these interactions.IntroductionThe Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Villanova University has recentlyrevised its curriculum. In particular, the Department reduced the number of credits in thecurriculum by consolidating several related topics into a few key courses. One of these courses,Civil Engineering Fundamentals, is taught in the fall semester of the sophomore year and servesas an introduction to the engineering program. The course includes three 50-minute lectures andone 3-hour laboratory session per week over a 14-week semester. There are two sections of thecourse, each of which has between 20 and 30 students. Fundamentals is designed to helpsophomores develop many analytical, interpretive and field-based skills and

and speaking.It is necessary, therefore, that those who are most able to help their students learn to think likeengineers should also play an important role in helping them learn to write and speak likeengineers. This places the responsibility back on engineering professors. Of course, the challengehas always been about finding time in engineering courses for teaching communication skills.One response to that challenge is to take advantage of the opportunities for teachingcommunication skills that already exist in the curriculum. While Wheeler 6 lists a number ofpossible venues for writing in the engineering curriculum, the most ubiquitous and yet the mostoverlooked is the lab report.Practically all engineering students take laboratory

consolidates the summarymeasures for all courses and shows how each course contributes to the fulfillment of the overallprogram outcomes. The result is an array of summary measures that can help identify the need toadjust an outcome or its method of assessment, or to modify course content or teaching methods.The intent is to provide a consistent format for all courses in a department or program whileretaining flexibility and ease of use. After course outcomes have been established, most of theassessment data entry can be done by an office assistant rather than by the course instructor.IntroductionRecently published works1, 11, 12 consistently show that educators are taking a new view ofassessment.

Because the study of biomaterialsinvolves such different endeavors, it is truly a multi-disciplinary field. As such, students maycome from broadly different backgrounds; therefore to be an “expert” in biomaterials, studentsmust embrace the significance of each discipline’s contribution to the use of materials inmedicine. The general focus of this course is to introduce all pertinent topics regardingbiomaterials, and by the end of the term to have all students on the same platform in the subjectof Biomaterials.For “Tissue Engineering” taught in the winter quarter of year one, a team teaching format wasimplemented.

Students who complete these labs apply conceptual knowledge that they have gainedfrom multiple undergraduate courses. The point of this experiment is to familiarize students witha few basic aerospace concepts and terms such as Reynold’s number, coefficient of lift, andcoefficient of pressure1-4. Furthermore, it teaches students how to read a multi-manometer5 andperform and compare calculations obtained from experimental data and theoretical/virtualsimulations.This experimental setup

Therefore, in designing a synthetic genetic programthere is the possibility of unintended consequences. This causes concerns about the creation oforganisms that may be harmful for humans and the environment and could potentially

It belongs to people, notjust as ‘users’ but as protagonists of their dimensional lives” [1, p. 23].

A third possible explanation is that female students who self-select into engineering arebetter students on average than male students, which would involve a subset from other studiesof first-year college students [43]. This third hypothesis could be examined using standardizedtest scores or high school grades or rank.
