The intent is to help students to organize the team function but notintended to be the only time the team meets.After the conceptual designs are generated a decision analysis is performed.

The student is only required to rememberthis fact and reproduce it faithfully. ApplicationA student achieves a deeper understanding when s/he is able to assemble the facts learned inclass and apply them to a new, unfamiliar problem. These questions would probably be similarin difficulty to routine homework exercises, and require a deeper level of assimilation of thematerial that simply recalling what has already been demonstrated.

students for presentation has several positive aspects. Primary among these is investing the professor’s time working directly with Page 4.469.6 student(s) instead of investing it in lecture preparations. If managed well, this technique is time neutral. It does not save time, but it does not add time either. To ensure success, the professor must meet with the student(s) before the presentation to ensure that the problem solution is understood and afterwards to critique and grade the student’s effort. If the student is not ready, the class should not be presented with the wrong solution. The presentation should be rescheduled

For example, the laboratory activityinvolves a hands-on approach. We would like to be able to determine whether students whohave a tactile learning style preference perform better when given the opportunity to perform thelaboratory activity as opposed to traditional teaching strategies. Thus, we plan to use the datacollected to help us determine the role(s) that learning style may play in terms of studentunderstanding of the collision process after exposure to the interactive laboratory

The level of the outcomespecified in the new class in the areas of leadership, professional and ethical responsibility, andteamwork meets the level suggested in ASCE’s BOK2.

In the mid to late 1990’s the focus was predominantlyconcerned with deficiencies in graduate engineers in terms of complementary skills such asteamwork, communications and business skills 1. More recently, there has been a shifttowards acknowledgement of the primacy of the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to realindustrial applications2 or as Ferguson warns, a danger of losing the basic analytical skills inthe push for employment ready graduates3.The response to these concerns includes the
