decentralization of government that began in the1980’s, in which local communities, which often lack expertise and resources, are calledupon to address societal needs in health care, safety, education, and the environment. Aspart of the civic awakening of America’s higher education, Boyer proposes the idea of“scholarship of engagement” where academic institutions become “more vigorouspartner[s] in the search for answers to our most pressing social, civic, economic, andmoral problems.” “In addition to research, the work of the academy must relate to theworld beyond the campus,” he wrote. In Boyer’s view, because scholarship, andconsequently the faculty reward system, has been narrowly defined in most universities,“the rich diversity and potential of

Located in Angola, Indiana, TSU isapproximately 45 miles northeast of Ft. Wayne and 60 miles west of Toledo, Ohio.

However, another benefit that was not evident previously, was soon Session 2793apparent – students seemed to retain their knowledge better in a time-shortened format. The longsummer break often proved quite detrimental to learning, as students tended to “forget” thematerial upon their return from the break.Yet another format of intensive-courses, that came about in the late 70’s is modular-offerings ofclasses.

Increased chances of obtaining both more advanced hardware and softwarethrough institutional and outside national resources seemed to serve as another incentive.
