Research funding sourcesare scattered under a variety of subjects, such as health and biomedical sciences, arts,humanities, social sciences and education. Such funding sources also include science andengineering. Many of the existing research funding sources are not listed separately accordingto discipline. Because of this lack of identity of sources covering particular subjects, theresearcher must spend much time and effort searching out the sources that include the subjectrelating to his/her line of expertise.

Whilemerchant guilds were primarily created to protect trade and commerce, the craft guilds werecreated to protect the skills and knowledge that would insure the continuance of the craft.

This paper will discuss the overarching issues andtrends currently in technical/engineering education and one significant area within the surveythat dealt directly with new instructional strategies for graphics education (i.e. distanceeducation). One section of the survey explored distance education in technical/engineeringgraphics education; as prior research suggested that changes had occurred in the instructionaltopics and practices of the field. Previous research also shows that instructors wondered if thesame topics were being taught and the same technology was being used by graphicsprofessionals as a part of their

It was a win-win situation!Research and scholarship activities gained greater focus in the mid-nineties with the addition ofcivilian faculty, and soon all faculty were spending more time on research, a trend that isoccurring at many undergraduate teaching colleges. The inclusion of undergraduates in facultyresearch was a natural extension of faculty research and a welcome addition to the list ofavailable student projects. At the same time, many faculty were involved heavily within theircommunity and knew of potential service-based projects that would challenge and educate thestudents. It became obvious that many students would love the opportunity to put their
