Although in some fields cases are analyzed individually, team solutions are mostcommon in engineering and business.What are cases?A case is a narrative account of a situation, problem, or decision usually derived from actualexperience. 5 Cases often reflect real world concerns, situations, and issues managers andengineers encounter in practice; they are often open-ended, with no clear-cut solution. Whichanswer is ``best'' depends on the relative importance one assigns to various criteria. In businessschools, cases frequently describe critical decision points in the history of a company. Inengineering, cases may provide an account of a problem, technical issue, ethical dilemma, ordesign challenge.Cases provide a context for

Beyond the reflection engendered bythe process, following the visit one concern was that curricular limitations did not allow studentsto take a sufficient number of electives. This finding resulted in faculty more broadly looking atthe curriculum rather than just specific, focused changes in existing courses.The second and third factors—a new chair and young faculty—were simply coincidental since anew, external department chair had been hired less than two years before the ABET visit at atime when 70% of the faculty in the department had been at PALACE for less than a

Using this course for majors as well as non-majors would ensureenrollment as the course is being established.Another option for consideration is to incorporate elements of technological literacy in coursesthroughout the curriculum. With this approach, it would not be necessary to make room for andstaff a new course. Instead of finding a faculty member who is prepared and willing to take onan entire course on technological literacy, many faculty members must be willing to allot time inexisting course for technological literacy issues. It is likely that these issues are already beingaddressed, albeit

opportunities, and to make the available service more visible to student consumers. ≠ In general, best results are achieved when advanced planning is conducted prior to adding support for a course. The planning includes tutor preparation and attention to technical issues. In addition, faculty concerns and special needs can be considered. If a student seeks tutoring and finds it lacking due to technical difficulties or unprepared tutors, the student is not likely to seek help again. The student may also broadcast negative information about the tutoring service to peers or faculty members. Once the reputation of an innovation is damaged in this way, it may be difficult to regroup and recover.Software/Technical

There are similar programs that usefaculty instead of students [12], however, we felt that building a student/student relationshipwould be more valuable in solving the various transition issues. The classes are based upon acommon non-academic theme. The small class size and common interests increases theopportunity for a personal relationship to build between the freshmen and their mentor.
