sciencelecture time, it was essential to the success of this endeavor that students entering thematerial science course in the fall semester of 2004 had achieved and retained areasonable degree of fluency with the Inventor solid modeling package. In practice, itwas discovered early on in the materials course that the class could be divided into twogroups based on their level of achievement with solid modeling: 1. Students who had not mastered solid modeling skills, or were not able to retain their solid modeling skills 2. Students with a good working knowledge of solid modeling.Population wise, about 80% of the class fell into the first category, (i.e. those studentsthat did not have usable solid modeling skills), with only 20% making up the

The founders of that institution recognized that forfuture technological leaders (still primarily military, but increasingly civilian) knowledge and skillsneeded for a successful career, could no longer be provided by the centuries old education modelof one master and few apprentices. Education of a goal-minded individual who uses technicalknowledge as a principal tool and communicates effectively with non-technical personnel becamethe emphasis of the education in that institution.

EducationTypes of TablesTables need to be developed to describe entities and processes, but which tables? A good ap-proach to specifying tables is first to be aware of the different types of tables, and then use thetable types as a checklist to see which tables are needed for each entity or process. Tables can becategorized as descriptive, transaction, child, reference, summary, or historical, as well as tablesserving multiple purposes. From the onset, it must be stressed that the only fields that should bein more than one table are identifiers, such as for employees (EmpID ) or projects (ProjID ).1. Descriptive or master tables typically contain fairly static data typically dealing with entities, such as employee, product, or customer tables. A

IntroductionUniversity professors commonly deliver course content in a traditional lecture room setting.They typically prepare lectures in advance. They enter the lecture room, use blackboard andmultimedia equipment to convey information and ideas, and they entertain questions fromstudents.

difficult to incorporate into the usual time-limited undergraduate course. (2) Some students find the material particularly challenging to learn and master. This may be due to the integration of mathematical concepts that these students either never learned in the first instance, or have not used in several years and have therefore forgotten. The challenge may arise from the fact that, unlike some other chemical engineering courses, there is neither a specific formula that can be applied to most situations (e.g., the Navier-Stokes equation in fluid mechanics) nor an example problem in the text that will mirror all of the steps required to solve the problem. Alternatively, this situation may be due

The remaining degreeswere to citizens of other states and foreign nationals. These rates are not uncommon8; however,because of immigration and hiring policies foreign students in engineering are unable to make asignificant impact within the state. The College of Engineering’s contribution to engineeringbased Master degrees within our state represents approximately 1.1% of the awarded degrees, ofwhich only 35.7% went to citizens of our state.

It is based onthe IEEE/ACM SWE curriculum guidelines for graduate programs in software engineering [5]and is similar to many other schools. The program covers the full development life cycle, isquantitative and empirical, and emphasizes the engineering and development of trusted systems.In this context, the “engineering” in software engineering means using good engineeringjudgment to
