both the motivation to master asubject and the developing passion for creative activity.Technical educators bemoan the fact that some, if not many, of our students do not developthis passion for learning or habit for independent, innovative thought that is at the heart of allprofessional education.5 Despite the significant promotion of team activities in engineeringcolleges, some still view the engineering profession in particular as solitary work in cubiclesthat consists of reading articles and accessing computer programs for an occasional meeting.This view matches and is reinforced by much of their academic experience in the classroom.The link between theory and practice may be spoken but seldom experienced for these

Figure 2. The students inthe new curriculum did significantly better than those taking the traditional dynamics course.From this assessment it is clear that the new curriculum does not hurt the students and in fact itappears to help them in mastering the mechanics material.For this assessment, the majority of students in the SEC were majors in electrical engineering(EE) and computer engineering (CO) and the students in the traditional dynamics course weremechanical engineering majors. Therefore, the question remained as to whether the students inthe new curriculum performed better because the EE/CO students were academically superior tothe ME students or because of the new curriculum. Since this curriculum was required for allmechanical

Purpose of Scientific and Technological InnovationPerhaps the largest question looming in Prendick’s, and the reader’s, mind is why use vivisectionon animals to create human-ish creatures at all? In the context of the novel, is Moreau a madscientist or does vivisection represent a point of public versus scientific difference? Moreau isclearly set up in the novel as a previously very well respected scientist: I had been a mere lad then, and Moreau was, I suppose, about fifty--a prominent and masterful physiologist, well-known in scientific circles for his extraordinary imagination and his brutal directness in discussion. Was this the same Moreau? He had published some very astonishing facts in connection with the

that she is a distinct minority (16). Dr. Breazeal stated thatthe reason girls avoid the sciences is that they do not get enough support growing up. She added that girlsaren’t necessarily discouraged but they are not encouraged either. The AAUW study concurs with thisstatement for they found that the girls they surveyed said they were not told directly they were notcompetent in technology and were not deterred from taking computer classes, however, felt there weresubtle messages that deterred them. For example, there are few positive role models. And most computercamps are designed with boys in mind. Boys are encouraged to tinker with computers and most of themown computers.

Finally,there is a strong culture of student organizations and competitions which encourageundergraduates to apply classroom learning to various real-world problems or design constraints.Thus there are many opportunities, both within the context of the traditional classroom as well asoutside, for students to master the skills demanded of the modern day engineer and as required byABET.

, students need to improvea collection of processes through which they either design or write, instead ofconcentrating on producing a high quality final product.Perhaps the best analogy we have for the cognitive processes involved is from music.Pianists, learning to play a new work, do not play the entire piece from beginning to endrepeatedly with the intention to raise the quality each time. Instead, they select smallsections of the piece that require very different techniques and practice those sectionsrepeatedly to master the technique required for each section. Further, they may not playthe section repeatedly without variation. Instead, they may purposely practice variationsof the section that are different from the music that is written but

It is also important to continue to emphasize that spending a significant amount oftime in a software life cycle on RE results in a higher quality end product.7.
