credits needed to graduate, reduce faculty-student contact hours, and focuson a more general curriculum. Consequently, the approach to teach no software in a course issupported by a surprising number of faculty.TEACH ONLY SOFTWAREThe approach to teach only software, while
