University, an HBCU, where participating studentsexperienced higher scores and more positive experiences. In another engineering study at Memphis State University, Drouin (1992) suggested thatundergraduate engineering programs have been criticized for not producing engineers who canthink critically23. Rote memorization, perhaps useful in some educational environments, can beharmful in many work environments, particularly technical fields where skills such asunderstanding, comprehension, and application are critical to the success of the organization(Drouin, 1992). Unfortunately, the lecture-homework routine in an engineering curriculumleaves little to no time for reflection, critical and creative thinking, and association. While the

Characteristics of the Legal System in Operation in the United StatesThe two major characteristics which give the United States legal system its character are: 1) it isa common law system and 2) it consists of fifty-one separate, independent court systems insimultaneous operation.A. Common Law SystemThe basic characteristic of a common law system is that decisions by appellate and supremecourt judges (not trial judges) become law for subsequent cases
