As a girl in 11th grade at another local school commented recently, “We had arobotics class where we assembled and pushed buttons; but we really did not learn anything.”We provide here a different approach, of having students as partners, rather than mere users, indesigning and developing their lessons. Hands-on team based activities and consequent socialnetworking will also help them channel their energies better, reinforce each other’s learning, andcollaboratively achieve more elegant solutions.II.D.

Urgency for Engineering Graduate Education ReformTo Stimulate US Technology Innovation for World-Class CompetitivenessToday we know that there are differences between science and technology; but the differences are notwhat most people think. Confusion between science and technology is pervasive at all levels ofeducationincluding higher education. This confusion reflects the “root cause” for much of thedisconnect between U.S. engineering graduate education and the professional practice of engineeringrequired for creating, innovating, and leading the development of new, improved, and breakthroughtechnology to ensure U.S. competitiveness
organizations has additionally highlighted how socialnorms and culture can influence the behavior of individuals. Rudnicka, for instance, has shownhow students’ ethical reasoning and decision-making are affected by “contextual/environmentalfactors” such as team learning dynamics, work experience, the culture of the engineering field,and the moral intensity of a given dilemma or situation.19 Studies by Feister et al. and Zhu et al.additionally found evidence that students working in teams conceptualized ethics and madeethical decisions differently based in part on programmatic orientations (e.g., entrepreneurship,business, and community engagement). 18,20,21 Sunderland has also pointed to curricularapproaches and constraints as important factors

This finding is surprising given the emphasis on innovation,entrepreneurship, and technically challenging problems in engineering schools. They use theconcepts of value creation drawn

Most of the time, the criteria foressays have not been fully addressed on university websites, therefore, it is considerablychallenging to write essays that can lead you to better scholarships, programs, fellowships,advisors, etc. Recently, universities have started publishing useful videos for prospective students,which helps international students in multiple aspects of applying to graduate schools. Socialmedia has helped students in getting to know more about university activities, potential scholarshippositions, graduate assistantship positions, and entrepreneurship activities, however, there is
