applications of Gibbs energy are included in the course. An overall goal is for the students tohave a preliminary working knowledge of Gibbs free energy and chemical potential. In fact, accordingto course pre-requisites, they have already been introduced to Gibbs in their introductory chemistrycourses. Gibbs energy combines the two state properties, enthalpy (H) and entropy (S), and thus is theapplication of all that has been learned in the course to this point. One might chose chapter 3 in Atkins 13 to introduce Gibbs energy. The level of coverage hasnot been completely agreed on, but it cannot go as far as Atkins. A key challenge for the syllabusdevelopment is to choose a set of example problems, which illustrate the application of Gibbs

take precedence overexpediency. Understand the consequences of your choices and act accordingly.In the late 1800's engineering had grown from its civil base to encompass developments aroundsteam power. This gave rise to mechanical engineering and a well-entrenched bureaucracy of shop-based engineers controlling the profession and its educational component.The issue of shop versus school varied depending on the field of engineering. Civil engineering —perhaps because of Monge — took to academics faster than mechanical engineering. In fact theterm “shop culture” is derived from the practicality of a machine shop, and the attitude that allengineering education began (and frequently ended) with the machine shop.The real break with the hands-on

Page 25.560.32.1.3 Scratch CardsFollowing an introduction to the TA union and its responsibilities, scratch cards (see Appendix C– Figure C4) were used to administer a brief, closed-book, multiple-choice quiz on the material(see Appendix D1). The benefit of the scratch card is that if the trainee is unsure of the answer,s/he can scratch out all possible answers until the correct one is revealed. The use of scratchcards in this instance allows us to convey important material to the trainees in a quick andeffective way. Because the answers are provided immediately to the trainees via the scratch card,discussion can be kept brief and to the point.3.

In this view, the level of quality is determined by the extent to which aproduct or service meets its stated purpose(s) or requirement(s). Due to a lack of consensusamong different stakeholders and/or customers, it is challenging to articulate the purpose ofhigher education. The objective of higher education may be instruction in skills, promotion of thegeneral powers of the mind, advancement of learning, and transmission of a common culture andstandard of citizenship [6]. The above list is not exhaustive as the objective of higher educationmay also include developing critical thinking abilities, creativity, gainful employment, thediscovery of knowledge, and social

These areskills that are not taught in most engineering curriculums prior to the capstone course(s). Ourobservations are consistent with the observations by other researchers who have studied thedesign process. Wilson et. al 2 highlighted how students in the capstone course setting strugglewith setting milestones and soliciting feedback at the right times.

He then suggeststhat an important element is required, this is, teaching kids that talent takes time to develop andrequires continuous effort.The notion of continuous effort is based on work by the Stanford psychologist, Carol S. Dweck.8In her work, she looks at “growth mindset”, which believes in time and effort, versus a “fixedmindset”, or the belief that achievement results from abilities we are born with. In her studies,children praised for their intelligence quickly became discouraged when given a version of an IQtest, contrasted to children that were praised for their efforts, who improved their final scores.This work, combined with the extensive work at the University of Pennsylvania, helps to set thestage for the search for
