In fact, this author contends that the laboratorydesign can address several of the accreditation process mandates. Specifically, accreditedprograms must demonstrate that their graduates have: • an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (ABET Criterion 3a), • an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data (ABET Criterion 3b

senior design course requires a large number ofother activities, such as mentoring and peer advising of sophomores, community service projects,report writing and presentation skills, professional ethics, and etc. – and all of these activities,which may be “good” activities, do not help the student integrate the “islands of knowledge” intothe “capstone project”. Other senior design courses have formal team projects with competitionbetween teams from different universities. Few, if any, of the teams have offices on campus orcoordinated class schedules to provide a time or place for the team to work together on theproject as a full team. Teams with equipment may have a workshop space, but usually notsecure office space for discussion, for planning

WWW provides newopportunities for students to play a more active role in the acquisition of knowledge. For theWork-study course, students share the responsibility of identifying appropriate additionalresources for the course, as recommended by Collis (1998:377). These resources are sharedwith peer students by means of the presentation tool of WebCT. A wider selection ofresources and modalities of study materials can be distributed through WebCT. These includevideo clips and relevant computer applications. Exploitation of this WebCT facility isidentified as one of the opportunities for the WebCT classroom.3.3.3 Language of instructionFrom 2002, the Work-study course has to be presented in both Afrikaans and English.

Technology (MIT), has been undertaken. The new teaching paradigm, incontrast with the traditional lecture format, incorporates components of faculty-facilitated learn-ing, hands-on experiments, group discussion, web-enabled exploration, and peer learning. Amajor element of this educational reform is a collection of Web-based learning modules. The newteaching format is enabled by a mobile, wireless computing initiative that provides all studentswith laptop computers and a new classroom, built to meet the requirements of the new paradigm.Students were first taught using the new teaching methodology in fall 2001. This paper will dis-cuss the components of the new pedagogy and future steps in developing the course.I PedagogyWe have undertaken an

. This approach to learning known asconstructivism purports that learning is an active endeavor rather than a passive one. Teachersencourage group interaction, where the interplay among participants helps individuals becomeexplicit about their own understanding by comparing it to that of their peers. The teacher(workshop leader and facilitators) no longer acts as the “talking head” expert, but assumes therole of mentor, guiding the students (participants). This perhaps is described best in the keytenets of constructivism as developed by Martin Dougiamas (A Journey Into Constructivism,1998)14: § Faculty members come to the workshop with an established world-view, formed by years of prior experience and learning. § Even as it evolves
