Thispractice may lead to a mismatch between the student's learning experience and later employmentexpectations. Therefore, while the traditional unit operations laboratory ought to remain anintegral part of the chemical engineering curriculum, the instructional material should bemodified to adapt to the increasing use of information technology in the chemical processindustries. It is expected that with an increase in the authenticity and reliability of this form ofpedagogy, student learning will be enhanced.

Incomparison, full-time graduate study leading toward a research oriented career oftenappears far less attractive than the immediate and highly visible rewards offered forspecific entry level engineering skill sets. As a result, the number of engineeringgraduate degrees awarded has dropped in recent years1.While direct entry into a graduate program is not for everyone, it must be encouraged forthe nation's top research-oriented students to ensure sustained technological innovation.In order to encourage our most promising scholars to consider graduate school, factorsthat discourage them from
