mathematics students will be exposed to an example of a real world scientific example of the importance of data analysis. A GIFT teacher placed in a corporate industrial engineering department spent her summer consolidating and organizing time-study data. She also created databases, executed queries, ran audits and created graphs. From her needs assessment she wrote “I want to place special emphasis on critical thinking and technology because many students fall greatly short in these areas, and they must be proficient in both to be contributing employees.” She expressed a desire to implement a curriculum that is more real world oriented and planed to expose her mathematics students to MS Access

The need to produce aprogram integrating information skills at all levels of the curriculum so that the graduatesleft with a set of information skills was recognised at the beginning of the planningprocess. One academic member of the Committee and two librarians formed a workingparty to produce a list of attitudes, skills and competencies for the graduates in order toensure the subjects

The IPC draws on service-learningpedagogy to provide students with credit-bearing opportunities to engage the knowledge content of theiracademic discipline in the context of a specific problem or need, and to reflect on the experience in viewof Christian faith commitments. Service-learning is a pedagogy for achieving holistic, value changing,and action oriented learning objectives. It places students in contact with the needs of others, inrelationship with persons

Mechatronics is the foundation ofautomated systems and has become not only a need to shorten the current manufacturing skillsgap [2], but also serves as a platform to provide STEM education.

This combination of skills remains an area of studywithin engineering education that is still in need of further development and refinement for differentmajors [19]. Engineering collaboration within team settings must “move beyond the divide and conquer”approach (commonly observed) and instead operate in a dynamic and integrative mode that resembles theactual building industry [20]. Multi-disciplinary teams provide an excellent way to promote integrationthat allows for
