If it is not addressed in a common course(s), should it be deleted from the list of common items? • Do other measures relating to the competency validate or support the results reflected in the survey? Were similar concerns expressed in the exit interview? Were the areas that ranked lower also showing up as problem areas in the capstone course projects?

the revision cycle of this paper I noticed that several aspects of my system that Iconsidered critical during my first-term already appear to be unnecessary. The personalmanagement system the reader chooses should be continually evolving as the instructor learnsand grows. The goal of this paper was to identify several issues that new faculty may encounterand give an organizational example that might elicit ideas to help develop a system of their own.Refer ences1.

Zais, in Curriculum: Principles and Foundations,4 holds that educator should first determinethe purpose of the education and then create a curriculum and method of teaching to produce that result. Itis important to keep this concept in mind when developing writing assignments. Writing assignments tiedto course goals and professional skills are well received by the students. If the assignments are too infor-mal or too broadly defined, the students may develop the attitude that the assignment is just something tokeep them busy.The NeedProfessionals must keep abreast of new developments in their fields to be successful.

(CHP-B) is an important twenty-first centuryemphasis area for the U. S. Department of Energy (USDOE). By coupling local electricitygeneration (gas turbines, fuel cells, internal combustion engines,…) with thermally-activatedbuilding systems (absorption chillers, desiccant dehumidifiers, heat recovery steamgenerators,…) system thermal efficiencies in excess of 80 percent are possible. The high thermalefficiencies of CHP-B systems contrast with the near-30 percent thermal efficiencies of stand-alone, simple-cycle, fossil-fuel power plants. The USDOE perspective on CHP-B is available onthe web site (1) www.chpb.net. The USDOE is interested in CHP-B because the wide-spreadadoption and use of CHP systems would markedly reduce fossil fuel

This technology, central in bothresearch and product development, was included as a topic within the course. Additionally,student feedback suggested increasing the biological content of the course. Hence, the geneticengineering section was expanded to 50% of the course, and a problem set that enabledapplication of concept was developed. Since manufacture and drug delivery were consideredimportant areas that lie interface of biology and engineering, they were streamlined and re-oriented toward course goals

You now know that light damping can lead to such problems in mechanical systems; so one solution would be to increase the resistance to motion. What else can you do to eliminate such problems?

The specific EBI tool for eachoccasion was chosen by considering the readiness of the student to formulate and considersignificant questions regarding the course material. No formal procedure is suggested todetermine choice of the tool but the instructor should consider the type of student questions thathe would like to prompt from the EBI.Bibliography1.
