The coursewould have benefited from an intern with perhaps less technical expertise in the subject matter,but more experience and training in team efforts and educational theory, and better able tocontribute to course improvements from the very beginning. An intern from the Penn StateCollege of Education, given the emphases planned for the intern’s efforts, would perhaps havebeen more appropriate than the engineering technology student who served as intern.
