basisoften in another location where there may be issues getting particular courses. When a studentleaves early, the program completion rate suffers and there is lost income to the college. As thecurricula were developed, consideration was given to keeping required undergraduate coursesthroughout the last year of the program. The senior design project usually provides thisconstraint in that it may not be possible to offer that course(s) out of sequence. In the case of theElectrical – MBA program in Figure 1, it is typically not possible to complete all of the SeniorElectives (EE Sr Elec) prior to the 5th year.Advanced Placement – Completing both degrees in five years requires that students are ahead ofthe traditional curriculum.

Teaching Practicum providesa competitive advantage to the mechanical engineering doctoral degree at Georgia Tech. Theconsensus opinion appears to be in retaining the current topics in the course. Considerationshould be given for adding a session(s) on obtaining research funding and preparing grantproposals. Also, since many graduates do not enter academia, more coverage could be spent onadditional topics from industry and other career paths.Bibliography1.

Almost as critical as the list of tasks is expectations, asthey can make or break a day. Having a crew show up really hoping to weed a site, and thenasking them pick up litter can put a damper on the day. It is important to give the volunteers aclear sense of what they will be doing, if they will be working with other groups, and any otherrelevant pieces of information.As part of having clear communication
