it! There are other good reasons for us to focus the workshop on teaching and learning. In a study on new faculty careers from the late 1970’s Fink found that new faculty were often overwhelmed by their teaching responsibilities [5]. And over a decade later, another study found that there was no significant change for the better [6]. Both studies indicated that faculty wished to teach well, but the latter study in particular found that new faculty tended to teach by lecturing, feel concerned about getting the content right, and worried about teaching evaluations. Overall, Boice found new faculty were running hard just to stay in one place, especially in terms of their teaching responsibilities. Such research seems to indicate

…Perhaps the key to O. U. 's success, however, is the amount of support it gives its students.The school employs 7,000 part-time tutors. The technology department alone has 1,100 tutorsand plans to hire an additional 500 to help cope with the 8,000 students taking the newcomputing class. The tutors schedule occasional group or individual tutorials, and are available..via phone, fax, or e-mail.

In general, it is understood to mean computer-based “text,graphics, animation, stills, audio, and video7,” in a dazzling, fast-paced presentation that moreclosely resembles interactive video games than educational material. Indeed, the entertainmentmarket must push the boundaries of technology and, often, good taste in order to sell theirproduct.

The Program for Civic Engagement in Engineering Design (ProCEED) requires thatstudents "solicit projects from the surrounding community for development and prototyping inthe senior design course." As a result of creating useful designs that meet community needs,students benefit by "learning to interact with community sponsors, usually without technicaltraining . . .

When the signal tonoise ratio is degraded, the noise on top of the signal is apparent as it degrades the pure sinewave. The last, and probably most painful output for the students, is a speaker. The student s canhear how the test tone degrades as the signal to noise ratio goes down. Increasing the signal toimprove the signal to noise ratio means the students have to listen to a constant tone while theyassess both the distortion analyzer and the oscilloscope.

. This decision underscores the relationship between statistical power and the levelof confidence. Most assessment professionals would want to be able to detect a half-pointdifference arising from the responses of two different groups to a survey question on a five-pointscale. The conventional approach utilized in standard statistical testing sequences is to work atthe 95 percent level of confidence, equivalent to one chance in 20 or les s of making a Type Ierror (incorrectly concluding that there is a real difference when there is not). However, as Table1 shows, by choosing a statistical significance level of .05, the assessment team may hamstringits ability to detect a large and substantively significant difference of a half point on a five

Investing a small amount of time on the firstday of class with the student exercise described in this paper can pay great dividends for both thestudents and faculty member.

Being a large company, the specifications forthe steel were written by engineers at a site about 200 miles away from the customer's productionfacility. We were faced with a problem for if our steel met the specification for hardness, then the steelwould not physically work in the customer' s press. If we made a softer steel that could be fabricatedin the presses then it will not have met the customer's written specifications. We
