In addition, areview of The Solutions Project will be done to determine whether or not the plan they put forthfor the state of Pennsylvania is applicable, with a review of the feasibility and success ofanalogous projects like Germany’s government backed solar incentives.Also, there is a need for attracting younger generation towards Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) field as United States is in shortage of

The complexity of modern technology and the sophistication ofcurrent knowledge and procedures makes it impossible for any single individual to know and doeverything; assistance from others is essential in virtually every engineering endeavor. Page 7.909.1It is vital that engineering graduates both understand the nature of, and be able to function in,team situations. As a result, engineering education must include a significant number ofexperiences that impact students in ways that build awareness and skills in teaming.

dynamics in a team.The importance of teamwork in STEM education is underscored by Criteria 3 of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) [2]. This criterion mandates thatstudent learning outcomes must include “an ability to function effectively as a member of atechnical team.” This requirement is rooted in the understanding that the future workforce mustbe adept not only in technical knowledge but also in interpersonal and collaborative skills. Byincorporating teamwork into their curricula, educational institutions help bridge the gap betweenacademic learning and professional requirements.Prior research has shown that effective teamwork is an important soft skill for building a set ofskills that are essential in the modern

This degree program, headed by an Assistant Dean, is already showinggreat promise, enrolling over 600 students. The challenge to produce security engineers in anundergraduate program further motivated GMU to incorporate a comprehensive securitycurriculum through new IT Security courses into its BS program especially in the Security andNetworking concentration (80% of students in the BSIT have formally declared for this option asof fall 2003).
