If this work group mentality is properly formed and nurtured, then eachstudent’s individual academic success will naturally improve. The techniques they learn andapply through the cohort activities gives them the interpersonal and organization skills valued inthe technology workplace.Impact of the Cohort methodologyOne direct measure of the Cohort methodology is its acceptance under peer review by educatorsin the engineering and science communities.

Technology is aspecialization so whatever differentiates a university student of technology from atechnological student in a technical college it is something other than the study oftechnology. Whatever it is, it contributes to the student‟s development as a gentlemanirrespective of what he studies. “It seeks” as Davies writes, “to confer on its recipients afreedom of mind which those who do not possess this advantage will not exhibit.” Thusthe technical college student is in a certain kind of bondage because his studies do

However, amidstvariable circumstances, one of the true defining characteristics of these experiences is theavailability of not only the faculty but of other mentor types as well. For example, anundergraduate researcher in a mentoring triad experience may go to the graduate student mentorinstead of the faculty with questions or as their primary mentor. This could be due to the facultynot having enough time outside of a mandated meeting or the undergraduate researcher may feela perceived power difference and would rather opt for a more peer-to-peer interaction.

They aremandated to teach STS concepts to undergraduate engineering students, often fulfilling specificaccreditation requirements. The embedded STS department model can thus be understood as aresponse to these requirements chosen by a small number of engineering programs from among avariety of other avenues of response. Perhaps the most common response chosen has been torequire engineering students to fulfill the non-technical accreditation requirements by enrollingin ethics courses or writing courses offered by departments outside of engineering. Anothercommon response has been to require that engineering professors include
