It is, however, envisioned that such a mind-set shall be compatible with anemerging manufacturing environment in which heretofore unfamiliar paradigms shallincreasingly become commonplace and where tolerance for and acceptance of trends that are notcontemporaneousv shall become compelling.

As would beexpected, few in the lower level mathematics courses were interested in engineering, whilealmost all of the students in Calculus III intended to be engineers, while a few of these studentswere pursuing physics or mathematics. An effective message for many of the students in the lowlevel mathematics classes is to discuss careers. The students are asked about their career choiceand why they chose it. To open their minds to other possibilities, suggestions are made thatperhaps instead of a physical therapist, they might want to be an engineer involved in biomedicalengineering or environmental issues.
