The stress placed onand amount of activity that each aspect of the triad requires is a combination of institutionalinterests and individual interests and abilities. Therefore, it is important that the new facultymember do two things as soon as possible. First, the faculty member should assess his or herstrengths, weaknesses, and interests within each of the triad areas.

If it is a pure research problem, students learn to make their own path in a dark tunnel,accept time consuming tasks without sometimes any apparent results, and discover how to applythe theory studied in class to real situations. In general, it provides a golden opportunity for thestudent to combine theory and practice in his/her last undergraduate course to help them make asmooth transition toward an engineering career or graduate school.Most of the engineering departments graduate more than 50 students per year.
