The reorganization into the two-semester lab sequence allowed both topics to be included in required CEE courses. Therestructuring of the labs also alleviated some of the teaching load for CEE faculty. The newsequence allows two faculty members to share one laboratory course with one faculty

Skills learned fromprojects can be applied as case studies in the classroom or as exercises in the laboratory. Severalmodels for successful applied research centers are presented. Introduction The mission of a technology program is to produce graduates who are ready to beproductive in the workforce when they graduate. Besides teaching general principles andconcepts, it is imperative that students are introduced to technology used by industry. This isfundamental to the mission of technology.

Recent events have clearly demonstrated that state support cannotprovide the resource necessary for laboratory based education or for capstone studentexperiences. In our era of fast-paced scientific discovery, spectacular engineering achievement,and complex social systems, it is clear that everything is connected to everything else. We havelearned what we attempt to teach our students, the best way to move ahead is in partnership andcollaboration. Academe, industry, individuals and government all have played a critical role inmaintaining educational quality, but the world is changing rapidly, and we need to keep pace withthose changes.

Furthermore, many of the software programs currently available to support secondary instruction contain examples which are culturally irrelevant to Ugandan students. According to Hodson [12], efforts to make science education more learner-centered must build on knowledge and experiences of the learners, which requires an understanding of the impact of different perspectives and experiences of dissimilar cultural groups. The purpose of the project described here is to develop a simulated science laboratory experiment, as a pilot for future software

APPROACHWhile many other approaches have implemented teaching tactics focused principally on eitherexperimental or computer methods, the approach adopted at USAFA was hybrid in nature using both. Itmay be accomplished as either a demonstration in the normal sequence of class lectures, or as a moreformal laboratory. No separate heat transfer laboratory course exists in the curriculum at USAFA, sothese laboratories experiences for our students are conducted within the allotted lesson times for eachcourse; many are, in fact, performed as demonstrations, with students performing data reduction on theexperimental results. Still, the authors recognize that it is always desirable that students have a hands-on experience whenever possible, rather than having

Signature pedagogies inprofessional disciplines also have three temporal patterns: an initial pedagogy that frames andprefigures professional preparation, capstone apprenticeships and a sequenced and balancedportfolio4. Engineering, with its mix of analysis courses, laboratories and design studios, ischaracterized by the latter. Shulman also notes that a signature pedagogy can also be illustratedby

The faculty that teach the subsequent courses report theyhave seen a vast improvement in the professional quality of the reports from the veterans of thelinked courses.
