The NSES goal of promoting inquiry was addressed in the small group work with the robotics materials. This work involved inquiry/ exploration and problem solving among the groups members and in some cases between groups as well. 3. Small group work with the robotics materials helped make the physical science content more interesting to learn. The robotics material also made the physics content more relevant. 4.

Thesefour factors, Safety, Sustainability, Style and Society, comprised the four principle modules of thecourse. The course explores the modules separately, as well as their interconnectedness. Inaddition, the course focused on drawing as a language for communicating building design andperformance. The class was organized as a weekly 2.5 hour seminar course to allow time forfield trips, laboratory activities, and class discussion, which were designed to strengthenstudents’ ability to analyze and communicate ideas about building design across disciplines.Weekly readings shaped the focus

Asecond course is intended for graduate students and is oriented more towards theoretical aspects, includingmathematical modeling and computer simulations which can predict bulk behavior of particulate flows from theproperties of the material.

Students are given 3-D solid models ofwork-pieces and tooling to reduce lead-time of model preparation. However, they are required tocreate simpler (2-D) geometries. The individual student’s effort and learning on each laboratoryassignment is measured by including laboratory related questions in exams and by theirparticipation during lectures and their interaction with faculty and teaching assistants.Processes and Software

Resources for new research in both arenas have been severelycut (e.g., dismantling of Bell Laboratories, and reduction in industry-sponsored basic research onuniversity campuses), further compounding the problem. Is there a sudden disillusionment withan educational system that has served us so well for over three decades, or are some industry anduniversity players crying wolf? The National Academy of Engineering also recognizes thisproblem and argues for an educational system that is relevant to the needs of the community [3].If one accepts that there is some truth to this claim, the underlying causes for this

Two weaknesses existin the current teaching of capstone design courses in most engineering curricula. First, the chosendesign projects may not necessarily be real-life or may not relate to a real engineering problem in thefield. Hence, it is highly likely that these design projects, when completed, will not advance to theproduction line. Second, most design projects are required to be completed within one semester.Depending on the scope of a project, a one-semester long time frame may not be adequate when adesign project demands a complete cycle of multidisciplinary

In essence, active learning requires doing meaningful learning activities in groups underthe guidance of an informed and experienced teacher. As stated by Christensen et al (1), “To teachis to engage students in learning.” The main point is that engaging students in learning isprincipally the responsibility of the teacher, who becomes less an imparter of knowledge andmore a designer and a facilitator of learning experiences and opportunities.
