Current Practices

Design in chemical engineering should aim at reaching a balance between theory and practice in engineering education in order to have students better prepared for their future endeavors. As students progress through the curriculum they learn more fundamental engineering science, more design components are introduced into courses and the complexity of the design problems increases. Elements of design are introduced in many courses and culminate in a capstone design course. Current practices in Chemical Engineering at McGill University are described here and general perspectives are discussed.

General Recognition

The general recognition of the importance of vibration study, as a specialised branch of engineering science, is clearly reflected in the fact that each year sees the publication of a great number of papers on all aspects of vibration theory and practice. The theoretical papers most commonly describe new methods of analysis and calculation, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the general engineer, who has neither the time nor the inclination to follow in great detail the development of all the specialised subjects, of which vibration study is only one, to retain in his mind a clear picture of the general strategy applicable to the attack on vibration problems, and to fit into this strategical scheme the tactical operations represented by the new methods.

Personal Success

Abstract In the early elementary grades, the primary emphasis is on developing skills crucial to future academic and personal success—specifically oral and written communication skills. These skills are vital to student success as well as to meaningful participation in the classroom and interaction with peers. Children with complex communication needs (CCN) may require the use of high-performance speech generating devices (SGDs). The challenges for these students are further complicated by the task of learning language at a time when they are expected to apply their linguistic skills to academic tasks. However, by focusing on core vocabulary as a primary vehicle for instruction, educators can equip students who use SGDs to develop language skills and be competitive in the classroom. In this article, we will define core vocabulary and provide theoretical and practical insights into integrating it into the classroom routine for developing oral and written communication skills.
