All11 students attended each session and arrived on time and were actively engaged throughout theentire class time. Prof. Glenn Ellis from the Picker Engineering Program was the lead instructorin the course. Dr. Catherine McCune, Director of the Quantitative Learner Center (QLC), alsoled a two-hour session and was present for much of the class time. Two Smith engineeringstudents—Shannon Comiskey (a junior) and Briana Tomboulian (a senior)—provided additionalassistance in the classroom.

Thus, the goal of learning, behaviourism submits, is to understand thereality and modify behaviour accordingly, and the purpose of teaching is to transfer theknowledge from expert to learner18. The behaviourist model is still widely adopted forinstructional design of teaching factual or procedural knowledge of engineering. Instructorsconvert the reality into abstract or generalized representations, and transfer them to studentsthrough a well-planned, linear and gradual procedure in a “tamed” environment, be it aclassroom or laboratory. The students’ performance is assessed by measuring the proximity oftheir behaviour (answering questions, writing reports and essays, performing laboratoryexperiments, etc.) to the expected

First, the vertically integrated design teams introduce sophomores and juniors to realistic civilengineering design problems which, in most curricula, are not addressed until the senior year. The expectationhere is that the underclassmen (especially the sophomores and to a somewhat lesser extent the juniors) will bemotivated by their interaction with the seniors as they experience the application of engineering theory indesign. Thus, these students should perform better in their other lecture and laboratory courses. Second, theproblems

Most textbooks do not have any laboratory activitiesthat allow students to apply engineering principles and design to scientific concepts. Studentsmay use some of the engineering processes, e.g., identify problems or design opportunities, butthey are usually limited to science activities/experiments that do not have real worldtechnological applications. Only occasionally is an engineering activity found in the physics partof a physical science textbook, e.g., design and testing of a model bridge.

William Grove, a British investigator,is generally acknowledged as the inventor of the fuel cell. However, some sources indicate that itmight have been Humphrey Davy who should be credited with this invention in 1801, almostforty years earlier3. The successful development of combustion-mechanical power-dynamotechnology in the early 1900 overshadowed any attempts to commercially develop fuel cells’direct conversion for many years to come.

As a debate over theengineering curriculum grew, S.C.

Adraft of the report also recommended that engineering be bifurcated (Seely, 1995).
