considerablysimilar to the Web environment of today3. The concept of hypertext, presented by Ted Nelson in1965, brought forth the possibilities of using the computer to form documents of arbitrarystructure4. With the advent of the personal computer and the development of hypertext systemsin the mid-1980s, it was a simple jump for educators to promote the use of electronic portfolios.This eliminated the “at most one” problem as it is easy to provide multiple copies of anelectronic document. Hypertext also allows a better structural representation of the thoughtprocess involved in the learning process, as it can better show how a portfolio entry was theproduct of the synthesis of a variety of ideas.With the rise of the World Wide Web there has been increased

Analyses of performance and predictor data, as well as surveys of theliterature and of non-retained students, produced several recommended actions based ondocumented best practices. The resulting 5-year retention project, funded by NSF-STEP, beganin August of 2010 and focuses on first-year retention initiatives, namely: a faculty mentoring program for first-year

willunderstand many of the details of designing the plant without losing focus of the ultimate goal ofthe process. Most importantly, however, at some point in the project they will have to makesome of their own decisions. There will be more than one way to attack the problem, and thestudents will have to make appropriate assumptions, research several alternatives, use commonsense and think both logically and physically in order to arrive at a practical solution. If thisproject accomplishes its goal, the chemical engineering curriculum at Penn State University willtake a step away from being a mere extension of theoretical science and a step toward being anactual preparation for a career in thoughtful problem-solving and design.1 IntroductionLike many

The beginning of the twenty-first century is a period of rapidtransition in which the pace of this transformation continues to accelerate. New organizations,technologies, and products are materializing at an escalating rate. Those organizations unable tokeep up and successfully compete will quickly fade away. The shifting dynamics of trade andbusiness continually reflects the increasingly competitive nature of the global marketplace.Organizations along with their managers must adopt and adapt new methods in order to survivewith these sweeping transitions.
