Second, I hope you'll find that this learning model can help you transition to how you will learn after you graduate. Continuing to learn and grow as an engineer is absolutely crucial-- if you can't develop as a professional, you've got a real problem on your hands. This course will give you a chance to see what happens when you're the one deciding what you're trying to learn and how to go about doing it. My hope is that as you set learning goals and try meeting them, you get some insight into what works well or not so well for you. You are, of course, welcome to try different strategies during the semester.

One warning: you may think to yourself, "Sweet! This class is going to be so easy! I'll just set my goals to be learning virtually nothing, and then succeed at that! Graduation, here I come!" If you take a disciplined approach, that might work, but the far more likely outcome is that the class will be engaging to you, and you will spend a bunch of time learning stuff, despite your best efforts. If you just want a reliably easy course, take something predictable with a traditional grading structure, where there is no danger of your natural enthusiasm for learning fouling everything up.
