Some indicated that they have the type of job expected they expected to have,such as John, while others spoke more generally about a category of jobs, such as Kevin. “There’s basically three different disciplines when you get out of school for being a [discipline] engineer, and I wanted to be a [type] engineer that’s what I’ve done so far, so, this is, this is definitely where I want to be and I’m enjoying it.” (John, TPub). “Yes, when I was an undergraduate I didn’t have a totally specific idea of where I’d be in a few years but, I knew that I was interested in technology and in

the secondsemester after taking Mechanics. Particularly, as some departments (e.g., Biological andAgricultural Engineering and Engineering Technology) guided the course to be taken in the firstor second semester of sophomore, relatively fewer number of students achieved the coursecredits. While on average, about 72% of FTIC students and about 28% of FTT students achievedcredits on the courses by taking the courses at the institution. In contrast, about 7% of FTICstudents and about 62% of FTT students achieved the transfer credits on the common courses.

technological changes and shifts in educationalpractices, the education system is challenged with providing increased educational opportunitiesand providing for lifelong learning. However the implementation of such systems has beendifficult due in part to the lack of proper organization and administration by educationinstitutions and student access to the useful programs. Web based learning essentially usesspecial capabilities of the Internet to deliver methods for learning to improve the way thatengineering students can understand engineering principals.

information for active classroom design.IntroductionActive learning, and spaces purpose-built for active learning pedagogies, are becomingincreasingly prevalent in STEM fields, and engineering in particular. One method to learn moreabout the utilization of active learning pedagogies is to observe teaching and learning in real timeusing a protocol that describes the interaction between pedagogy, space, and technology [1]. Theuse of observation to provide information on teaching practices is a well documented concept[2], [3], [4]. Teaching and Learning Centers have a long history of offering classroomobservations and these are frequently used to provide formative and summative feedback toinstructors, teaching teams, and academic leaders [4].

If it is explained tothem that higher to lower potentials needed for flow to occur actually expresses the second lawof thermodynamics in another, more general, way, then a very abstruse concept can be mademore real.The analogy can be extended to other physical systems including mechanics (force, velocity)electricity (voltage, electric current), magnetics (magnetomotive force, magnetic flux), andothers not normally taught to undergraduate engineering students as transport processes.The effort and flow variable analog can extend much farther into such disparate areas as thespread of disease, traffic flow, technology transfer, psychological
