engineering projects and solving contemporary andfuture engineering problems. The complexity of modern technology and the sophistication ofcurrent knowledge and procedures makes it impossible for any single individual to know and doeverything; assistance from others is essential in virtually every engineering endeavor. Page 7.909.1It is vital that engineering graduates both understand the nature of, and be able to function in,team situations. As a result, engineering education must include a significant number ofexperiences that impact students in ways that build awareness and skills in teaming. There aremany formats in which this can be done. Teams

Someone thought he had transferred, or perhaps not. Hecould not be certain. That colleague never returned either.Since the 1960s, the attrition rate of doctoral students has consistently been estimated at 50%nationwide 1, 2, 3. The attrition rate for women students, especially those in engineering, science,and technology whose problems are exacerbated by their minority status, is estimated to be muchhigher, as they experience what is termed a “leaky pipeline” at every phase of their education 1, 4,5, 6 .

The use of web sites and presentationapplications represent two recent changes that support the online classroom, or near-paperlessinstruction. We use the term near paperless because most engineering instructors use problem-basedassessment and that is difficult to implement online. Thus, tests require paper for students to demonstratetheir work and to receive partial credit. In summary, institutions that capitalize on this paradigm shift willtake advantage of the above opportunities and improve the quality of their educational programs.WebsitesThe educator may choose to use web

Variousmethods have emerged using prepared models, photographs, and pictorials to illustrate what thedrawing is meant to represent. Students typically work from these prepared examples in theproduction of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings with little opportunity tocreate something new. The question arises if students really see what the drawings represent.Larger companies, such as Chrysler, are now sending design engineers out for real world designexperience on the shop floor before actually having them design cars.

As the need for good teachersat the university level continues to grow, we see this paradox intensifying. And we see theproblem manifesting itself in a particularly nasty way in curricula that predominantly focus oncultivating abstract reasoning ability in future scientists and engineers. The data tells us that aseducators, we are not producing students able to successfully employ context-independentreasoning in technical domains.
