Modest-sized graduate programs face the difficulty of achievingsufficient enrollments in graduate courses, further limiting course availability for graduate stu-dents. Attracting and retaining graduate students becomes challenging under such circumstances.However, graduate students form the backbone of any successful research program. The experi-ment presented in this paper was conducted to study the feasibility of forming teaching alliancesfocused in electrical engineering. These alliances allow several programs to pool their resources. I. IntroductionResources for higher education have become scarce in recent years due to decreased

Following an ethnographic approach, he did not engage in any of the activities in which the students participated throughout the IDC and interacted with them only when observation alone did not provide data on instances he believed to be relevant to answering the overarching research question (e.g., when participants worked quietly, independently, or engaged in self-reflection).

course effectiveness. Additional studies should examine this question againusing courses with larger enrollment.One limitation of this research is the specialized population of students in the course. The courseconsisted of graduate teaching assistants from around the College of Engineering. Some of thesestudents were independently teaching a course, lab, or recitation. Some students were notindependently teaching that semester. There could potentially be two separate populations ofstudents in the course and the results could likely be influenced by their teaching role in thegiven semester. Whether or not these findings can be generalized to other graduate courses or tothe population of undergraduate students is questionable.Another possible

The work associ-ated with this thesis is considerable, and, as a result, for the com-pletion of the thesis, the student must work several years. Some students obtain scholarships to study for the Ph.D. in othercountries.

Engineering Problem Solving: A Preliminary Study 1. IntroductionEngineering students are trained to be effective problem solvers. Specifically, engineeringstudents are expected to become skillful at synthesizing and applying information across multipleknowledge domains to generate optimal solutions to problems of varying levels of difficulty.Unfortunately, many engineering students graduate with discernible gaps in their problemsolving skills. Research has attributed these gaps, in part, to specific cognitive processingchallenges that students face during problem solving activities [1]-[10]. For example, Hadwin [4]and Lawanto et al.

The course content provides the needed technical breadth to the graduate education. In research: They need to become complete researchers who can study an area, define problems, write proposals, design and conduct experiments - both real and virtual - interpret results, and communicate the results. To do this they need practice and feedback (i. e., mentoring) in all these steps. Research provides the needed technical depth.
