These pairs of courses work together toteach students the basics of programming and problem solving using C++. The first pair ofcourses (CS 053/054) is typically targeting first-year students in computer science or computerand electrical engineering, while the second pair of courses (CS 074/078) is targeting students inall other engineering disciplines.

There is also little doubt that research typically drives the contentof university courses reflected in the final papers, projects, and daily lectures. It is not difficult toimagine that if our research funds become mostly or exclusively from interested parties in theMME then, the content of our courses might sooner or later, begin to reflect those alignments.The “true stars” in academia will be those who better serve the market demands. Thisimmediately raises serious ethical questions because many professors not wanting to do specialinterest research might be in disadvantage.

338In 2000, 8 students (including 6 who filled out the ILS # 1 questionnaires) were disciplined forplagiarizing their project reports. Since their course grades were affected for reasons not relevantto the study, their data was removed from the study, as shown in Table 1. Two students in 2001and one in 2002 dropped the course before the official deadline, but after filling out the ILS # 1,and their data was also pulled from the study. Each year approximately 30% of the coursegraduates left for an Industrial Internship year, and thus the pool of respondents for the secondround of the ILS was always smaller, as seen in Table 1.
