This approach would allow very large classes to be served.Summary To overcome operational and technical problems, a new approach to the data acquisitionand data processing in support of a first-year student laboratory experience was developed andimplemented for an introductory engineering course at The Ohio State University. During asingle work week, a new data acquisition application was developed to acquire data from theloop apparatus of Lab 2. This development, along with a different approach to handlingapparatus geometry information, led to the piloting of the methodology in an actual student labroom setting. The

The first is to highlight the effort, and the results that came about when a commitment was made by The Engineering Technology Department at The University of Memphis to rebuild and revitalize The Electrical Power lab. This required a certain financial commitment from the university. That amounted to approximately $21,000. The value of this investment can be viewed, in perspective, from the fact that The US Naval Academy recently

Intentional design of faculty development to engage faculty to make small,incremental changes within the context of a supportive, like-minded community, is important. Inthis paper, we merged two different methods to examine the PIs design decisions, and evaluatethe program’s implementation and outcomes. For the first method, the grant evaluator appliedconjecture mapping,1 a design-based research method, to examine the design and theoreticalconjectures, the mediating processes, and outcomes of implementation of a faculty developmentproject.

Even though there are many parallels in thinkingamong engineers and mathematicians, and despite the fact that engineering disciplines employmathematical knowledge and methodologies all the time, Moore’s method unfortunately neverreally found its way into Engineering.But how does this method work? Professor Moore summarized his method in these words: “Thatstudent is taught the best who is told the least.” The method is a “commitment to teaching byletting students discover the power their own minds have.”3 In a "classical lecture", we depriveour students of the chance to advance in any other field outside of mere "knowledge in
