where group work was encouragedin the laboratory but beyond that students were not provided with context to work in groups. Infact, to a large extent students were asked to work on their homework separately. Thus the socialdynamic in physics and engineering was quite different.The results of the interviews with physics faculty members indicated that the faculty memberswere more likely than the students to see similarities and connections between the problems onthe Electromagnetics exam and the physics problems that they cover in their courses. Thephysics faculty members pointed to three major differences between the problems inElectromagnetics and physics. First, they observed that the mathematical formalism was moresophisticated in the

fundamental to its creation, the teaching anddelivery of the course will determine the ultimate success. This is one of the first engineeringcourses that students take during their college careers, so it is important to engage the students inlearning about their discipline. However this engagement must be done in a way that permitsmultiple instructors and multiple sections to be taught to offer uniformity in computingexperiences. One way to engage the student is using in-class assignments and exercises. We refer Page 13.772.3to these as “in-class labs” to convey the laboratory nature of these exercises.Essentially, the course (TE/ISE 110) revolves

The class included ~50 students. The key topics covered in CEE3314include: Open channel flow; hydrology; hydraulic modeling; hydraulic machinery and structuresand lecture content are supported by laboratory experiments and demonstrations. Two specialproblems involving design of trapezoidal channels with flexible lining and grass lining weredesigned for the proposed Tablet sessions. It may be
tasked to obtain the following site-specific soil data as well as pertinent design codes: previous land use, design codes, rainfall data,common building materials, local construction techniques and practices in Ghana and some sitephotographs. Most importantly, the group provided soil samples from specific locations of thesite and these were sent to an academic institution in Ghana where laboratory testing wasperformed. This was extremely important because of the difficulty in bringing soil samples fromanother country to the United States. Through this collaboration, most of the engineering datawas obtained prior to the student team working on the project.Collaboration with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology (KNUST),GhanaAs

students by combining laboratory experiencewith weekly instructional seminars in an attempt to foster future success in graduateschool. This approach was designed and implemented for a ten-week summer researchexperience program for undergraduate students. The weekly instructional seminar seriesaddressed research skills in three key areas: communication, investigation, anddocumentation. The seminar series began with the “Communications Seminars,” where studentparticipants learned how to concisely explain their research topics through an ‘elevatortalk’ activity, a common exercise utilized in business fields. Followed by “InvestigationSeminars,” that addressed conducting literature reviews and creating annotatedbibliographies. Instructions on
, fabricate, and test devices. Some needs were modest and could be accommodated in theteam rooms or existing laboratories. However, the handbook had no guidelines for requestingrooms or other types of spaces, nor did the program have any significant predefined spaceallocated in advance. As is with most other colleges, excess space is rarely available. The processwas therefore ad-hoc and required the involvement of many college administrators to help “find”space. This lack of immediate space influenced the student team’s ability to develop anappropriate statement of work in partnership with the sponsor liaison as they could not make anassumptions about having dedicated facilities.A lesson learned here is that if at all possible, the program and
