No single pattern of learning is right for every student, teacher, program, or school. Infact, LE can be delivered in many ways, including: Traditional H&SS Courses.

IntroductionDesign is one of the core competencies in the engineering curriculum and is an essential skill forany engineer. Translation of a design concept from paper to prototype is a crucial step inassessing the performance of a design, and use of prototyping as a part of design coursereinforces a student’s learning experience.

developing anddrawing these figures can double the development time for a question. Also, some students wanted to see a link between the Interactive LearningModules and simulation software. It is likely that some concepts would be reinforced bya simulation case. To maintain the ease of use, the simulation interface should be simple.Thus, we envisage an approach allowing limited user flexibility for a selected exercise;for example, the student could change only the controller gain and integral time for afixed process, noise, and input disturbance. However, intensive simulation exercises,involving student problem solving and in some cases limited programming, require amore complex interface to accommodate the open-ended nature of the

The aim of the class was to provide students with the knowledge andskills necessary to systematically identify possible sources of risk and ways to manage them, andin such a way to prepare them to become more critical problem solvers in the world of complexissues. The underlying idea that guided curriculum development was that students might learnbetter when they are able to apply what they learn in the classroom to everyday life, or toproblems that are of interest to them. Thus, the area of risk assessment and management waschosen as appropriate

CEL should provide value to the community partners byproviding a benefit to their organization which can take a variety of forms.

Retention has been the dominant mode ofstudying student success in engineering and higher education in general. However, studying whomatriculates and who graduates does not tell the complete story of a student's path through theengineering curriculum nor should it be used as a measure of an institution. A national,longitudinal student unit-record database enables the study of engineering programs usingconsistent benchmarks and metrics. MIDFIELD has been used

Notably, concerns have arisen from engineering majors whoexpress displeasure in being required to take math classes as part of the engineering curriculum.While math and engineering professors may find this objectionable, it is a reasonable concern,given that mathematics is often taught as an abstract discipline, and students need to grasp itsrelevance to their future roles as engineers.To address this issue, we have initiated the development of an Integrated Curriculum, startingwith two pairs of courses: MATH 140 (Calculus with Analytic Geometry I) paired with PHYS211 (General Physics: Mechanics), and PHYS 212 (General Physics: Electricity
