Pensando nisso, os alunos do curso de graduação em engenharia mecânica da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) sentiram a necessidade de avaliar o curso em busca de melhorias no ensino adotado até então. Este artigo aborda a pesquisa realizada pelo Centro Acadêmico de Engenharia Mecânica (CAME) com alunos do curso, sobre os professores e suas atuações na formação dos profissionais de engenharia. É feita uma análise dos resultados e também são apresentadas algumas ideias que surgiram a partir dessa iniciativa, a fim de melhorar a qualidade de ensino e aumentar a interação professor-aluno.

... ET AL . Conclusion: Knowledge and Skills for Professional Practice Tim W. Clark Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Murray B. Rutherford Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative Kim Ziegelmayer Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Michael J. Stevenson Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies Most professionals beginning their careers in species and ecosystem conservation conceive of their future work in terms of hands-on tasks in the field (“doing something important in the real world”). Whether on the domestic or the international scene, typically the forester sees themselves laying out timber sales, the fisheries biologist looks forward to surveying streams, and the range specialist expects to be classifying grasslands. Current curricula in most universities largely mirror this common view. We train future foresters to address logging problems in the Pacific Northwest or in the tropics, or conservation biologists to design a reserve or study an endangered species. But in actual practice, most professionals spend only part—and sometimes a small part—of their time attending to technical tasks in the field. Professionals, over a career or a lifetime, participate in many activities well beyond fieldwork, and there is much more to building a successful professional practice today than skills...

...Understanding Student Differences bers into formulas but they don’t know how to think!” And yet, most engineering departments have one or more faculty members Department of Chemical Engineering North Carolina State University who manage to get many of those same students to perform at remarkably high levels, displaying first-rate problem-solving and critREBECCA BRENT ical and creative thinking skills. Skill deficiencies observed in engiEducation Designs, Inc. neering graduates must therefore also be attributable in part to what instructors are doing or failing to do. An implication of these observations is that to reduce enrollABSTRACT ment attrition and improve the thinking and problem-solving skills of engineering graduates, engineering schools should attempt to Students have different levels of motivation, different attitudes improve the quality of their teaching, which in turn requires underabout teaching and learning, and different responses to specific standing the learning needs of today’s engineering students and declassroom environments and instructional practices.

Preface This isn’t really a teacher’s manual, not, at least, in the sense of a catechism of questions and correct answers and interpretations. Because the questions provided after each selection in Rereading America are meant to stimulate dialogue and debate — to generate rather than terminate discourse — they rarely lend themselves to a single appropriate response. So, while we’ll try to clarify what we had in mind when framing a few of the knottier questions, we won’t be offering you a list of “right” answers. Instead, regard this manual as your personal support group. Since the publication of the first edition, we’ve had the chance to learn from the experiences of hundreds of instructors nationwide, and we’d like to use this manual as a forum where we can share some of their concerns, suggestions, experiments, and hints. We’ll begin with a roundtable on issues you’ll probably want to address before you meet your class. In the first section of this manual, we’ll discuss approaches to...

MCMANUS The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company op yo The Master said, Govern the people by regulations, keep order among them by chastisements, and they will flee from you, and lose all self-respect. Govern them by moral force, keep order among them by ritual, and they will keep their self-respect and come to you of their own accord. — The Analects of Confucius tC James McBride, general manager of the new Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C., faced the largest challenge of his successful career. A proven veteran of the luxury hotel chain’s march across Asia, McBride’s most recent assignment was as the general manager of the 248-room Ritz-Carlton in Kuala Lumpur. Opened in 1998, the hotel was named “Best Hotel in Asia-Pacific” in the eighth Business Traveler Asia/Pacific magazine Travel Awards Subscribers’ Survey and, for two consecutive years, “Best Business Hotel in Malaysia” by Business Asia and Bloomberg Television.1 As Nikheel Advani, food and beverage services director for the Washington hotel, noted: “James is excellent—we have opened many hotels together. In the place where you didn’t think that it had a chance, he made it the best hotel. That’s his talent. That’s what he can do really well. It’s for the entrepreneurial person who wants to get involved and who thinks they can make a difference.” Do No But this was a new situation, even for McBride. For the first time,...

...Gabriel Garcia Marquez One Hundred Years of Solitude Chapter 1 MANY YEARS LATER as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. At that time Macondo was a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished stones, which were white and enormous, like prehistoric eggs. The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point. Every year during the month of March a family of ragged gypsies would set up their tents near the village, and with a great uproar of pipes and kettledrums they would display new inventions. First they brought the magnet. A heavy gypsy with an untamed beard and sparrow hands, who introduced himself as Melquíades, put on a bold public demonstration of what he himself called the eighth wonder of the learned al-chemists of Macedonia. He went from house to house dragging two metal ingots and everybody was amazed to see pots, pans, tongs, and braziers tumble down from their places and beams creak from the desperation of nails and screws trying to emerge, and even objects that had been lost for a long time appeared from where they had been searched for most and went dragging along in turbulent confusion behind Melquíades’ magical irons. “Things have a life of their own,” the gypsy proclaimed with a harsh accent. “It’s simply a matter of waking up their souls.” José...
