occur when informal methods are used. Second,design methods require that the designer’s thoughts be expressed explicitly. This is extremelybeneficial when design teams are used or in complex design environments.As one begins to study these processes it becomes obvious that there are more similarities thandifferences. Although individual steps may be labeled differently and some propose differentgroupings of tasks, they all represent a very similar process, the essence of which is captured byCross7. There is agreement among researchers that the process is iterative, with vague transitionsbetween tasks, and task overlap or concurrency. All design problems have common features:there is always a design goal, there are always design constraints that

Thechannels were used to announce career fair, eminent research scholar seminars, graduate schoolinfo session, exam studying tips, technical skills development, resume building, and other relatedworkshops offered on campus. The methodology used for this module was to teach students howto create an individual development plan (IDP); a customized roadmap that outlines career goalsand professional training needed to accomplish those goals [32].The IDP process guided students to reflect on their core competencies, desired skills and careeraspirations.

key component of additional research studies, the approach is frequently credited, particularlyon the web sites of K-12 mathematics instructors, as having a profound positive effect onclassrooms and students [3] [4] [5]. There is strong agreement between the research findings andthe first-hand accounts of the teachers, as described below. In the VRG model, student groupsare formed truly randomly, and the students can see that it is random. In other words, it isobvious that neither the teacher nor the students are choosing the groups. One common methodis by having students draw a card indicating a particular seating location when they enter theclassroom. Liljedahl found that having the students do so on a daily basis worked well for

Self-directed learning activities also make students have an intrinsicbelief that one is responsible for one’s own learning [ 4 ] .The current MNET curriculum produces manufacturing technology program graduates thatare not as strong in understanding the overall methodology of design as expected.

Gradually, although controversy does exists (some senior faculty members choose tostay with their traditional in-class lecture delivery), web-based online teaching becomes anintegrated part of the program. Research showed that the online teaching is one of mostinteresting teaching methods that is growing rapidly.1, 2, 3Based on the previously noted issues, NDSU has recently launched a fully online M.
