Wilbert McKeachie as one ofthe leading authorities of his day. McKeachie, a behavioral psychologist, believed that only twoprinciples of learning held with any consistency were: a) active participation is still better thanpassive learning, and b) meaningful learning is still more effective that rote memory.5 Well Page 12.1204.3before McKeachie conducted actual research on theories of learning, engineering was taught, toa large extent, in a “hands-on” learning environment. Through the rejuvenation process, care hasbeen taken to maintain a “hands-on” approval approach with the original specifications of theproduct.A short summary of “who we are”The

The importance ofdecision turning point should be discussed from a practical perspective. A sample summarytable is in Appendix B.• When using Decision tree, there needs to be an adequate explanation of the expected value ofreturn from practical point of view. For example, expected return is not the amount of returnafter one trial.I prepared a table, called “Insights into the queuing theory" which compares three queuingmodels with respect to their input information, output information

universities offer the traditional face-to-face class. With the rise in technology, onlinecourses are now becoming popular. Although not a new concept, the blended classroom has theopportunity to blend the best features of the online and classroom environment. This researchwas conducted to determine if blended courses provided evidence of student satisfaction and costsavings compared to face-to-face courses. A Five Pillar Quality Framework was used to assessblended courses. Five engineering education courses offered in both the face-to-face format andblended format were used. Grades were analyzed using a t-test, and the results of a survey givento students are presented. The results supported prior research that a blended course offersstudent
