. Many engineering educators have recognized the importance of a close relationship with industrial constituents and the benefits that such a relationship can have on student outcomes.1-4 The second challenge is to continually develop new laboratory facilities and faculty expertise necessary to teach courses in the emerging areas. As part of the extensive assessment efforts required by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology5, Valparaiso has established a close relationship with a number of key stakeholders and routinely seeks their suggestions for revisions to the curriculum and the program learning objectives. However, in a relatively small department such as ours, it can be very difficult to recruit faculty members whose

The students meet the instructor twice aweek in the laboratory during this three-credit-hour semester-long course with each class lastingtwo hours. The course is taught using traditional teaching methods with the introduction tographics concepts and examples in the first hour, and tutoring the homework in the second hour.Students passively absorb the information and work individually to solve the problems. Thelimited class time means that not all students get the immediate help they need. In addition,many of them do not follow up during office or tutoring hours for additional assistance.

, American Society for Engineering Education”A final common challenge for faculty is to provide “hands-on” experience with new technologywhile teaching core concepts. Typically, this challenge is addressed through the inclusion oflaboratory sessions that reinforce concepts taught in lecture. Unfortunately, the laboratories havea tendency to be scientifically-oriented and are often completed on equipment that is notcommon to industry. Experiments are designed to minimize thee effect of assumptions on thestudents’ analysis of the experiment. This is an effective way to demonstrate a concept, but itdoes not represent a typical industrial environment.3The AMC SolutionThe AMC program was designed to meet all three challenges while also fulfilling the

However, an effective teacher would like to know how much of theknowledge has been absorbed or learned by the students from the lecture. While learningis proportional to instruction, the essential link between them is assessment. The processof instruction involves continuous decision making by an instructor. The instructordecides what to teach, how to teach, how much to teach, how long to teach, what toreview, what to ask in the test, and how to evaluate the test. These
