Within the last decades, education has undergone multiple transformations including offering preset syllabi and technology-based modes of presentation to learners. Parallel to these changes has been the emergence of efforts addressing diversity, equity and inclusion, leading to critical discussions on issues within higher education and aligned…

Introducing creative elements into the syllabus and pedagogy of an Entrepreneurship class in a business school can be a risky endeavour for an educator and students alike. Populating the class with students from traditionally risk-averse cultures provides opportunities for everyone involved. Identifying the core behavioural issues for students in…

This article provides a description of an undergraduate research course with an experimental orientation toward learning research methods. Included are descriptions of both class and individual projects and the skills developed in critical reading, ethical issues, and research design. (JDH)

The objectives for a general one-semester college course in mathematics are discussed. The content covered in looking at "traditional" mathematical systems, computers in society, and statistics from a consumer's viewpoint are briefly described. (DT)

Two questions are dealt with: (1) Can those strategies or behaviors which enable experts to solve problems well be characterized, and (2) Can students be trained to use such strategies? A problem-solving course for college students is described and the model on which the course is based is outlined in an attempt to answer these questions. The…

A self-study program in mathematics for undergraduates is described. The units present topics not normally covered in traditional curricula. (MP)

A noncredit course is described in which the logic used in various episodes of "Star Trek" is analyzed to see whether or not it was valid. (MP)

A beginning college statistics course which emphasizes nonparametric procedures is described. (DT)

Discusses an introductory engineering design course in which students construct models to illustrate process or building design. (MLH)

This article describes a mathematics course in which industrial and governmental problems are addressed, studied, and solved by teams of students working under faculty supervision. (DT)

The organization of a course in recreational mathematics for teachers is described. (DT)

This document discusses the importance of computing knowledge and experience in the techniques of fast data retrieval for today's engineer. It describes a course designed to teach the engineer the COBOL Language structure. One of the projects of the course, a report generator (REGE) written in COBOL which is used to alter, sort and print selected…

An engineering graphics course offered at North Carolina State University for freshman engineering students is described. The course is divided into 14 units and the students are allowed to proceed at their own pace. The first 11 units comprise the required core; the remaining 3 units may be chosen from other areas such as computer graphics,…

A required senior-level chemical engineering course at Colorado State University is described. The first nine weeks are devoted to the theory portion of the course, which includes the following topics: LaPlace transformations and time constants, block diagrams, inverse transformations, linearization, frequency response analysis, graphical…

A study of the concepts of relativity and quantum physics through the work of Bohr and Einstein is the basis for this upper level course for nonscience students. Along with their scientific philosophies, the political and moral theories of the scientists are studied. (CP)
