students reiterated that these studies were much longer than any previous study they had undertaken in the past and that they had not worked before in a collaborative effort. The students were also able to note that planning and execution followed distinct stages- literature search, experimental design, data collection and evaluation , and drawing of conclusions. Exposure to technical writing was invaluable for most of the students- although writing skills are poor across the board in the U.S., scores are particularly low at TCCs. Science and math scores on assessment tests such as the Praxis (for secondary education students) are moderately lower than national medians, but English skills are very much lower. In

The group benefiteda lot from the NSF visit and ended up re-writing goal/objectives of the project in light ofsuggestions made by NSF program officials (see Table 2). It can be seen in tables 1 and 2 thatthe proposal objectives became more focused / meaningful as a result of our discussions at theNSF.

The University’s academic excellence has been in liberal artsbased education. The first professional program, Nursing, began in 1962 at the request of thearea physician community. Forty years later, Union University started up another professionalprogram, Engineering, in the same fashion: out of need and at the request of area industriesthrough the Chamber of Commerce. At the time of this writing, the Engineering program3 is inits third year of operation with 21 students and the first class of graduates is slated for May 2005.The program will apply for ABET accreditation in January 2006 for a historic

The NC Legislature has mandated that 4-year programs cannot exceed 128 hours of credit. 2. The curriculum must include fifty-one credit hours of courses mandated by the University and College of Engineering. These include 21 hours of humanities and social sciences courses, and a 4-hour writing course.

He recommends warning students against “thinking on-line”, and instead teaching them to write the programs at their desks, only testing when satisfiedwith the result. He also identifies several suggestions for group techniques: allowing students toread and check each other’s programs, group review of a program, and other forms of teaminteraction. Fienup2 also supports group work.

If students are allowed to choose theirown topic, this would increase intrinsic motivation, but would make it difficult for the instructorto ensure consistent knowledge between all students [13]. When PBL was applied in an undergraduate electrical engineering course, it was found toresult in significantly higher conceptual understanding compared to the traditional lecture method[14]. To ensure individual student participation, fairness, and accountability, many studiesincorporated peer evaluations [15, 16]. PBL also has positive results on student perceptions.
