The students from TWU that have begungraduate engineering studies at TTU are providing valuable insights into areas that need to bestrengthened so that the students following them will be insured of success. At the conclusion of currentactivities, the engineering tutorial modules developed will be made available online to any other schoolthat wishes to utilize them. Course materials and the programs designed to support both undergraduateand graduate needs will be published and available to serve as a model for others to follow. References[1] Hutchison, K.

courses are used for soft skills training by theET programs. What has been learned over the years from advisory groups is that employersprefer to hire technical graduates that also have the “people” skills offered by the OLS program.Today, we live in a world that is constantly changing, not only in an informational sense but alsoas a society. It is not enough to create a static base curriculum in such an environment.Educators are required to update course objectives and materials depending on the needs anddemands set by the industry and society. For example, who would have thought it was necessaryjust a short time ago to include on each syllabus the instructions for dealing with dangerousindividuals on campus?2 Obviously, course objectives have

This can be regardedas an indirect benefit to facilitate the recruitment of students to their companies withoutcompromising the quality of the class content. The method of selection adopted for thisteaching model mitigates potential problems regarding to students’ lack of interest becausethe content covered in the classes delivered by the industry practitioners are part of theirevaluation. Additionally, with the brief list of courses provided during the recruitmentprocess, the quality of teaching is guaranteed as the industry practitioners are invited to talkabout topics within their expertise.Table 1.

Prior to this, lack of available time and exposure to programs outside of our ownhas precluded a complete comprehension of program requirements outside of our functionaldepartment. While university requirements are typically indicated in course catalogs or online, aset of standard guidelines or an SOP could benefit the less experienced teacher and help makethe process more efficient.

Additionally, the list was trimmed to exclusivelyinclude only vehicle balance elements during the development of the course, as it becameapparent that the initial vision for material coverage was too ambitious. As initially conceived, theplanned content was too large for the available high school interval of 50 min of daily classes andwas reduced to an appropriate length, focusing primarily on the balance and ground contactfeatures of off-road vehicles. An ASM instructor, who primarily teaches freshmen and notassociated with the development of the modules, was recruited to review the modules initially andhelp adjust the rigor of the lessons to an appropriate level.Table 1 – Off-road vehicle balance module educational outcomes. 1

In each of these courses, the syllabus was broken down into the basic concepts by thevery instructors who have been teaching these courses for many years. In so doing, concepts thatmay be important but not fundamental to a course was packaged into other appropriate courses.The concepts that remained behind were considered to be the very fundamental concepts, alsoreferred to as the anchoring concepts. Typically, each course has five designated anchoringconcepts. The content material relevant to each anchoring concept was cast into a learning studiomodule (LSM). Thus, there are

like to take notes on an iPad because I don't have to carry around notebooks and easier to look through old notes. I was taking a math course. One day I was running late and forgot to bring my notebook for that class which eventually led me to taking notes on my iPad. The professor at the time was so anti-electronics in class that they did not believe I was taking notes on my iPad. Even after showing them I indeed was taking notes for that class, they told me to put it up and ask someone for a piece of paper and pencil. I don’t understand how you are going to tell a student how to take their notes in college. Many professors have a no electronics policy in their syllabus. I understand how
