In manyways, what educators are tasked with is providing students with models of the skills andcompetencies that will be required to continue self-education beyond the end of formalschooling. As educators, we need to provide the “spark”. However, as Mourtos[in 44] has pointedout, the main component of the ABET criteria 3i “…recognition of the need for… lifelonglearning” is not an aspect of the traditional cognitive domain usually focused on in highereducation. Rather, it belongs to the affective domain, not a skill that can easily be “taught” anddirectly assessed, but still vitally important. The second component of 3i “…an ability to engagein lifelong

would certainly benefit from formal instructortraining. The granting of a degree (Ph.D. or M.S.) does not automatically bestow teaching skills,especially effective teaching skills. Most professors simply try to emulate observed styleswithout any justification as to the effectiveness of different teaching styles. The lack of formaltraining programs at most universities, and nearly nonexistent programs to provide constructivecriticism from peers relegates most faculty to the very slow process of developing effective (ifthey are lucky and persistent) teaching styles through a long career of trial and error.

A recentreport by the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) 16 in the US has stated that, for thisreason, “graduate students can enhance or impede a collaboration, but they are almostalways used”. However, given that there is considerable evidence in the literature ofsignificant problems arising from fundamental differences between academia and industry, itseems

Additionally, as the standards, practices and processes,become more common throughout the world it will make it easier to develop internationalcooperative partnerships, exchange course credits and embark upon distance learning as amodality so as to insure lifelong learning independent of where an individual chooses to pursuetheir career or life. As a result, we see the need for a global experience as early as possible in theeducational program increasing, and the ease with which this can become accomplishedincreasing as well.

stakeholdersAnd I think especially the way that this course fits into that junior spring semester where you're really in the meat of starting to get a full understanding of “what does a major in EMSE mean?” and “what do you want to do with it?” puts it in a great spot where your gears are starting to turn about where you want to start your career trajectory and you're able to, if you want, like my group did, which was tailoring our project towards those interests. So I think that was a major avenue for creativity.
