Prior to the [first world] war, the matter of federation of these bodies was considered, so as to adequately represent the profession as a whole. The war emphasized the need still more and appears to have stirred the engineer to change his point of view from developing the technology of his branch of the profession merely, to the broad one of greater devotion to the common cause and greater service to the public. Looking forward, there can be little doubt that technological evolution necessitatesrenewal

Researchers suggest the inclusion of components of the lab activities into lecture materialsand having students being required to apply the formula they would be given in the lab to theactivities they would engage with in the lecture class. In doing this students would be better ableto connect what they are learning in the lecture class with the lab activities. Linking lab andlecture provides students with the opportunity to practice what they learn as a collective processas oppose to disconnecting the two areas.

Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops. Inthose workspaces, student investigators will work side by side with faculty. Togetherthey will learn to create, evaluate, improve, and
