Introducing research-oriented projects to students in information technologymay encourage students to continue their education and consider graduate school aftergraduation.

operationalefficiency of undergraduate instruction. Transfer students in engineering have unique issuesrelated to time-to-graduation since they are often missing one or two key prerequisite courses.To increase contact between students and engineering faculty, several key technical courses havemoved to the sophomore year. Often, these courses serve as the key initial links for a sequenceof required advanced courses, but are rarely offered at the community college level. As a result,many transfer students cannot follow the normal progression of junior level courses which putsthem at high risk for taking more than 2 additional years to graduate, further increasing the debtload upon graduation. This paper describes the results of an experiment designed to help

Hence, it is important that they are not overlooked.The challenge in the context of economic growth is the identification of those companies thathave the capability, the capacity and the motivation to grow. This issue has been the subjectof a number of reports (e.g. by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and theArts, NESTA and the Confederation of British Industry, CBI) [14, 15] and various fundingavenues are available to help secure the continued growth of these companies.

If you have to leave five minutes early or move something around, they will do that. These math courses, and science, will not. That is where the issue comes in with those classes not being coherent with the engineering courses.”Descriptions of these students’ scheduling conflicts included setting aside practicum hours;attending meetings with projects groups; scheduling engineering, education, and content (eithermath or science) classes; and making time for other extracurricular activities and obligations.They also expressed a concern with the lateness of the education courses and how that
