Faculty engaged in contract research may be required to assign all orpart of their patent rights to their corporate or government sponsors, which further obscures theactual number of patents arising from academic research.As interest in patenting has increased among academic researchers, some U.S. universities havebegun to reconsider the role of patents in career decisions such as tenure and promotion.

While innovative methods for providing students with those skills is the central focus ofthis research.

The only task-specific self-concept that did not have a significant difference in either the within-subjects andbetween-groups comparisons was motivation; this was seen in both the overall data(Fmotivation(3,219) = 1.7, p = 0.2) and the within-subjects data (t(11) = 0.6, p = 0.5). Thisdemonstrates that freshmen, sophomore, juniors, and seniors experience similar motivationlevels when it comes to engineering design. This may be due to the fact that engineers begintheir undergraduate career with a high level of motivation, and there is not much room forimprovement in that area.

For CRP, students measure, collect, analyze and interpret data from their tests. Students become inherently familiar with the important role of measurement and data analysis in their tasks. Furthermore, the students have the opportunity to recognize sources of errors in their experiments, which serves as an excellent foundation for their engineering career.2. Teamwork.

More hands-on experience is desirable, since studentsmust be prepared to deal with not only existing security threats but also new and increasinglycomplex exploits which emerge more frequently each year.

A well-designed engineering curriculum should go a long way to preparing the future project managersinvolved in various engineering careers.

Infact, physics departments of more than 20 well known universities offer PhD degree programs inphysics education research5.
