importantissue by reviewing some of the techniques for connecting with students that have been reportedby other engineering educators, followed by a review of the discussion and suggestions from arecent seminar/discussion held on this topic at the University of Arkansas (U of A). While theliterature suggests that better classroom organization is effective in reaching students, educatorsmust also realize that many different learning styles and preferences are represented by thestudents in our classes. Centering the class on an advanced technology or a theme, such as aplant trip or life cycle assessment, can help us better reach the students. However, sometimes thelittle things—getting to know the students, providing time for interaction or engaging
