The results from studentsurveys indicate fairly strong support for the quizzes over homework and the use of a websiteover a more tradition format for the course. However, almost 25% of the students prefer a moretradition course format of weekly homework and writing on the board. IntroductionThe ultimate skill to be learned in an undergraduate engineering curriculum is “problemsolving.” Since essentially all engineering (and science) classes are limited to a narrowdiscipline

We will include qualitative feedback from the campers and from staffers about thecamps. We will close with a discussion of the benefits of the two types of camps and our plansfor the future. The paper will be co-authored by the faculty camp director, the staff membercamp assistant director, and will include comments from student camp staffers.

engineering course.One of the challenges in early engineering education is getting students to move beyond plug-and-chug type solutions and frameworks to having them fully integrate new knowledge into anindependently organized thought process for bringing complex information to bear in appliedways. Students have a difficult time developing these skills from textbooks because the texts arenot interactive and because they often do not present information in more than one way (writtenverbal). Lectures can engage students in active learning techniques where students can applyinformation with guidance. However, the fast pace of some lecture materials will leave weakerstudents with little recourse other than to extensively rely on the textbook. Archived
