This paper argues that there is a special place for high-risk, ambitious conceptarchitecture and design in the aerospace curriculum. This is essential because of the specialcharacteristics and aptitudes of
encourage thedevelopment of specific learning skills. Thus, modules will deliberately highlight connectionsbetween the content of multiple courses. This will be achieved by such mechanisms as solvingtwo closely related problems using material from two different courses and using the output of amodule from one class as an input to a different module. This type of integration would bedifficult to achieve without the use of the technology.The fact that we are using information technology to achieve this integration of the curriculumalso enhances a student's ability to solve engineering problems. In the past, and continuing tosome extent for traditional engineering disciplines, foundational knowledge in mathematics andengineering sciences helped to

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 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. This included the SUCCEED program thatinitially included eight institutions1. The primary focus of SUCCEED was the development andinstitutionalization of innovative teaching materials and
