growth at individual institutions and the profession as a whole. The nature of the studywas qualitative. The data obtained cannot be used to accurately portray the practices used in thefield because the sampling technique could not ensure that institutions were represented equally.The researchers were primarily interested in information that allows them to make informed deci-sions about course offerings and new undergraduate and graduate degrees.The survey contained four major categories related to engineering graphics education. The firstcategory looked at courses institutions offer, the software institutions use, changes in content areasin the field, and whether engineering graphics educators are incorporating these revisions into theircourse

archival research, often a methodology of liberal education, has an equally importantrole to play in the education of engaged, analytical, and ethical engineers.The InterventionsThe two-credit Introduction to Science and Technology Studies course was an elective within thegeneral education requirement (courses at the school are generally three or four credits, so thiscourse consumed less time than the typical course). This course, which required no prerequisites,was evenly split between twelve first-year students and twelve advanced students. The students’majors were mixed; they represented eight different departments, as well as undeclared.The first archival intervention occurred during the fourth meeting of the course, during theInvention and

is also significantly different from that existing in the early yearsof construction education. In the past, universities were willing to accept highly experiencedpractitioners who could teach in the new discipline since there was no traditional academic sectorfrom which to draw fully qualified professors. Over, the years, academic requirements have beenstrengthened in the construction discipline to bring it into line with the rest of the university sofaculty must have a terminal degree and be engaged in research, as well as teach. There areenough academic programs providing terminal degrees related to construction to more-or-lessmeet this demand. However, these people generally come from Civil Engineering orConstruction Management programs

perform challenging jobs productively. Another area of concern is the academic achievement of K-12 minority students. Despite thenarrowing of achievement levels between white and minority students during the 1980s,particularly in math, recent data raise the possibility that the gap is no longer closing2. Socialscientists attribute these differences to high levels of poverty in families of minority children andless education of their parents. It is difficult for schools to compensate for such disadvantages.However, there is evidence that extraordinary schools and teachers make a difference in how allstudents perform. Research on early intervention and one-on-one tutoring demonstrates that at-risk students can achieve at far higher levels than
