As time passed, theoretical instruction became more prominent and some ofthese colleges and schools pushed the technology portion of the curriculum to the peripheral,others simply eliminated technology altogether.The College of Engineering’s Division of Engineering Professional Education (ProEd) and theCollege of Technology’s Center for Professional Studies in Technology and Applied Research(ProSTAR) share a common purpose, mission and vision. Underlying these is the fundamentalpremise that both serve the graduate educational needs of professional working adult learners inthe STEM disciplines; this through credit and

Although they are grouped according to the ques-tion numbers, not all of the points necessarily answer a particular question. Rather, the breakoutgroups often posed additional questions and pointed out related issues.Question 1 - What is Design? • Design is both a process and a product. • The students should know what are the criteria for evaluating their designs.
