States invested wisely in research-oriented graduate education and has become preeminent in basic university research that advances science and benefits the scientific workforce for discovery. But a parallel investment and balanced emphasis has not been made in professional graduate engineering education during this same time frame to support the continued development of the U.S. engineering workforce in industry for technology development and innovation. One-size in graduate education doesn’t fit all. Excellence in basic research and in the practice of engineering for world-class technology development and innovation are two very different pursuits. A disconnect has existed between U.S. graduate engineering education and

Thefocus was on the individual student's needs and how the student could achieve the best gains inthe topic skills. This was accomplished using the following principles and characteristics oflearner-centered education: active learning, student engagement, adaptability focused onindividual student needs, practice until mastery, prompt feedback, and general avoidance of thetraditional lecture format.
