They foundthat students who entered colleges did not plan adequately and had no decision-making skills. In Page 4.6.1another report, Mariani (1996) found that the career choices of college students were stronglyinfluenced by their parents. The students in Mariani’s report also mentioned that they already hadthought about their career, either before entering the college or during their college lives.

The normal plan assumes the student enters in the Fall term with adequate reading skillsand is prepared for College Algebra and English Composition. The plan lists all courseprerequisites and the term(s) offered. Since this course was designed specifically for theunderprepared student the normal plan is inappropriate.

an innovation project this means picking the right product. This is done incooperation with marketing, especially with market research. At least sixteen ways ofidentifying what customers will buy have been identified. Engineers aid in this by performingtechnical forecasting -- what new products will be made possible by technology advances? Theyalso have a role by performing s-curve analysis. This is applying the life cycle curve to forecastreplacement of a product by another, e.g., fountain pens by ball point pens. Various marketresearch techniques are applied to gauge the likelihood of market acceptance, and cost estimatesof product engineering are made. Key questions at this point are: "What if the engineeringproject is successful?" and

It is also important that the faculty responds to eachindividual student privately, preferable via email, regarding the posting(s)/discussion. It is herethat the faculty may continue to question the student with more complicated questions that wouldpromote cognitive and moral growth. It is important to note, that in order to be successful, thefaculty must reward the student, even minimally, for participating in the online discussions withthe assignment of points that will be used in the determination of the final course grade.

Chinese engineeringschools need to offer more broad based programs to produce more versatile engineers because ofthe jobs available are more varied. Faculty members trained in Russia in late 40’s and throughout 50’s are now retired and replaced by faculty trained in the western world, especially theUnited States.
