college teaching workshops (CTWs). These workshopsaim to help TAs, NTGSs, faculty, and university staff, develop self-efficacy and feelings ofpreparedness by exposing them to a wide variety of topics that relate to pedagogical knowledgeand pedagogical content knowledge. Specifically, workshop topics include: student-teacherrelationships, policies and procedures related to teaching, syllabus construction, course design,presentation techniques, practice teaching, objective test creation, subjective test design andgrading, and preventing and responding to cheating. Each workshop was constructed to contain acombination of lecture, discussion, and activities in which participants are provided withopportunities to interact with one another as well as

When amessage is sent from point A to B, the simulated model can project animation of the flowbetween the two points.

In this course, students learn principles and methodologies in design interaction, andexplore and practice relevant innovative processes (see syllabus in Appendix C). The course isvery interactive: students are engaged in many hands-on activities, discussions, lecturing andsharing information. They teach others about specific design books that they have read, and workin teams on assistive technology projects. The course targets several skills, in particular, thosethat are related to innovative problem solving and entrepreneurial thinking, understanding the“big picture,” as well as personal and social skills. The paper focuses mainly on engaging activities. It describes hands-on interactive

TheCASCADE objectives include infusion of the design process for freshman through senior; anincrease of retention of engineering undergraduate students; and an increase in the 6-yearengineering undergraduate graduation rate. Strategies to achieve these objectives includeincorporation of design experience into targeted engineering courses at all levels; creation of aninnovative cascaded mentoring program; and linkage to the TAMUK Javelina InnovationLaboratory (JIL).
