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

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.

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?
