during World War II with design anddevelopment of weapons like the atomic bomb and radar defense systems, engineering came tobe more and more like applied physics. The Russian launch of Sputnik in December 1957accelerated the movement of the engineering curriculum toward applied physics.

Before a professor jumps into the world of educational research, he needs to makesure his university will accept research of this type. Some universities do not recognizeeducational research as real research. Other universities may accept educational research, butstill want you to do some traditional research.

According to Schon 3, the main features of reflection in action are learning by doing,coaching rather than teaching, and creating a dialogue between coach and student. Effectiveforms of learning by doing in real laboratories have been implemented in Engineering Education,especially for capstone courses 4. Alternatively, a methodology of building a simulated scenario,in which the student can learn-by-doing while interacting with fictitious characters (some ofwhom provide coaching), has been proposed by Schank 5 as an effective form of
