According to the deansinterviewed, the most common ways EM could help faculty is through enhancing the impact oftheir research and having them place more value in educational innovation. This is exemplifiedperfectly by the following quote from a dean J at an R1/R2 private institution: I am really speaking about using research funding to develop technologies that have, generally, commercial application, but that could be put to broader use beyond an individual laboratory. One of the descriptors I've used is, "science that doesn't stop at the laboratory door." Meaning, publishing the paper is wonderful, but

To prepare the targeted population to fulfillthese needs, the program will focus on applying theories and hands-on skills in the developmentof marketable products, efficient processes, and designs that reflect an awareness of howtechnology meets the needs of society today and in the future. Further, the AAS.MET programwill provide extensive classroom study along with laboratory explorations.

Furthermore, a group of high school students and teachers is selected toparticipate in a 4-week Summer Research Program, in the Center’s laboratories. Collegeadmissions data show that 75% (N=12) of the research summer program participants and 42% ofstudents admitted from schools with MSE clubs have enrolled at UPRM, with a 94% second-year retention rate.

enrollment trends, including: • Poorer instructional quality. Many faculty have become increasingly more interested in research and thereby less interested in teaching and laboratory instruction. As enrollments have increased, some faculty have turned away from detailed problem solving to easier ways to assess student performance. Finally, many faculty expect less from their students while, at the same time, continuing to inflate grades. • Less prepared engineering graduates. Poorer quality of instruction and lowered faculty expectations, coupled with an observation that fewer students are entering the university with hands-on experience, may result in a larger number of graduates that are not well

From the instructors’ perspective, thereason for the high failure rates is due to first-year students having to learn the language ofengineering in a very short time; simultaneously, they need to develop good critical thinking andproblem-solving skills.
