The instructor can develop a “current topic assignment” where students are requiredto research or discuss a non-technical issue related to their careers. For example, the 2016 U.S.Presidential Campaigns present an opportunity for students to discuss the candidates’ leadershipabilities and policy ideas. When considering the controversial rhetoric spoken by somecandidates, civility can also be discussed. The election of a new U.S. President is relevant forengineering and technology students since it impacts their education and careers.

These so calledprofessional master’s or Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees are designed for the individualwho is seeking a competitive edge upon embarking on a career in industry, but is not interestedin completing an in-depth research project and publishing. Students entering these programs areanxious to enter the work force, as such the programs are typically designed to be completed in-residence, in one year or less. While it is not impossible to do so, the large majority of theseindividuals will not continue on to complete a Ph.D. upon graduation from these programs. Assuch, the M.Eng. degree is often viewed as a terminal graduate degree.The professional master’s degree is of course not a novel concept. Around the turn of the centurythe
