In particular, some of the trading schemes that Enron usedwere described and discussed. I pointed out that some of the work to implement those schemeshad to involve engineers and programmers. During the past year I added a case study from theNSPE for the students to discuss. This involved a graduating student who planned to work forone company but decided to take a recruiting visit and ski trip to another

For this study, only the two four-yearconstruction management programs accredited by ACCE in Louisiana offered by LSU and ULMare considered. Because both institutions are public higher education institutions owned andoperated by state government, the service area of the institutions will be considered the state itself.It is recognized that the overall graduate production of these institutions may be insufficient tomeet the needs of the state itself and this will be briefly considered. However, the intent of thisstudy is to understand minority completion rates for these programs as compared to the minoritypopulations of the state and the demand for minority construction

The research concluded that online courses might be betterreceived when offered at the graduate level (involving adult populations) than undergraduatelevel.

By embedding advancedtechnical training during a student’s freshmen and sophomore years of an undergraduatecurriculum, students are not only motivated, but also have the skill sets needed toparticipate in research. After training, the student applies technical skills learned to anadvanced research project provided by collaborative relationships with industry, theuniversity, or faculty members. The integration of research and training increases thestudent’s confidence to compete academically among fellow peers, improves graduateretention, and improves a student’s academic performance.

To dothis, a 2-part study examined both evidence in the literature regarding education methods andevidence of course work required of engineering professional graduates in their pursuit of abachelor’s degree. Based on the findings of this research, while engineering professionalprograms are making progress toward better professional skills, it appears that there is still muchwork to do to ensure that graduates are well qualified for professional practice. Evidence suggests that written communication skills are the most widely addressedprofessional skills in engineering professional curriculum. Many programs

In essence, we recommend the direction taken byAller and Norback et al., which is to determine from these managers the specific traits ofsuccessful engineering communication in that setting. One important consideration, though, forsuch studies is that what managers from industry report back in such surveys can easily bemisinterpreted. For that reason, communication faculty with an understanding ofengineering should help interpret the comments. A second consideration is that with a fewaspects of communication, industry practices may lag behind what communication research isdiscovering to be

This is why I recommend that you keep an open mind when applying to and visitingpotential schools because you never know what school will be the right one for you.Furthermore, when deciding to attend graduate school I highly encourage all new students torealized the commitment that lay ahead, with most thesis research involving many years of study,often working long days and longer weeks.In the end, the most important piece of advice that I can give about choosing graduate schoolover an industry job is that you have to really want the MS or Ph.D. All of the members
