. ConclusionsSuccess of the engineering research consortium program established through its long-standinghistory of 25 years indicates the possibility of not merely a peaceful cohabitation of arguablyextreme points of view represented by the behaviorist and constructivist models within theenvironment, but a thriving collaboration where the features of the best of both models arebrought out to be effective in realizing rich scholarship. Remarkably, the faculty members of Page 11.640.10WEMPEC have internalized this feature as a natural consequence of their personal educationalbeliefs, without particular pre-mediation through theoretical studies on

New researchers are often experts or graduate students in engineering orengineering education, who have primarily been trained in and are operating from the empirical-analytical paradigm, without formal education on different research paradigms. Hence, newresearchers may benefit from a description of the different paradigm classification criteria andthe process of using the paradigm classification criteria to determine the quality of

In their paper investigating barriers to faculty pedagogical changeBrownell and Tanner (2012) hypothesize that in addition to lack of training, time, and incentive,faculty have a hard time identifying as educators because so much of their career preparationfocuses on the quality of research. Brownell and Tanner propose that integrating more teachinginto the professor discipline during graduate and postdoctoral education will shift the professor’sprofessional identity to one that includes teaching. In this study, we found that professors usedthe real-world problem-solving project to

In other words, this finding shows strongly that each group tend to distinguish thedisciplinary differences rather than the similarities between engineering and the physicalsciences. We recognize that the limited size of our sample data collected at a single university isa constraint on the strength of our arguments. Thus, we recommend that more qualitative as wellas quantitative research be conducted to progress this area of study. This suggests directions forfurther work to refine our understanding of student perceptions to provide foundations forimproved materials and processes to support the decision making of high-school graduates aboutwhat they will study in university.

When Dr. Xiao was a fellow university colleague ofDr. Willard, Dr. Willard would continually ridicule Dr. Xiao's English, joking with othersabout how difficult it was to understand him. As a result many graduate students wouldavoid taking Dr. Xiao's classes or having him on their committees. Partly because of this,Dr. Xiao eventually left to take a job at another university. Several years later, Dr. Xiaofinds himself on a NSF review panel that is reviewing one of Dr. Willard's grantproposals. Of all of the members of the review panel, Dr. Xiao is the most knowledgeablein the area of research that Dr. Willard is proposing to study and, consequently, the othermembers of the panel look to him as
