The goal is to accelerate the students’ progress toward achieving advanced degrees.Our project is in synergy with this effort and will positively impact the engineeringundergraduate program. Each proposed new course will be an elective offered for bothundergraduate and graduate students; once enrolled, undergraduate students can learn from andwork with graduate students in the same course, allowing them to experience graduate study.These courses will also provide undergraduate students with opportunities to participate inadvanced research and create a pathway to graduate study. All of the courses developed will beopen to the entire college. The new

In one study,86% of more than 100 senior executives indicated that it is “extremely important” for them towork effectively across boundaries, yet only 7% believed they were “very effective” at doing so.7The larger project represented by this paper responds to these challenges by proposing boundaryspanning as a core meta-attribute for engineering graduates and early career professionals.

. Several of myfriends who graduated with a B.S. in engineering described similar experiences. While somemight attribute that to the type of people who are willing to consider themselves my friends, Ithink of it as evidence that “trial by fire” is not the best way to develop research skills.Any competent professor could teach an undergraduate student how to conduct research withunlimited resources, especially, time. Since that is not the case, many student researchersunfortunately do not receive the proper guidance and instruction. When they develop researchskills independently, it is usually at the expense of their advisor’s project, funding, andequipment. In many instances, the advisor is stuck with only a preliminary study, if that. Toteach

Some of these studiesindicate that participation in and exposure to more advanced courses and materials in the earlystages of education play a substantial role in the decision making process for choosing a collegemajor and career path. More importantly, these studies suggest advanced work leads to asubstantial economic return. Following this model, we observed that a program like YSP canvery positively contribute to attracting
