available and accept the answer thatsensor gave. After the new experiments, two of which required students to choose sensors andjustify their choice, the students were much more likely to compare multiple sensors, carefullyconsider the manufacturer specifications, and calculate design stage uncertainty in order todetermine if the sensor they wanted to use would do the job. There was also much moreevidence of systematically designing experiments and test fixtures, rather than doing ‘quick anddirty’ verification.It is particularly exciting to see students already including experimental design topics at the endof Capstone I. Students are expected to do verification testing, but in the past have spent most ofthe first capstone term in problem

Compare this with the perceived need for the new/young educator to quicklybuild a voluminous curriculum vitae, not, only for promotion, tenure, and merit raise purposes,but also to build creditability in one’s field for attracting external funding. At this stage, quantityis perceived (and may be) as/more important than quality; i.e., urgency dominates (long term)importance. Tenure decisions usually are made within 5-7 years after hiring and two or threepresentations/publications, even if truly profound in one’s area of expertise, usually won’t beconsidered as favorably by administrators, and promotion and tenure

By remaining on the cutting edge of technology,curriculum taught to international engineering and engineering technology students will inspirenew venues of progress while sharpening skills learned in the classroom. Only when we realize aproblem and act on it will there be solutions, and education is key. Future engineers, andsubsequently the world in which we live, will benefit from educations greatly enriched byinnovative applied research projects with alternative solutions such as desalination.Bibliography(1.) http://www.ncseonline.org/nle/crsreports/water/h2o34.cfm?&CFID=16807254&CFTOKEN
