The challengesthat confronts the new faculty then goes beyond a lack of adequate preparation at graduateschool to include a changing engineering pedagogy that embraces more innovative teachingpractices that include aspects of active learning, cooperative learning and the use of technology-based courses. In 1991 the National Science Foundation (NSF) began funding engineeringschools to initiate reforms to engineering education.

ongoing process. ‘MOM in Action’ is one teaching aid in the educational tool kit thatincorporates insights on human learning to improve the impact of instruction. Can the impact ofusing ‘MOM in Action’ be measured? To answer this we must ask what it means to have a BS inthe fast changing technological society. Does engineering education transcend the simple sum ofall the course content? Would time spend in incorporating ‘MOM in Action’ in textbooks and lec-tures be better spent in solving another numerical example or covering an extra topic? The authorsbelieve that education and neuroscience research suggests that ‘MOM in Action’ course enrich-ment might have a positive impact on student learning and retention of concepts.The authors also

The group size for eachproject ranged from 5-6 students and was purposely multi-disciplinary in their organization. Theprojects were chosen to fit into the following four tracks: education outreach, communityservice, appropriate technology for overseas, and assistive technologies. There were two facultyadvisers: one responsible for three groups and the other for four groups.In order to track the progress of a groups’ effort, documentation from EPICS was used withlimited editing.
