Therefore, metrics have been proposed to provide a quantitative and qualitativemeasure of success.To measure success, one must first define it. In many cases, this definition can be found in thephilosophy that departments adopt in educating their students. For example, the philosophy ofUMD’s Mechanical Engineering department is to graduate students "... with the skills and theknowledge base which are necessary for success

substances. Structure-function relationships are useful for explaining the importance of bonding to students. Other relevant topics that can be discussed during this Chemproject include polymers, materials science, and mechanical properties of materials. This last topic is particularly interesting to mechanical engineering students who find it difficult too see the relevance of chemistry to their profession.• The Effect of Phospates on the Cleansing Ability of Detergents Students design and implement a quantitative procedure that determines the effect of added phosphate on the cleansing ability of a detergent. A solution of beta-carrotene is provided to the students as a stain source. This project
