organizationsunderstand they must prepare employees to compete in the global economy, to meet and exceedservice expectations, to adjust to changing roles and new technologies, and to respond to currentand future global pressures. Continuing education and training is no longer considered a cost tocut, but rather an investment to attract and retain the best workforce7. From Rose-Hulman’sperspective, it is also a way to stay connected with practicing professionals and be aware of theircurrent needs. Thus, continuing education promotes excellence in fulfilling the on-campuseducational mission by helping to assure that curricula, materials and delivery techniques areappropriate for the challenges that will be faced by the Institute’s graduates.To paraphrase Jim

For the most part, these are going to be the “grunts.”From this point of view, the traditional ways of educating engineers are impossible because thestudents differ so from the past. For example, another, more senior Friendly professor mentionedthat incoming freshmen did not know how to solve equations. Thus, a lack of innovation in one’steaching was not seen as the fundamental source of a lower quality "product." However, viewingthe graduates of his program as doing only low-level engineering work allowed the exitingprofessor to avoid the ethical challenge of passing incompetent engineers forward to graduation. Faculty varied in their beliefs about the fairness and the practicality of adding curricularand

For example, the overwhelming majority offormal student-faculty contact hours in engineering education remains based on the in-classlecture. The weaknesses of the traditional lecture as the prime source of academic learning, havehowever become clear.1-3 Specifically, many feel that the exclusive use of lectures can create apassive learning environment that reinforces any pre-existing “teach me” attitudes in students.4Ongoing research in educational methods at WPI5 has also
