摘要：A lack of knowledge about teaching and learning that is quite common amongst engineering academics combined with a heavy set of professional demands, leads many teaching engineers to use outdated models of instruction or to simply repeat the teaching strategies that they themselves experienced. The present article seeks to inform engineering academics that there exist simple, yet powerful methods to design courses that will be effective for promoting learning and will be efficient in terms of preparation time. Students’ opinions and desires regarding teaching and learning are also considered to provide a measure of the challenge associated with course design. In particular, the elements of learner centered course design are described with an emphasis on linking teaching and evaluation strategies to levels of learning and learning outcomes. Read along, slip into the role of a student for a while and see what engineering educational technology can do for, or to, you and your teaching and learning skills.
