We propose to evaluate the impact on student learning by incorporating COINS intothe lab portion of the introductory engineering course.By embedding the use of COINS in introductory courses, we anticipate that the research willshow that core engineering fundamentals that students need in order to be successful insubsequent courses are reinforced. In a typical introductory course, fundamentals are oftenintroduced without students being able to understand how these concepts can and will be appliedin practice. Many students lose interest early on in their engineering education due to this fact.By having COINS embedded in introductory courses

How do we provide technical content and perspective for students pursuing a liberaleducation? Although there may be a myriad of approaches to the problem, an obvious tactic thatwould reach all students is to focus on the core curriculum (courses required of all students) andalso on courses required in the technical major. By focusing on these two elements of thecurriculum we have the potential to provide learning opportunities that can impact and broadenperspectives of both technical and non-technical students.Within curricula of the College of

CONCLUSIONS There appears to be an on-going conflict between Research and “Teaching” in CanadianUniversities. One’s career is predicated to a major extent on one’s research rather than their“teaching” performance. I am sure that this is generally the case in most Universities There is no question that grounding in fundamentals is essential for our graduates. Acomplete Capstone Design exercise should be essential as well.
