The new course makes use of computer-aided scheduling and otherproject management techniques. Students expressed concerns about the difficulty of workingrelatively independently on an open-ended design, and on the more performance-based evaluationwhich the course involved. To help with evaluation, a computer tool was developed by anothergroup of researchers1 5 to track project management and team performance information, includingindividual and team time spent, action items and milestones completed, peer evaluation of teammembers and private comments

In clarifyingthis statement the professor tells the students that in order to obtain the answer to this questionthey must ask him some questions. The professor notes the questions can be either personal orprofessional in nature. The questions should also help satisfy the curiosity many of the studentshave regarding them. The student groups are given about five minutes to think of severalquestions they would like to pose to the professor. Once the time is up the professor asks onegroup to state

IEAust recently overhauledthe processes by which many Australian engineers attain two important professional milestones:undergraduate baccalaureate and professional certification/recognition. In 1999 revised NationalCompetency Standards were introduced following an extensive peer review process. TheseStandards set out the competencies expected of professional engineers and provide theframework for assessment of engineers seeking chartered membership of IEAust. Sustainability

There was an interest in flexibility in the curriculum,so that students can take specialized courses such as entrepreneurship courses if they so desire.There was a stated need for text modules, not textbooks, to integrate innovative material into thetraditional courses. A recommendation was made to aggregate best practices from differentinstitutions to be shared among peers. Interestingly, department heads also mentioned that oneof the larger barriers to change within the curriculum and pedagogical approach is faculty.Another question was if the professional school model, similar to

How do you feel about what you did? What could you have done differently? What resources do you need? What is the next step? Reflection teaches thestudents to value the process, not just the end result. Each student is asked to makea reflection note book.

Finally, a student expressedconcern that the program overlapped with the freshman priority enrollment time. The studentcould never fully relax during the program because he/she was worried about not getting theclasses of his/her choice.
