materials is highlighted by the extensive research that has been and is being conductedin each of these areas. Books have been written and there are journals devoted exclusively forpublishing research on each of these topics. Yet this impressive pool of knowledge has had littleimpact on the undergraduate engineering education and hence had little impact on industrial prac-tices. One reason for the small impact of mechanics research on undergraduate education is therequired mathematics to teach the mechanics concepts related to fracture, interface stresses, andstress gradients in composites is well beyond the exposure that undergraduate get in a typicalengineering curriculum. The mathematics that is so essential in explaining stress behavior

The Essential Ingredients for SuccessThe most important ingredient to accomplish the goals of the simulation is to get the students to“show up”. They have great skepticism about doing such a “game”; as much, if not more than inbusiness7. We find that the proper “hook” is free food and, occasionally, extra credit toward thecourse grade. In fact, we say very little about the details of the simulation in advance becausestudents severely prejudge what should happen and will conclude that being there would be awaste of time. Evidence of this is in some quotes from final debriefing surveys (Student initials).“I must admit that when I first read over the

The paper also argues that any meaningful change in Region’s classroompractices today (dominated by traditional lecture-based methods) must be mandated andsupported by the university administration. What is necessary to create a change, is for thedepartment or college, to have a comprehensive and integrated set of components: clearlyarticulated expectations, opportunities for faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and anequitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies ofengagement.

 AbstractMany laboratory courses focus on teaching experimental techniques and often do this byproviding step-by-step protocols for students to follow. While this technique exposes thestudents to hands-on experiences and allows them to learn in a controlled environment, it doesnot always promote a deep understanding of the material because the students fail to constructknowledge. To address this, the sophomore-level systems physiology laboratory course has beenrecently modified to include more active learning.The systems physiology laboratory course is structured around measuring common physiologicalsignals, including EMG, EEG, ECG, and pulmonary function. Students work in groups and useBIOPAC hardware and software to record and analyze these signals
