for two-thirds of a public institution’s funding to come from the state.Today things are dramatically different. A recent survey found that state funding can varyfrom eight percent to up to 57 percent of a state four-year institution of highereducation’s budget. On the low end were national research institutions and on the highend were predominantly teaching intuitions. [1] The rational from the respective statelegislatures appeared to be that research institutions could get by for less due to the grantmoney they took in. Their student tuition also tends to be higher. However, funding fromthe state and student tuition is not enough. Almost all public institutions now mustengage in fundraising to be able to balance their budgets. The question
engineeringfields, such as oil and gas, will be exposed to and likely be required to draw on an understandingof biological processes. In recognition of this, institutions considered to be leaders inundergraduate engineering education, such as MIT, have now made biology a required course forall undergraduate students.1 The Texas A&M chemical engineering department has recentlyfollowed suit. However, when biological concepts are conveyed to chemical engineeringstudents in a traditional manner, the students often end up lacking the ability to translate theseideas to engineering applications. This discrepancy arises in part from the different way in whichengineering students think and approach problems relative to their natural science counterparts

Based on anecdotal evidence gathered throughout thesemester, this paper will promote journaling as a key success factor for students in engineeringclasses.IntroductionMany engineers keep daily or weekly journals as informal project records that ultimately result inmore formal status reports. Sometimes the engineer’s journal is just a personal record to helpexplain problems or to record agreements and lessons learned from the project. While journalingis widely used in the daily work environment, most journal writing in college is reserved forEnglish and humanities classes. When engineering students write, it is generally in the form of alab report. The authors’ research yielded few results
