Sincemany of us are tenured, and not required to go out and continually re-skill, our deans anddepartment heads have to ask, “What might be done to enhance the vitality of existing faculty inwhom resources have been invested and to whom institutional commitments have beenmade?”[1].

Dependingon funds availability faculty may not be eager to hire undergraduate students, since they maytake a longer time to train and are not expected to obtain too soon results that could bedisseminated through scholarly publications. And from the student perspective, if funding is nota choice, they may prefer to get part-time jobs rather than dedicate time to unpaid research. Forundergraduate engineering technology students, for example, this is usually the case, withstudents considering getting involved in undergraduate research only if funding is available.Most undergraduate research at different academic institutions focuses on summer programs.

These skills are not associated with cognitive processes, but with perceptive (i.e.intuition, insight and enthusiasm, leading to the ability to generate solutions and make decisions),and pragmatic (i.e. experiential/observational modes of thought which facilitate planning,implementation and evaluation) processes. In response to the perceived "over-correction"towards solely analytical thinking, the National Science Foundation has made significantinvestments in engineering education reform (4). In addition, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) has recently adopted accreditation criteria which requiredemonstration that graduates of accredited programs can do more than manipulate mathematicalexpressions (5,6).In order

Theability to learn independently is vital because 1) the rapid pace of technological change willotherwise cause you to lose your competitiveness, and 2) your continued professional growth canonly be supported by an growing knowledge base. Take time to r eally think about this.Wouldn't you honestly expect senior engineers--whether they are managers, executives, orentrepreneurs--to be current in their technical knowledge and, further, would also havedeveloped a broad base of knowledge and experience?
