Because they have previouslyidentified themselves by their high grade point averages and high class standings among highschool peers, a common adjustment MT students must make is recognizing that not everyone canremain at the top of this new environment.

Overthis semester, each team crafts a problem statement, conducts market research, creates detailedspecifications, performs a feasibility study, evaluates alternative approaches, and pitches theiridea to a panel of peers and faculty advisors. The teams also write a series of project reports, anda panel of faculty advisors evaluates and provides detailed feedback on these reports. Thecapstone sequence is inspired by an entrepreneurial funding model, so student teams areguaranteed a set minimum amount of funds and compete for shares of a finite pool of additionalfunds.Occasionally, teams determine that their proposal is not feasible within the constraints

While it may be enticing to attribute such observationsto the older students merely being more mature, experienced, and focused, couldthere also be other drivers contributing to these trends?Background Many researchers have studied brain development in humans. Untilrecently, the physiology of brain development was not known. It was thoughtthat beyond the prenatal stage, there were no large-scale changes and thatdevelopment continued along a straight-line trajectory. (C., 2009). It turns out,however, that this is not the case. Certain brain regions are now known todevelop faster than others. The emotional capacity of the brain develops anddominates when

In the same way, engineering students cannot grasp the necessary knowledge andskills without the struggling process in solving homework problems [5].Almost all the publishers of the textbooks provide the solution manuals to the instructors, andunfortunately, these materials are leaked to students through the internet.
