Findings about alumni fromPEARS and the Engineering Pathways Study which build upon and potentially extend theresearch based on APPLES and the Academic Pathways Study on undergraduate experiencesmay be able to make this kind of contribution to the broader engineering education field.

This problem could be one of the studentsown devising or from a textbook, class web page, or any other source. The student then wouldschedule an appointment with the instructor to do an oral presentation of the problem. Thestudent would explain step by step the procedure(s) used in the solution of the problem. Thisprovides the instructor an opportunity to examine the students’ critical thinking skills.

This storywas adopted, adapted, and expanded from a concept by Teich19 (2008) and titled by the author ofthis paper as “The Better Technology.” The Better Technology In the early 1900’s, gas-powered cars shared the roads with those powered steam engines, such as the well known Stanley Steamer’s. Another small player was the electric cars. Eventually, internal combustion engines captured the market and the old steamers disappeared. But why? The usual assumption is that the two contenders went head to head and the best technology won. But there is a lot
