Content: A means to learn engineering principles more effectively, the service is linked to the course content and study requirements. • Partnerships and Reciprocity: involving students, faculty, the community and possibly companies, and when done well, all partners contribute to the work, receive benefits from the work and learn from the work. Page 25.255.3 • Mutual Learning: Based on mutual respect, students learn from expertise and knowledge in the community partners, as the partners can learn about engineering and technology. Deeper levels of learning can be gained as they work together and impact each
(b) Use activity-based guided-inquiry curricular materials (c) Use a learning cycle beginning with predictions (d) Emphasize conceptual understanding (e) Let the physical world be the authority (f) Evaluate student understanding (g) Make appropriate use of technology (h) Begin with the specific and move to the generalIdentifying Critical engineering Concepts and Misconceptions Misconceptions related to heat, energy and temperature are widely recognized in the literature(Carlton, 2000; Jasien and Oberem, 2002; Thomas et al., 1995; Sozbilir, 2003). This study focuses onfour targeted concept areas related to heat transfer that were

As with any exam, this can be useful feedback* The Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering Learning Tool at Oregon State University Page 25.261.6 is an example of fast-feedback technology.

When the teacher discusses the exam,the concepts missed after the group exam can be the focus, thus reducing
