The team contract helps the team to reflect on past teaming experiences and setexpectations for their current team.The following week, students have work days when the instructor moves from team to team tohelp out and direct their work. During this week, the instructor invites students who have alreadycompleted HT to come back and talk with the current students.

The large IS staffs required to write and maintain custom application systems are a luxury only a few companies can now afford.

This situation often occurs whenstudents are assigned design projects, or more importantly when students practice engineering inindustry after graduation. Students are taught, in a series of dynamics courses, how to derive theequation of motion of a dynamic system whose resulting differential equation can be linear ornonlinear. At the same time, students these days are taught such that they are capable of usingthe above mentioned NAS to solve differential equations, even though their usage is mostlyfocused on solving ordinary linear differential systems. For most undergraduate mechanicalengineering students, who have no experience with the complex nature of nonlinear dynamicsystems, numerical

. The root of the problem might be in scholars' unwillingness to crossdisciplinary boundaries. As Ancarani (1995: 653) argued, “there has been relatively little contactto date between scholarship in international relations or political economy and the advances inscience and technology studies.... As a result, basic analytic concepts, including ‘globalization’and science and technology themselves, have been taken for granted and have not beenproblematized to a far greater degree than in more traditional areas of S&T research, such aslaboratory studies or controversies.”Furthermore there are significant conceptual and empirical problems with social theories thatmake implicit a possible role for engineers in globalization.
