Griffiths’ article was based on the COSEPUP report of the National Academies, and emphasized that to meet theexpectations of most employers, graduates have to be trained in broad anms especially communications, team work, andfinance. llese concepts are now emphasized in master of science programs in engineering management in manyuniversities. A stronger emphasis on design, the practice of engineering, and man~ement is encouraged for mostgraduate programs. These goals are being pursued presently at the masters levels in many graduate programs, but notbroadly or significantly at the Ph.D. level. The exception is at the very few universities offering a Ph.D in engineering management. Perhaps as a start

In addition, such programs offer students an option for a scientifically rigorouseducation in the field, in contrast to the more typical criminal justice or policy-orientedapproaches used in most educational programs focused on homeland security.

Each technique tends to be best suited to obtain a specific type ofinformation. Two types of information that are often sought are about “decision making” and“knowledge”. To highlight the difference between the two, consider some of the initial researchon decision making done with chess masters (Chase and Simon, 1973a & 1973b

Benchmark acknowledged that the increasing pressure to embrace the needfor a general business and commercial foundation, yet at the same time include the coreengineering subject curriculum, meant that the typical three year Bachelors degree providedinsufficient study time. Consequently, both this national benchmark, and the latest version ofSARTOR recognised the preferred educational base for registration as a professionalengineer to be the completion of a four year Master of Engineering degree course. In suchcourses, an integrated programme embraced both a standard Bachelors curriculum, togetherwith a further year of post-graduate study.

However, the access records for the master folders containing the solutions (onemaster folder for each treatment group) are available. Taking the master folder access records asa proxy for the number of solutions viewed yields a surprisingly low average of 1.4 access timesper quarter (sd = 2). The number of times accessing the homework solutions is not correlated topost-class SCI score or to survey responses, for either treatment. This result may be because ofthe relatively low access numbers. In addition, there were no significant differences in the accessrecords
