for completion of the program. Each college and department withinthe university may have different rules and requirements concerning its graduate students—everything from admission to funding to degree completion. In some cases, standards andrequirements may even vary among students within a program or department. A study by MaryFrank Fox showed that this decentralization can be even more pronounced in engineering andscience departments, where funding is dependent upon research grants awarded to individualfaculty. Because of a university’s dependence on this income, faculty are given a great deal oflatitude in advising their graduate students.6Strategy: Because of the freedom that advisors may have in interpreting thesis- or degree-completion

Video recording and processing took an average of twice the amount of time it would take to present the lecture in a classroom times a typical classroom lecture took 2. Designing the quizzes and homework on the online learning management system. While one of the instructors used WileyPlus, the other instructor used CANVAS. Since Wiley Plus has a test development suite inbuilt, in which the questions need to be selected, the CANVAS involved manually entering the question pool.

In tertiary institutes in theUSA, Australasia, Europe and elsewhere, such a focus would be a given in the curriculum as theissue is a well-established one. In this region, it is relatively new, as the concept of inexhaustibleoil has long dominated.

a Peer Leadership Model in a Large Scale Peer Mentoring ProgramAbstractRetaining students in engineering and the sciences depends largely on the availability ofresources for first-year students, and as a result, mentoring programs have evolved to guide andsupport new engineering students1. In the past, a peer mentoring program at a large researchuniversity on the east coast was led by one administrative faculty member. A major structuralchange to the program was made this year, to incorporate six peer leaders, all veteran mentors,who assumed many of the tasks of the original coordinator. Along with expanding leadership,other changes included shortening the program length from a full semester to ten weeks

This cycle of finding and developingknowledge, bringing it into the problem space, identifying new learning issues and research isrepeated until a solution is reached.

Changes under consideration at the present time include: · refining the curriculum content requirements for Basic Science and Mathematics, · including morale and commitment of faculty, support staff and students as a component of the qualitative evaluation, and · including the requirement for students to be exposed to the concepts of project management.The engineering profession expects of its members competence in engineering as well as anunderstanding of the impact of
