For several fellowsthis also has helped them participate in discussions with professionals and representatives fromthe FDA at conferences and seminars.

Before, I did not even realize we had that kind of resource on campus where we could go and discuss a resume, look for jobs, and practice interview skills.

For the incoming freshman, these issues may occur at two distinct levels. First,there may be uncertainty as to whether or not civil engineering is simply the right branchof engineering, as opposed to, for example, mechanical or construction engineering.Second, if the student is settled on civil engineering, developing a plan that streamlinestheir coursework to target one of the many sub-disciplines within civil engineering whichinclude

The final step in the design process is communicatingthe results in a manner that enables implementation through manufacturing, construction,or some other means. Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meetdesired needs. It is a decision-making process, often iterative, in which the basicsciences, mathematics and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resourcesoptimally to meet these stated needs.

architectural technology varies from the perfunctory to the pervasive. Nevertheless, it’s fair to suggest that each school of architecture in North America is defined by its choice among the variables of teaching architectural technology.”1This observation suggests that the issue of technology teaching for architecture students is notgiven significant weight in academic discourse. Further weight is leant to this argument by Cary’sreflection in a 2003 Design Intelligence article about that publication’s planned Skills Assessmentsurvey.

In other words, what is the set of keyoutcomes one would like for their students to have possessed at the end of the learningexperience or even years after they have exited the learning process? For example, in theintroductory circuit course used for study three it was evident that students were expected tohave developed a certain level of engineering problem solving skills that could be translated toother complex learning experiences. The emphasis on working problems in the class or the use oflearning activities meant to provide more class time for working problems were also reflected instudies two
