There evidently are powerful barriers in place against such degrees. Wespeculated that these barriers include the professionalization of engineering professors asspecialists, the assumptions that engineering professors make about the job market for graduatesof their program and assumptions that engineering professors make about when and whystudents enter the degree program in the first place.Bibliography[1] Newberry, B., and Farison, J. “A Look at the Past and Present of General Engineering and EngineeringScience Programs” Journal of Engineering Education , 217-226 (2003).[2] Profiles of Engineering and

That these facets of the course were immediately obvious toobservers who were unaware of the course aims is very encouraging. Other observationsin their report for included: a) considerably higher attention paid by the students in the experimental course (no sleeping, considerably less cell phone checking), b) students in the traditional lecture were very passive (taking notes from the board) while students in the experimental course were actively engaged (working on problems, discussing their designs with other groups, presenting
