People who are working on projects that closely relate to their desired career path are very excited by their projects, but those who weren't matched with a project that was their top choice seem to be less interested. (Student 2- Male, Junior Engineering Management, Business Minor) My peers seem to be very interested in their own projects and seem to enjoy working on their projects as well. Albeit, I have not had a lot of interaction with many other groups, the ones I have seen seemed quite interested in their projects. (Student 3- Female, Senior Civil Engineering) It varies with the

A good grade in this course is not enough. E24 It is possible to pass this course (get "C" or better) without understanding physics very well. While we are pleased to learn that SI students have defined their learning goals and masteredbasic study skills, we are also troubled by some of their responses.

communication and information technology are reshaping our society inunparalleled ways. With the ever frequent reengineering and restructuring of corporate America,engineers are often working in disciplines that transcend their formal education. For example,many engineering graduates follow diverse career paths in medicine, financial engineering,management, public policy, and other fields that require a systems-oriented analysis andsynthesis ability. In addition, the highly complex and multidisciplinary nature of modernengineering systems demand synergies between various engineering and science disciplines anda strong synthesizing approach.

For example,some institutions begin faculty development efforts by paying scholars to visit their campus andteach people skills that are immediately useful in their classrooms. A series of such visits mightbe labeled a “Faculty Development Program” in that they develop faculty skills, which arehopefully adopted and implemented for long periods of time.

Mechanics course that serves as our testing ground is a mandatoryclass at the Academy for all cadets, regardless of major. It is part of a significant group of coreclasses that the Air Force mandates all Academy graduates pass in an effort to produce a well-rounded, balanced, academic exposure. This means the majority of cadets taking the course arenot mechanical engineering majors, or even in a technical major at all. Therefore, from thecadets perspective, the class and the mechanics taught are not viewed as critical to their degreesand/or to their careers and are likely not even interesting to a majority of cadets. What results,then, is a “study-to-survive”/ “all I want to do is pass” mentality with which a significant numberof cadets view each
