Additionally, research indicates that relationships are unique to each individual andmay develop into high-quality relationships based on trust and respect or degenerate into low-quality relationships merely fulfilling the rudimentary requirements of the institution.28 Anotherkey characteristic of social exchange is that high- or low-quality relationships form quickly andtend to endure.30 Thus, the initial interactions (experiences) are extremely important, becausethey affect attitudes, satisfaction, and performance.

WithPBL, students are empowered to self-direct their educational experience by designingexperimental systems and/or subsystems against given specifications. It is an instructionalmethod, which uses real-world problems to facilitate students’ critical thinking and problemsolving skills while accomplishing the course objectives. Students get involved and takeresponsibility for their learning experience; and instructor becomes a resource. Instructor rolechanges to that of a consultant, mediator, counselor, and resident technical expert. The purposeof implementing PBL is to motivate the student to integrate and utilize knowledge rather than tore-involve the

Since the mid-1960’s, however, the engineering program saw an increase ofdiversification into mechanical, electrical, computer and chemical engineering. By the early1990’s, the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) program, once the mainstay ofthe Engineering Department, was attracting less and less students. This trend was in line withthe termination of the GI program after World War II and the steady decline of the steel industry
