PCM’s framework helps the course designer see the relationship of standard traditional methods of assessment (e.g., plug and chug problems, laboratory experiments, projects and presentations) in creating an engineering professional’s knowledge set. It provides a framework to balance the knowledge and skills since neither a “book smart” student nor the student who randomly tinkers makes the best engineer. ● Freedom to be flexible in selecting course components to meet objectives: The ideal method of teaching content depends on a number of changing factors such as student ability and background, instructor expertise, and resources available. Ideally, a course designer can select freely from the wide range of

It is our hope that this will inspire students not only to enter a graduateprogram, but also to seek a program with an international component.An additional, and equally important, goal of CURE is to build relationships between personnelin the three collaborating institutions by linking the collaborators and their work with each otherthrough these students. We conceptualized the participating student as a resource that would beshared by the collaborating laboratories and, thus, would be prepared by the Georgia TechTech/Emory PIs and mentors to
