,especially in light of Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) (for example, see [1,2]). While some attention has beenfocused on traditional three-two programs or Bachelors/Masters Programs, little has beenfocused on dual degree programs in engineering and non-technical fields. In this paper wepresent a status report on the Benjamin Franklin Scholars (BFS) Dual-Degree Program now in itsfifteenth year of operation at North Carolina State University. Students in the program earn aBachelor of Science degree in engineering or computer science from the College of Engineering,and a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Humanities and SocialSciences.

research-oriented scholarship using the scientific methodfor “discovery” of new scientific knowledge. As a result, Bacon’s philosophy in the 17th century has had afar reaching influence on higher education as it exists in many universities today.As Boyd noted in his landmark work of The History of Western Education: “In the new age on which men were entering Bacon took the place of Aristotle as the master of those who sought to know and to teach. The advancement of knowledge became the catchword of many of those who aspired to a reformation of life and thought, and through them came to be an integral part of the modern ideal of education … A considerable number of literary and scientific men were eager to see the foundation of a

analyzed using atechnique similar to that reported by McCabe et al., referred to as the “content analysisprocedure” [10]. In the first step, each response was examined verbatim by three independentexaminers. The examiners determined what “thought units” were involved in each response.During the second step, each examiner independently attempted to categorize thought units.Each category was given a descriptor that was inclusive of all thought units within that category.As a group, the examiners integrated and refined their lists of categories into one master list. Inthe final step, the examiners grouped the categories into a list of overall themes throughdiscussion, negotiation and consensus. Through this method the variables involved in

During the summer the teachersare placed in groups of 10-15 teachers and assigned a master-teacher GIFT Facilitator who meetswith them weekly and serves as their primary contact with the program. With the help of theirFacilitator, teachers develop an Action Plan, a formal document each teacher creates as ablueprint for transferring the summer GIFT experience into his/her classroom during thefollowing year. The Action Plan includes: • The Needs Assessment that contains a self-assessment of the teacher’s teaching/learning environment in which they describe their personal or team vision for their classroom. • A Summary of the GIFT Fellow’s summer work experience including discipline

One of the most difficult skills forteachers, or anyone, to master is to be consistent, immediate, and frequent in rewarding thedesired responses when they occur.” Mentor provided feedback would similarly need to becarefully structured to be effective.To summarize, SI programs, business literature, cognitive sciences, and behavioral teachingmodels provide options for mentor roles and practices. The SI model suggests that mentors caneffectively foster collaboration by guiding student teams, rather than being experts. Techniquessuch as reflecting questions back to the students are useful.

to address some of these issues will be described.2.0 Traditional Ph.D. Engineering ProgramsThe traditional Ph.D. programs are narrowly focused and discipline-defined dissertationresearch. A typical discipline normally requires a graduate student to take certain number ofcourses beyond those already taken to fulfill the Master of Science (MS) degree within the samediscipline. The idea here is to ensure that when the student completes the Ph.D. program he orshe will be prepared to teach graduate level courses in that discipline at a university. This ideaassumes that upon completion of his or her Ph.D. dissertation, those courses will be sufficient toprepare the students to teach courses in new emerging areas that do not have any

should have mastered. The department has set a target of 95% pass rate for students inchemical engineering.The fact that this is an in-house examination makes it possible to monitor in which areas thestudents perform unsatisfactorily, both individually and as a group. Individuals are advised torefresh their studies in areas of weakness. If all or most chemical engineering students performpoorly in one or more areas of the exam, then either the curriculum or individual courses mayneed to be improved.

The USC Graduate School offers dissertation workshops a fewtimes a year; however, the space is limited, the information is not discipline specific, andfew engineering students attend.The unstated assumption in graduate education seems to be that by the time studentsreach the dissertation stage, they should already know how to manage and complete theproject; unfortunately, most students have never undertaken a project of this magnitudeand are not sure how to transfer their previously-mastered skills to such a task. Thus, thefocus of the workshop became the process behind a long, messy project such as adissertation. Shifting the students' attention from
