Working as part of a larger research team provides the students with greaterappreciation for the overall benefits of research in general and the importance of graduate schoolin achieving the research objectives. Thus, faculty mentors are committed to identifying projectsthat are part of larger research efforts, requiring undergraduates to work closely with a verticallyintegrated team, while at the same time requiring each student to generate, interpret, andcommunicate his or her own research results. In addition to the importance of undergraduateresearch experience, we also observed that the international experience gained by some of

academic department, it is necessary to survive the promotion and tenure process.Success is based on successful growth and contributions in teaching, research, and service. Promotionand tenure at universities that emphasize theoretical research expect faculty to engage in scholarlyresearch with the goal of finding new knowledge. This criterion is fine and has worked well in manydisciplines, such as science, engineering, and social science. However, the proposed reform ofengineering graduate education would change the emphasis of the work of faculty from pure research toother forms of scholarship. Although this would be a new to most engineering colleges at universities, itis not new to other service professions, such as clinical medicine and law

Technology programs are experiencing many ofthe same pressures at the beginning of the 21st century as the nascent engineering educationprograms did at the beginning of the 20th century; how do we get people to take us seriously, asprofessionals? How do we best serve our students and the industries into which they are hired?How do we best prepare people to go directly to work versus preparing to enter advancededucation or research?

However, for teacher preparation programs a teacher candidate that has high math literacy but still possesses high math anxiety is still at a disadvantage in teaching math. Similarly, a measure of T&E anxiety could prove useful for teacher preparation programs.

Tinto’s model suggests that highercommitment would lead to higher retention and graduation rates and could explain thedifferences found in the study. In other words, it is difficult to conclude a causal effect of FIGparticipation given the complexity of student attrition.Additional research is needed to examine the impact of such programs on the academic successof female and minority engineering students. Interestingly, the University of Missouri-Columbianow offers both single-gendered and coeducational engineering FIGs.

Motivation has been identified as an important characteristic predicting engineering retention(Felder, et. al., 2002). Qualities like persistence, resilience and clear goal setting are critical in motivating astudent’s commitment to graduate. Most of the research studies in engineering education have been focused onthe effect of goal setting on educational outcome because personal goal offers direct insight into how studentsthink about their futures.
