designed toengage students as active participants in their own learning. The goals of the problem-basedlearning (PBL) format include helping students develop problem-solving skills, improvingstudents’ own understanding of how they learn, developing a life-long learning perspective, andacquiring the ability to work on interdisciplinary teams. To assist students and faculty in assessingthese learning objectives, we developed rubrics to assess teamwork, written and oral reports, andthe problem-solving process. In this paper we describe the implementation of PBL in engineeringcurricula and examine the use of rubrics to support the development of students’ problem-solvingskills.Introduction In the chemical industry of the future, chemical

life but not well documented.There is a need to consolidate, unify and document many problem solving strategies. To come upwith an answer to this need, we asked very basic questions: How have people solved problems?What strategies have they used? The answers came from many related books, papers, patents,products, and services from industry, business, marketing, math, science, engineering,technology, and daily life. We realized that the methods could be unified and categorized underan Eight-Dimensional Methodology.3. Related workThe literature on creativity and problem solving is quite rich. Some books focus on creativity ingeneral 1-10; some on general methods for problem solving such as brainstorming, brainwritingand lateral thinking 11-17

to this “knowledge explosion” has been to pack more “essential facts” into thecurricula. Careful consideration of this issue suggests that an information-laden society requiresresourceful skills, insights, and abilities; hence, educational innovation must focus less on factsand more on problem-solving and inquiry-based learning. The Wabash Valley EducationalAlliance1, supported by the National Science Foundation (DUE-9553705), has implemented animportant educational vision and established a permanent cooperative effort within the WabashValley (west central Indiana) to meet this need.

EESP consisted of presentations bynationally and locally recognized speakers, workshops to help attendees bridge the gap betweenpedagogical theory and teaching practice, and activities to develop course objectives, outcomes,activities, and assessments.

ConclusionThis paper has documented my experiences learning about active learning and facilitating activelearning lectures. Active learning is powerful teaching. Many engineering faculty members maybelieve active learning is powerful, but are afraid to implement it in their technical courses.Hopefully, this experiential report will help ease many of the fears that an engineering instructormay have about facilitating an active lecture. Additionally, I hope that the example activitiesthat I provided illustrate how technical material can
