Thestudents believed there was no reason to pursue a Ph.D. unless one wanted to become a professor.The authors strongly believe in undergraduate research opportunities and have severalundergraduates working in their labs. While these research interactions have proven valuable forboth the faculty and the students, the authors felt like it would be good to expose undergraduateswith interest in research to additional mentors beyond university faculty.

testing will be conducted to assess a) change in retention between courses and b)change in student problem-solving and design skills.BackgroundMany sources have made the case for reforming engineering education to reflect modern trends.Most notably, a recent National Academy of Engineering (NAE) report found that2 Engineering education must avoid the cliché of teaching more and more about less and less, until it teaches everything about nothing. Addressing this problem may involve reconsideration of the basic structure of engineering departments and the infrastructure for evaluating the performance of professors as much as it does selecting the coursework students should be taught.The report also stressed the importance of teaching
