There could be some argument that the specific skills obtained by thestudents in this course may never be utilized again during their careers, not accounting for thehigher level of learning available in this course. Students learned that if they can work with thebiggest structures in the world, certainly they can tackle problems associated with normal everyday type construction work. The format of researching the large structures before seeing themwas a powerful teaching/learning experience. It is one thing to

Here,“need” has a dual meaning: students must demonstrate financial need, and fellowships areawarded to disciplines viewed as traditionally having a shortage of well-qualified domestic stu-dents. Engineering is one such discipline. Since, from the outset, the program has targeted stu-dents who are interested in academic careers, statutory requirements dictate the course of studythat GAANN Fellows pursue must include a structured education component, so that, upon grad-uation, they are prepared for both the educational and research missions of academia.

Although not all rap music caters to the belief that higher education is futile,many rappers flaunt a lifestyle that appears to be more glamorous and more financially successful thanthat of the 9-5 career tract. Because many of the poorer youths (and their families) feel disenfranchised,many of these African-Americans become attracted to this lifestyle in an effort to raise their self-esteem,obtain power, admiration and respect from others, and be noticed by women. Rapper Ludacris states, It’s a fact. The gold back then, and the diamonds now…we wear that to get women. That’s all
