In order to make the change thus far, we havehad to contemplate what things we did previously that had prepared us for the reformation, and howbiological engineering would be a natural extension of historical trends within agriculturalengineering. Some people have embraced the change easily; others still don't see the relevance ofbiological engineering to their careers. The result is a lot of repetition of the

Both years we received assistance fromthe Engineering Dean's Office to assign incoming students at random to the paired sections.In the 1996 collaboration there were two groups of 28 students (totaling 12% of the enteringclass), each group taking a section of TCC 101 with me, paired with a section of ENGR 164taught by John O’Connell. The section classes were of the same length on mostly the same daysof the week, while the individual syllabi for the sections of each

of 2004, I truly had no idea what challenges and opportunities I wouldencounter over the next six years. My tenure as a grad student has been a whirlwind of classes,research, teaching, reading, writing, presenting, adversity, and fun. The lessons I learned alongthe way have helped to shape me both as a scientist and an educator; however I wish that I knewexactly what lay ahead during my graduate odyssey.The goal of this paper is to provide that road map, both incoming and current graduate students,through a series of stories and lessons I learned during my graduate career. My goal is toprovide fellow grad students with advice necessary to navigate the potentially tortuous path theywill encounter such as taking classes, getting into the lab

. “Attitudes are the ways one thinks and feels in response to a fact or situation.Attitudes reflect an individual’s values and world view and the way he or she perceives,interprets, and approaches surroundings and situations.”6 It is further explained that during theundergraduate experience future engineers need to begin developing supportive attitudes, andthat these attitudes will need to be modeled by those charged with their education, the staff andfaculty. The aim being that students can model these supportive attitudes themselves upongraduation, or at least be aware of them.6 The author feels that responsible social behavior fitsinto one of these professional attitudes.

The prestige and reputation of Rose-Hulman attracted me to Terre Haute, Indiana as well as the opportunities it offered. All things considered, it seemed like the right decision to forgo my hometown college and venture away from home to pursue an excellent edu- cation.

The value is 812 with 399 degrees of freedom andp-value < 0.001. These scores are acceptable (p-value <= 0.05). However, the Chi Square valuemay not accurately reflect the fit to the model when the sample size is large, the data is notnormal, or there are a large number of items. These issues result in the inflation of the ChiSquare value and the over-rejection of the null hypothesis. The WLSMV estimator
