Following several questions generic enough to be usedwith any course, feedback with respect to the particular course objectives is obtained aswell. Next, an evaluation of the various teaching and learning methods, lectures, homeworkassignments, reading assignments, designing and conducting laboratory experiments, ana-lyzing and reporting data and results, etc., is conducted in order to help provide a basisfor the effectiveness of the learning tools.

. Recognizing that engineers need material from both semesters of the traditional twosemester sequence, a new one-semester course was developed. This course has been designedaround the pedagogical theme that "The properties of larger particles are based upon theproperties of their constituent particles and their interactions". As such, the students areintroduced to "modern" physics. To deliver a course such as this effectively , we have found thatwe need to adopt innovative teaching techniques including: focusing on the recitation, frequentfeedback, the use of the studio-format, closer integration of the laboratory experience with thecourse, self-directed laboratory exercises, context- based learning, and the use of the internet.The course structure

The common bond between these experiences is developing apersonal connection between the professor and the student and enabling the student to participateas a stakeholder in their education. The student still does the class work, still gains a strongfoundation in the fundamentals of engineering, but the classroom experience is supplementedand strengthened by working directly with a professor implementing one or more aspects ofher/his education.
