The theory is grounded in the constructivist paradigm which focuses on howhumans construct the meaning of their experiences. Unlike the paradigm of diffusion ofinnovations, which seeks predictability and reduction of uncertainty, in transformative learningtheory emergence and uncertainty are embraced as characteristic of the transformation process.The theory also focuses on communicative learning as distinguished from

] inspired by my mentor so I want to be a research professor and doresearch in academic. In academia, I think the main goal is how to develop a new method toimprove our life and make the environment better, and it is quite different than the industry. Sothe graduate school is necessary for my dream, and I will look for a post-doc position aftergraduate school. I think this program [will] really help me to develop my academic resume andacademic/personal statement, and provide abundant information about what we should knowbefore applying for graduate school, like NSF graduate fellowship, [responsible conduct ofresearch], research ethic, etc. I had never known some of the information after the seminars, andthey are very useful!”This post prompted a

The end result was that there wheremany times during the project where the engineering students had to work outside their comfortzone. They spent a considerable amount of time working in

Johnson (2006)9 adopted Anderson’s (1996)10conceptual framework concerning three dimensions of barriers (technical, political, and cultural)and discussed each barrier that science teachers faced when applying reformed instructionalpractices in their classrooms. Here, the technical barriers include teachers’ content knowledge,pedagogical knowledge, as well as teachers’ ability to implement new instructional strategies andteach constructively. The political barriers, which are hard for teachers to control, include thelack of local leadership and support. The cultural barriers referred to teachers’ beliefs concerningteaching and their preparation ethic. In other words, it means teachers’ feeling of their obligationin transmitting content

The AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) engineering criteria began to explicitly requireprofessional skills as student outcomes in 2001 18 and has continued to include them in revisionssince 15. ABET came to see these skills as needed by all engineering graduates. The following sixof the eleven outcomes specified in the ABET engineering criteria fit within the literature list ofprofessional skills 7:  an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (3.d)  an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (3.f)  an ability to
