In other words, the system of REEFE andthe system of the graduate curriculum were in conflict. We do not see a way to reduce thisconflict.GoalsOur review of the project revealed that both graduate students and graduate faculty expressedconcerns that participation in REEFE would pose a threat to a student’s achievement of theirgoals. In the REEFE context, student goals often referred to the student’s progress towardcompletion of their degree and whether participation in the experience would slow down or delaydegree completion with the possibility that REEFE would be a “distraction” from dissertationwork (Gaff

However, the curriculum does notspecifically focus on information literacy or question formulation. Yet, as in our experience withFED101, other engineering educators have found that students are still lacking the logical andcritical thinking skills that are required to develop a compelling inquiry of a topic, and havedifficulty performing effective information searches [14, 16].

The task at hand is to develop a workforce that must have a new skill set which has not previously been the focus of any existing organized technical curriculum. This paper will address one approach to presenting the important process steps in microdevice fabrication to a non-materials major audience. Particular attention will be spent on the problems and challenges associated with introducing what the technical demands and expectations of the industry will be, presenting the material
