Notes:
Undergraduate science education is based on a model developed in the decade following World War II. It has undergone no fundamental changes since then with courses that combine lectures and laboratory experiments. Traditional courses are typically based on individual performance and much of that performance is evaluated by tests and examinations. At the same time, the modern workplace has undergone revolutionary changes that are characterized by: interdisciplinary approaches; work in teams; the exponential growth of scientific information; the rapid turnover in projects; the need for continued retraining; multiple career tracks; the globalization of science and industry; and the pervasive use of electronic communications and information systems.
