Session 3213 Criterion-Based Grading for Learning and Assessment in Unit Operations Laboratory V.L. Young, D. Ridgway, M.E. Prudich, D.J. Goetz, and B.J. Stuart Department of Chemical Engineering, Ohio UniversityAbstractGoals for student learning in Unit Operations Laboratory are diverse. Students are to developskills in the planning and execution of experiments, the interpretation of experimental data, andthe communication of technical information. Additional goals include gaining familiarity withprocess equipment, improving teamwork skills, and developing professional habits in
2660 New Information Technology in an International Context Ian R. Simpson, Yvon Kermarrec Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne (ENST Bretagne)AbstractAs the world undergoes the phenomenon of « globalization », more and more colleges ofengineering have given their courses an international flavor by offering modules which,traditionally, had no place on the « old style » engineering syllabuses. In a European context,these innovations include :• The study of Foreign Languages.• Elements of Economics and Business.• Short courses involving
transactional frame ofmind: their attention was on how the activity would meet their course requirements and expandtheir career-related experience. The engineering students approached the project from a relationalframe of mind; their attention was on the needs of the client. The end result was that the client,who had participated in three consecutive years of “service learning” projects, declined toparticipate in future collaborations.One of the consequences of putting a priority on the relationships is that the completion ofprescribed projects may then be secondary. Task oriented people may find these types of CEprojects as “accomplishing little” because the accomplishments are not in the visible physicaldomain. When the focus is “relational,” the

This includes small as well as large firms.CIM is a philosophy that takes on different meanings depending on whether the functional viewis engineering, information systems, or operations management. It is deemed important todevelop in the mind of the student a ‘big picture’ framework of a modern manufacturingenvironment. This framework, independent of a student’s academic orientation, must include therealization of the difficulties of managing all functional areas in a constantly changing, rapid-paced, competitive environment. This changing competitive environment includes a growingglobal perspective plus increased pressure for customer satisfaction, quality, cost
