ABSTRACT
This document consists of a workshop presentation on
active learning in the engineering classroom. Eight sessions focus
(1) the format and purpose of the workshop, which is designed to
on:
help instructors use active learning principles in the classroom;
(2)
the state of instruction in the engineering sciences;
(3) the stages
of knowledge and learning and the use of competency matrices in
student evaluation; (4) the essential elements of active learning,
including positive interdependence, individual accountability, group
processing, and face-to-face interaction;
(5) a proposed learning
culture and the effectiveness of various learning and teaching
the roles of team leaders, facilitators, and members in
styles;
(6)
team-based active learning;
(7) the structure and design of active
learning exercises and homework problems; and (8) student evaluation.
An appendix contains notes on change in the learning environment, the
