first fully public university.13 In the 1850's, the agricultural press and variouslocal and national agricultural societies joined forces to demand the establishment of what werecalled "democracy's colleges."14 Evan Pugh of Pennsylvania15 and Jonathan Turner of Illinois16played major roles in galvanizing public sentiments in favor of such project. In 1862, PresidentAbraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act, which was introduced by Justin Morrill as a bill inCongress in 1857, providing for federal aid to agricultural and mechanical colleges. 17 The passageof the second Morrill Act of 1890 significantly increased the amount of federal aid to theseland-grant institutions.18 The Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890 helped provide the resources for

for all the criteria in the rows of the matrix. It is important to compare the new concepts only to the datum not to each other. A simple GO/NO-GO evaluation is made using the following criteria: + (Plus) = this concept is clearly better than the datum S (Same) = this concept is about the same as the datum - (Minus) = this concept is not as good as the datum6. Only when all the concepts have been evaluated relative to the datum, should the concept ratings be tallied. The + is a + 1, the - is a - 1, and the S is a. The algebraic sum of the ratings for each concept should be entered in the row marked “Concept Rating”.7. If a single concept does not appear to clear # 1

The regularly used technical skills are committed to memory and external information resources are not needed in these cases. More complex problems and problems with multiple possible solution paths for which they have to evaluate the quality of the different solution paths will create difficulties for the individual.

There is also a need todevelop books with a case-study approach with adequate design examples.1.0 IntroductionThe Oxford Dictionary defines “Engineering” as the practical application of scientific ideas andprinciples. Further an “Engineer” is defined to design and build. Over the years many disciplinesof engineering have come into existence and newer ones continue to evolve in order to addresssocietal needs.

They indicate that it is better to move too quicklythan not quickly enough, and that when threats are implicit or explicit, it is time to act. Whenfaculty start sharing specific incidents with other people, it is often the signal to start theprogressive discipline/documentation trail. Faculty consult or refer the situation to their chair ordean’s office, and may also elicit assistance from colleagues who have experienced similarthings.
