length of study for the degree.Feedback from students is essential as public universities are looking for ways to improvegraduation rates. IntroductionIn the recent years there has been a major discussion on the time it takes for students enrolled inpublic institutions of higher education to receive a four year undergraduate degree. The numbersfor four-year and six-year graduation rates are typically very low for most public institutions thatdo not have selective admission policies. The numbers are as low as 10% graduation rates infour year and lower than 30% in six years. Pressures from public and state authorities are risingfor the public university to increase their four and six year graduation rates

A pointgleaned from research articles on such studies is that perhaps the U.S. hasn’t lost what it hadwith regard to industrial capabilities so much as other countries have finally caught up2.Industrial parity is being achieved worldwide. Conditions have begun to form that require an“evolution to the next step” for regaining and maintaining an industrial benchmark. This point inthe industrial evolution process appears to provide an opportunity for the Engineering disciplineto redefine and reestablish its standard for excellence.

These insights might help students to focus on areas of exploration in completingthesis or project requirements for their particular degree study plan. Also, we wanted to exposestudents to research that involved our construction faculty members. A further goal was toencourage student presentations on their selected topics.In order to address these above concerns, it was decided to implement a graduate seminar inconstruction.

He and his team had grown tired of testingand forewent some of their planned tests. The payload failed. “Testing is tiresome, tedious,boring, and essential,” said Mather. “If you do not test it, it will not work.”27 Years later, afterMather set aside his involvement in research related to cosmic background radiation, NASAoffered him the opportunity to fly the experiment in space on the Cosmic Background Explorer(COBE).
