The introductory materials science course employs aproject-based approach and emphasizes hands-on experimentation. The course’s strong linkagesto everyday stuff – products such as sporting goods, tools, and toys – as well as cutting edgematerials and processes are highly appealing to Olin’s undergraduate engineering students.The course is designed to provide significant opportunities for student self-direction.Several key elements of the course give students practice in controlling their own learningprocess.

To design better educational experiences for engineering students,faculty must understand how students perceive these interactions and how such interactionscontribute to engagement in learning. Using self-determination theory 2 and analyzinglongitudinal interview data, we explored students‟ perceptions of interactions with faculty andhow these interactions changed during their four undergraduate years.Literature ReviewSelf-determination theory (SDT) posits the importance of socio-contextual factors in humanmotivation.3, 4 In learning environments, socio-contextual factors include social aspects such

few has long been a concern in most academic and professionaldisciplines. Copyright laws, patent laws, academic honor codes, and professional ethics codes allgive evidence of the historic need to protect intellectual property (IP). In the public orcommercial arena, the victim of IP theft usually has the burden of detecting, proving, and suingor pressing charges against the violator. In the classroom or instructional laboratory, the victimsof IP theft (students) are not generally in a position to detect, prove, or prosecute the perpetrator.Academic honesty codes or honesty contracts encourage most students to fulfill their ethicalobligations, but the codes do not guarantee complete compliance, nor do they provide a means ofdetection or proof

Since the1980s, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has eschewed phrase headlines and, instead,has advocated a short sentence headline that states the main assertion of the slide. The slidedesign advocated in this paper builds on the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory concept.It also responds to many other criticisms that are likely familiar to anyone who watchessignificant numbers of presentation. Perhaps the most common of these criticisms is that PowerPoint presentations are overlypredictable and generic.

Although there has been a big push to go solar from the Federalgovernment since 2005 (Energy Policy Act, 2005), it is clear that there is huge variation inembracing solar generation across the States.

Several initiativeshave been reported to compensate for this deficiency including classroom lab kits [3], remotelabs [4], [5], [6], virtual lab simulators [6], [7], [8], [9], and the use of data from unit operationexperimental modules [10] among others.Our chemical engineering curriculum includes a capstone senior course on Process Control, 5credit units, with a companion laboratory course (1 credit hour).

Whether it be performance arts like theatre andmusic, or be it a laboratory setting like physics or biology, student performance can beeffectively accentuated by adopting creative instructional lesson plans (Baxter-Magolda, 1992).Furthermore, many of our educational institutions have tried to move away from emphasizing theestablishment of a strong knowledge base (Young and Young, 1999). In other words, one cansay that declarative learning should only be a part of the learning process. It is important torecognize the fact that the discovery approach is gaining prominence day by day.Instructional Modules
