should identify knowledge associated with the subject being learned and prioritize thatknowledge in one of three types (2): (a) “enduring” understanding, (b) important to know and do,and (c) worth being familiar with. Acceptable evidence that the desired results have beenachieved requires assessment of learning. Assessment may be one of three general types:content-focused quiz and test questions, open-ended problems that require critical thinking, andauthentic performance tasks and projects. Assessment measurements may include quantitativedata, qualitative observations or comments, and reflective statements by faculty and students.This process is a good structure for curriculum revision, but meticulous completion of everyaspect of each stage of

The objectives of the program are:(a) enhancement of participants’ learning skills in a continuously changing technology field, (b) enhancement of analytical and problem-solving skills in applications of technology, and(c) accentuation of professional ethics and awareness in a technological environment. Purdue’sadaptation involves offering a series of twelve courses, delivered via fourteen very intense three-day weekend sessions which are augmented with a carefully developed set of out-of-classassignments and a communication support system. Each of these weekend sessions entails 24contact hours of meeting time. In addition, a directed project is required to demonstrate researchand/or

thatstudents are not familiar with most of which are easily observed with simple experiments.Therefore, this course is well suited to the use of active learning techniques integrated with thestatic elements of the course.Assessment of active learning and other educational materials is commonly done by (a)comparing student performance (normally, final course or other grades) of sections or groupsusing the materials to sections that didn’t use the materials, (b) measuring time-on-task, and (c)student satisfaction questionnaires.

not looked to universities to fulfill its appliedresearch needs. This paper examines some of the reasons behind this condition, including thecontinued emphasis some universities place on traditional Ph.D. programs that are geared to thepreparation of students for faculty positions rather than entry into industrial careers. Theeconomic downturn has forced industry to cut back on internal R&D expenditures, making iteven more important to find ways of encouraging industry to partner with academe to help meetthe continuing need for technological innovation. This paper focuses on some new developmentsin engineering doctoral education that meet this need while continuing to satisfy academicprogram requirements. The new approach calls for a
