field studies are needed for biology labs. Water analysisinstruments for use in the field and in the laboratory are essential for biology. For cell biologychromatographic apparati are essential to support fractionation. The following chromaticapparati are needed: (a) partition (paper), (b) thin-layer, and (c) column.Instruments are needed for use in chemistry to prepare materials and process samples. Topromote laboratory safety, eye wash stations, chemical storage cabinets and exhaust hoods withutilities are needed. Stills are essential to generate laboratory grade water for use in bothchemistry and biology.Models and PC software are needed for geometry courses so students can better grasp three-dimensional geometry for their pre-calculus

divergent phase and a rationalefor making additional choices in order to find the optimal solution, a concept we introduced asConvergent Design. In our framework, Convergent Thinking was described for students asfollows: In brief, convergent thinking may be thought to include (a) the generation of constructive design ideas that work within the constraints and (b) analysis and problem solving that assesses a particular design’s efficacy.Convergent Thinking, in our framework, involved Analysis and Problem Solving, which wereseparated along a thin line. Convergent Problem Solving was discussed as the textbook-typehomework problems with which engineering students were most familiar. The problems areextremely well defined and
