, we teach the students to fashion sentences onthe spot after planning and practice. Although the recommendation to students in all sections ofthis course is to speak extemporaneously, the textbook used in the regular sections advises thecreation and use of speaking notes.24 These speaking notes, which are described as condensedversions of a preparation outline, contain the following: key words or phrases for points, sub-points, transitions, statistics, and delivery cues (such as stage directions). Perhaps because of this recommendation of speaking notes, observations from a speakingcontest associated with the course reveal that the overwhelming majority of students read from ascript, rely on a stack of note cards, or read bulleted

endeavour. At first, one may betempted to categorize the enterprise of engineering and science into one that contains massivedistractions by the nature of their existing. For instance, the structure of universities, laboratories,industrial complexes, and even the clutter basement or garage of an armchair practitioner, cancontain reinforce thoughtlessness. Another example, is that the process of either science ofengineering, both of which being built upon previous works, in itself could engender humanpractitioners only concerned with furthering a particular line of work and not actively thinkingwhile undertaking such work.

Thestudents had prior practice in creating similar system diagrams for other technological systems.Other parts of the course include class activities, laboratories, and homework assignments thatinvolve creating system diagrams. Some of the other technological systems studied include:automotive systems, home appliances, refrigeration systems, and biomedical devices. Thestudents are familiar with this type of question and have had the opportunity to practice makingsystem diagrams in a variety of contexts.To provide some background on this system, the Extended Range Mode for the Chevy Volt is aninteresting mode of operation.

One student wrote on his evaluation form “I learned a great deal about themajor I chose. And I also learned that I didn’t want to do engineering but am thankful that youhelped me make up my mind.” The most common comment from students on whatimprovements could be made to the class were suggestions dealing with having hands-onprojects, segregating the class at times to focus on particular majors, and having actual visits tothe departments to see facilities and laboratories rather than having the departmentalrepresentative come and make a presentation

It is also considered bymany to be among the group of schools termed the "Southern Ivies".

Purdueis one of the first Land Grant universities, with engagement, research, and traditional academicgoals. Students at Purdue can gain practical experience in service learning projects throughEPICS, research projects through employment in on-going laboratory projects with faculty, andwork experience through employment with various university partner organizations. It wasdetermined that we would use the term “experiential education” to describe this larger spectrumof practical experience. Unfortunately, Co-Op does not adequately describe all of the types of traditional workexperience

Taking fundamental theoretical concepts and applying them to real lifeengineering problems helped to solidify the students’ understanding of those fundamentals. Inmany ways this validation parallels the value attributed to undergraduate internship and coopprograms as well as other experiential learning experiences.
