to address some of these issues will be described.2.0 Traditional Ph.D. Engineering ProgramsThe traditional Ph.D. programs are narrowly focused and discipline-defined dissertationresearch. A typical discipline normally requires a graduate student to take certain number ofcourses beyond those already taken to fulfill the Master of Science (MS) degree within the samediscipline. The idea here is to ensure that when the student completes the Ph.D. program he orshe will be prepared to teach graduate level courses in that discipline at a university. This ideaassumes that upon completion of his or her Ph.D. dissertation, those courses will be sufficient toprepare the students to teach courses in new emerging areas that do not have any

In Crismond and Adams’ (2012) Informed Design Teaching and Learning matrix, theability to conduct valid experiments was identified as a key design ability.33 From theperspective of engineering students, experimenting has been depicted as supplemental to andreinforcing of the general theory learned from lecture or a textbook.34 Therefore, the connectionbetween experimenting and innovation within engineering seems direct and pervasive.The
