Next, we further clarifythe grounding in liberation as a complement to ethical, political, economic, and more familiarmodes of social thought. With that context set we then focus on the emergence of imaginalcapacity in struggles against oppression. Finally, the pilot curriculum is described and datacollection and analysis are discussed.2.

their program we should consider introducing more projects starting from the firstyear since these students want to see where they will apply the knowledge they gain in class rightaway. 5. Future Plans There are many options available for implementing this kind of a project. Overall, thegoal is to spread the material throughout the course as much as possible so that the workload forthe students is not intense. It is also good for students to revisit and analyze their resultsfrequently so that it stays fresh in their minds. With this in mind, it may be desirable to introducesome concepts and calculations earlier. For example, students could begin learning about vehiclespeed and acceleration concepts prior to the force chapters

To encapsulate thesignificance of real-word engineering applications, students were asked to analyze either the cranemodel or Baltimore-bridge model as a mid-term project. For such task, students were required totake measurements from the selected model, register the type of loads designated by the instructor,and utilize the mathematical techniques from class to analyze its behavior.In terms of incorporating such physical models into lesson plans, the instructor arranged the lecturesessions by introduction, inquiry, visual model

We did this by providing the students with sections of a pool noodle, scissors, and rubber bands to fasten the "life jacket" to the figures.

Theseresults point to a need for finding new ways of teaching that will help the student recognize,understand and apply the engineering concepts learned from the freshman to the senior year. Theresults are not conclusive, since these are the results of the first year of the project. To obtainmore consistent data, the principal investigator plans to include similar projects in his electronicsclass for the following two years. The surveys will be improved to include questions that willintentionally focus on the concepts with weakest understanding. The results of
