Boundary work has been used todemonstrate the demarcation between science and non-science2, the communication betweendifference social groups in knowledge production3, knowledge boundaries as source and barrierto innovation across organizational groups4, and the accumulation of social capital within a givenfield5. This study examines two academic degree programs in the fields of engineering atSouthern Polytechnic State University1 which share similar knowledge and similar expertise butdifferent levels of external social power. With such overlap in knowledge and expertise, it isdifficult to distinguish between the two even though the academic programs seek

Oral examinations, usedfor most graduate and post-graduate programs to assess whether or not a student is qualified tocontinue in the program, are well known to be effective in determining a student’s level ofunderstanding8. However, the time-intensive nature of individual oral examinations is perceivedto be prohibitive of their use in today’s undergraduate class sizes and faculty work loads. Toaddress this issue, an innovative technique of team-based oral examinations was attempted. Thebenefits of an oral defense of a student’s solution, peer review

The future of the cleaner energy challenge relies onwell trained work force and innovative thinking.
