study conducted at Purdue University reported that 92%of the alumni and faculty surveyed indicated that graduate education in technology is importantfor the professional development of individuals working in industry and that there exists aperceived demand for graduate education in technology and engineering technology (Brauer,August 1993). Although this study surveyed only faculty and alumni of Purdue University, andgeneralizing these findings to broader level would be inappropriate from a true research point ofview, the fact remains that graduate education for technologists is an important issue that mustbe addressed. As more individuals graduated from technology-related programs enter the work force, the needfor graduate education

Sometimes there is bias against the faculty by the less educated party leaders. InChina, a university, like all other work units of the government, takes care of employeeshousing, transportation, food supply, medical care, child care, etc. The people in charge of theseare party leaders who may have very limited education, and achieved their position in years whenpromotion came more likely as a result of $redness# than of $expertness#.

umbrella term like“construction” or “construction management” [42]. While “building science” does describedegree programs, it does not describe a career path.Given the existence of various areas that could be explored, one of the areas could investigatehow faculty-student rapport and mentoring translate into career success for the students duringtheir lifetimes using a longitudinal research method. Also, studies can be conducted to determinethe best practices from successful MSI across the nation. Future research can also investigate theimpact of alumni success and student mentoring on student career success.References[1] Statti, A. and Torres, K.
