This involves looking to themajority group of engineers to develop the proficiencies required as the expertpractitioners retire or make career moves.The technical leadership of the department, perhaps working with a training director,must identify the combination of subject matter and proficiencies required of the expertpractitioner. A learning matrix can then be defined for the particular area of expertise.This matrix sets the expectations… In what topics or subjects must the engineer developproficiency?

But the management andoperations remained student-led and student-run. The Bonfire was primarily considered a spirit-building activity that incidentally involved construction activities.

IntroductionAs stated in the widely cited National Academies study, the U.S. is experiencing a serious decline inthe number of engineering students seeking careers in STEM fields and this shortage of newengineering talent has already begun to jeopardize U.S. government and commercial interests.1Similarly, the nuclear field has challenges in terms of attracting and developing talent, andparticularly, nuclear power industry faces difficulties for maintaining a positive outlook in thepublic’s eye and replacing the current aging workforce, despite its unique advantages and strategicimportance in the nation’s energy mix.The University of North Texas (UNT) aspires to serve the greater North Texas and the nation bycontinuing to train a qualified workforce for

However, few students have such expertise atthe start of their graduate program, nor do they formally acquire it as part of theircoursework. Direct writing instruction in engineering graduate programs is scarce, andto the extent that curricular or co-curricular technical communication instruction isoffered, it is often deemed remedial or separate from disciplinary content knowledge. Asa consequence, writing is largely devalued, despite its outsized role in graduatestudents’ academic lives and careers in industry and academia.To address this gap, the Council of Graduate Schools recommends the establishment ofgraduate writing centers (GWCs) that are staffed by

Additional "tools" the high school seniorshave acquired from the university students, and which may prove useful in their post secondaryeducation are; Cliff Notes can be used for reports when you are out of time; "all nighters" are auseful way to make up for procrastination.The interaction between high school and university students has also influenced the views andpossible career paths of some
