In order to make the change thus far, we havehad to contemplate what things we did previously that had prepared us for the reformation, and howbiological engineering would be a natural extension of historical trends within agriculturalengineering. Some people have embraced the change easily; others still don't see the relevance ofbiological engineering to their careers. The result is a lot of repetition of the

Both years we received assistance fromthe Engineering Dean's Office to assign incoming students at random to the paired sections.In the 1996 collaboration there were two groups of 28 students (totaling 12% of the enteringclass), each group taking a section of TCC 101 with me, paired with a section of ENGR 164taught by John O’Connell.

My tenure as a grad student has been a whirlwind of classes,research, teaching, reading, writing, presenting, adversity, and fun. The lessons I learned alongthe way have helped to shape me both as a scientist and an educator; however I wish that I knewexactly what lay ahead during my graduate odyssey.The goal of this paper is to provide that road map, both incoming and current graduate students,through a series of stories and lessons I learned during my graduate career.

. “Attitudes are the ways one thinks and feels in response to a fact or situation.Attitudes reflect an individual’s values and world view and the way he or she perceives,interprets, and approaches surroundings and situations.”6 It is further explained that during theundergraduate experience future engineers need to begin developing supportive attitudes, andthat these attitudes will need to be modeled by those charged with their education, the staff andfaculty. The aim being that students can model these supportive attitudes themselves upongraduation, or at least be aware of them.6 The author feels that responsible social behavior fitsinto one of these professional attitudes.

The strong emphasis on laboratoryexperiences in Engineering Technology curricula supports active learning styles. Contrary topopular anecdote, these results indicate that students do not exhibit a strong preference for activelearning over reflective learning at the early stages of their undergraduate academic career. Thissuggests that active learning experiences including laboratory exercises and interactive problemsessions may provide a slight learning advantage over reflective activities (homework, reports)for students at this stage.
