They also assistprofessors with grading of homeworks, quizzes and labs. The sophomore and junior levelcourses within the department were targeted. The rationale for selecting sophomore and juniorlevel courses was the need to better prepare students for their advanced year and increase ourgraduation rate. We are currently in the process of evaluating this procedure.Objective: Promote interaction between Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Seniors through adesign competition between electrical and computer engineering students

Justificationfor implementing a local GIS support site at this campus focused on the geographically dispersednature of the Penn State Campus Libraries and the limitations of data communications networksto carry large graphical data packets across campuses during laboratory exercises or geospatialresearch activities. Another consideration was the inability of local librarians to provide adequatesupport to users if GIS software and data were operated on a remote system.The library viewed the GIS initiative as an opportunity to potentially expand services andsupport to other disciplines throughout the campus. “Providing GIS Support through the librariesgives all

PSM degrees are recognized by the American Council of Graduate Schools.

Pilot sites were able to add several questions that could be tailored to their institution. Analyses of the data, from over 8000 responses, focused particularly on differences between male and female students suggesting some interesting issues. Perhaps the most important implication from this pilot survey is that institutions need to identify why women and men perceive the undergraduate engineering experience differently
