. ConclusionLearning science and engineering concepts should not be a passive process - to understand, astudent must do. Learning should be a hands-on experience. American Chemical SocietyPriestley Medalist Harry B. Gray stated this quite vigorously “I ... would ... do away withintroductory ... lectures completely, and build a first-year course entirely around experiments.’’We believe that these workshops are good examples of the types of active learning exercises thatcan be adapted by others to fit their teaching goals. We would be happy help others implementsimilar programs. Proceedings of the 2003 ASEE Gulf-Southwest Annual Conference The University of Texas at Arlington
