MIDFIELD is a rich longitudinaldatabase with student-level records for all undergraduate students at nine southeastern publicuniversities from 1987-2005. The MIDFIELD database contains records for 857,001 uniquestudents of whom 462,443 received at least one bachelor’s degree, 135,860 who were at somepoint enrolled in engineering with 71,277 receiving a bachelor’s degree in engineering. First-time-in-college students who are U.

Imagine that students can askquestions online and are able to receive their professor’s answers even while that professor is offdoing his or her research, on sabbatical, or just on down time. A natural language knowledgemanagement system could be the solution. An integral component of knowledge managementsystems, a knowledge base, is used to optimize information collection, organization, and retrievalfor an organization, or for the general public [1].

Because of the changing nature of modernengineering, young technical or staff engineers must grow into leadership roles faster than theirpredecessors.”2 In general the current engineering education system has been primarilyconcerned with the development of technical expertise and has not taught or promoted leadershipeducation and development in a systematic way.

Engineering Design The development of computer-aided part modeling software can be traced to the early 1960’s. These early CAD packageswere two dimensional systems, designed to fulfill only the role of electronic drawing board. During this same period, efforts in the areaof NC machining by companies in the aeronautical and automotive industries lead to the mathematical work in the area of computer-modeling of sculptured surfaces. Finally, computerization of engineering analysis began with the development of finite element analysis(FEA) software. This software relied upon geometric modeling techniques for both pre-processing (development of the modelgeometry) and post-processing (display of the results)5.During the early 1970’s, efforts were
