Christensen described growing need forboth “top quality engineering scientists” and “engineering statesmen,” arguing that the lattershould be “trained to have the breadth of social knowledge and technical excellence to transferAmerican know-how in civil engineering to underdeveloped countries.”8 Christensen clearlytook the position that some of this know-how should be developed at the undergraduate level,adding that “[t]he 20 per cent of humanistic activities so widely accepted is only a start towardwhat is needed.” S. S. Steinberg, Dean of Engineering at the University of Maryland, took asimilar position.

price model was developed when I worked for Unocal Corporation in the1980’s. It is based on theories developed in finance and engineering economy that are similar tothe “discounted cashflow” method of stock evaluation (Rahgozar, 2008, Becchetti et all, 2004,Rawley et al 2006). When at Unocal, my colleagues and I in the strategic planning departmentbuilt a model to forecast the stock price of Unocal during the take over fight with T. BoonePickens (McCoy, 1985). We used the model to predict the change in the stock price asinformation was relayed to the investment community. It was very accurate and was extremelyhelpful in the take over defense.The point of this project, as it was in the case of Unocal’s stock price model, is not to develop amodel
(STEM) has become a majorconcern in the United States in recent years21,22. It is widely accepted that the United States’leadership position in the world relies largely on its scientific and technical expertise. In thistechnological era, as the demand for the workforce in the STEM fields continues to grow, moreinvestments must be made in STEM education to prepare enough scientists and engineers whowill create the innovations vital for the success of the U.S. economy. However, the currentoutput from the U. S. educational system is struggling to meet this exponentially increasingdemand for scientists and engineers25. The impending wave of retiring baby boomer STEMprofessionals will worsen the situation in the next few years44. The shortage in

Based on this research question, we defined our Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework, which further guided the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our study. We defined the precise terms structured within this framework. Table 2 outlines the PCC framework that we used to define our concept lines
