Nineteen college level students that are in their junior year have been indoctrinated in a two year college teachereducationprogram that was designed to not only show them previously designed Pipes but also instruct the in the art of designing their own program.

In the discussions, the dents discussed how to write variousgoalsand objectives in developing personal Pipes. Multiple examples and case studies were utilized in developing their personal Pipes.
