Therefore it issuggested that engineering schools focus more on outcome-based approaches bypromoting flexibility and creativity in student projects.2 In some ways, theserecommendations denote a growing emphasis on design and open-ended problem solvingas opposed to the traditional close-ended problems.To respond to these recommendations, it is crucial to prepare engineering GTAs toperform effectively in new and challenging learning environments. Since training isconsidered an important part of the GTA experience, it would be very beneficial tounderstand the training needs that can contribute to GTAs’ professional growth.Generally, there

When faced with a choice between the “perfect”research project and the “perfect” faculty advisor, it is wise to remember that the mentoringrelationship is critical to success in graduate school – while projects come and go, the support ofa good mentor can have a much longer impact on your academic and professional success.References[1] “How to Make the Final Grad School Enrollment Decision | Applying to

This effort led to the funding of projects at six universities and many goodresults came from these efforts. However, the effort was eventually terminated due to verylimited propagation and dissemination of the classes or technology that were developed at theindividual universities to the community at large. To try to address this problem, BioSUCCEEDhas committed to a free dissemination of the educational content developed.The approach utilized can be compared to the development of open-source software.
