The inference engine of a CBR system performs two main tasks: I) case retrieval bysearching the case library for the case(s) that best match the current problem; and ii) caseadaptation by revising the retrieved case(s) to fit the current problem context. A CBRsystem also supports the storage of new cases and the updating of existing cases enablingthe system to “bootstrap itself” or learn.

Service courses are oftenperceived to be non-relevant and lame by majority of engineering students.

The professor was astounded and herebutted that this was definitely not the case. Where did the student develop such anattitude? Maybe this attitude grew from the feeling that since the student, or the student‟sparents are paying for the student‟s education, that high grades are deserved. Or maybe itis because parents have control of our high schools and high grades are given to quiet anyrebellion from parents. After all
