However the use of textbook and homeworkproblems stress the categories of knowledge, comprehension and application in Bloom’sTaxonomy7 of cognitive skills. But this mode of instruction is less likely to emphasize thehigher-order cognitive skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

Climate changes, issues regarding energy supply, a desire andperceived security need for energy independence, and uncertain but rising energy prices have ledto an increase in interest, funding and policies that support and promote energy efficiency inresidential, commercial and industrial buildings. The federal government and a number of stategovernments have also valued energy efficiency as an economic recovery strategy 4.As a result there has been significant growth in the energy efficiency services sector (EESS) inrecent years.

current state of industrial education in institutions ofhigher learning in America. The influence of earlier apprentice programs, which provided youngpeople with an education that prepared them to become gainfully employed in a trade, seems tobe evident in the values and views of modern day industrial education programs, particularlythose in community colleges. Indeed, it may not be a stretch to suggest that many programs incolleges and universities still see value in “hands-on” or “experiential learning,” a desired featureof the modern curriculum.Current Challenges Facing Technology ProgramsGiven the high cost associated with using and maintaining industrial equipment, 8 many schoolshave begun replacing existing laboratories with newer modular

Basic sciences are defined as biological, chemical, andphysical sciences. Most of the engineering management programs meet this criterion through acombination of math, physics and chemistry courses, some with laboratory experiences.Figure 2 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 displays the most commonly required math and basic science courses and thepercentage of the engineering management programs that require these specific courses.

As additive manufacturing inthe form of 3-D printing is becoming more popular in research and in limited production runs, itstill has many challenges when it comes to manufacturing at a large scale. These challengesinclude cost of making the product as well as speed of production. While these challenges aretechnology-based, studying current 3-D printing processes for improving quality and

It is composedof seven constructs considered to be necessary for effective performance of the team. The TEQhas three parts. The first part is used to collect demographic data and information on individualpreferences regarding teams and previous experience in teams. The second, where scoring is thefocus, is related to the seven constructs. Forty eight questions are asked in relation to theconstructs.

task conflict tended to have negative effects ongroups with routine tasks and positive impacts on teams with non-routine work [5]. Taskconflict’s impact on performance has also been found to be dependent upon how the conflict isaddressed and the levels of trust and cooperation within a group [16], [17]. The team’s purposeand the length of its lifetime can affect conflict and productivity’s relationship as well. In theirmeta-analysis, O’Neill and colleagues found relationship and process conflict to be mostdetrimental for organizational teams and least detrimental for laboratory teams; they also foundthat teams which have a larger lifetime are more negatively impacted by these forms of conflict[8]. The medium over which a group
