The educational programs are aimed at furthering education in engineering and engineering technology by promoting global excellence in engineering and engineering technology, developing future generations of entrepreneurially-minded engineers. This is achieved by partnering and investing in educational initiatives and programs between industry and institu- tions of higher learning. Michael has served on various advisory groups including, the editorial board of the Journal of Engineering Education, Boeing Higher Education Integration Board, American Society for Engineering Education Project Board and the National Science Foundation I-UCRC Industry University Collaborative Research Center Advisory Board.

And yet he notes that the term researchonly entered the vocabulary of American higher education in 1906. Until then, scholarshipbrought to mind a variety of different forms of creative work. Boyer called for a return to abroader definition of scholarship, which included the scholarship of discovery

The vast majority of the early and presentday contributions in the area emanate from civil engineering, chemical engineering andbioengineering. Not surprisingly, these fields can and do have significant impact on the qualityof human life and much of the research exists because of the widely accepted values based onthe sacredness of human life.

The more commonly used definition of excess credits used sofar in this Section will be referred to as extra credits from here on in this paper. It is clear thatexcess credits are a subset of extra credits.
