Abstract
The focus of the workshop will be to develop a highly interactive learning environment for faculty members who attend this workshop. The participants will work with state-of-the art instructional materials that have been successfully used in several universities, with about 5,000 undergraduate engineering students. These materials have been developed as part of three National Science Foundation grants. The duration of the workshop will be two hours, in a laboratory in which each participant will have access to a computer

Learning Objectives
Introduce participants to the LITEE case studies by involving hands-on experience with the multimedia materials provided (we can provide in advance the multimedia CD of a case study). After becoming familiar with the case study, participants will explore possible ways to integrate this case study into their classes' syllabi.

Topical Outline
The objectives of the LITEE instructional materials are for students to

  • Obtain basic training in technical and nontechnical skills
  • Integrate business skills with technical knowledge
  • Enhance the decision-making skills
  • Use principles of risk and cost management to solve problems
  • Enhance teamwork among members, thereby increasing productivity
