AC 2008-72: THE COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE DOMAIN IN ASSESSING THELIFE-LONG LEARNING OBJECTIVEJoseph Hanus, United States Military AcademyScott Hamilton, United States Military AcademyJeffrey S. Russell, University of Wisconsin - Madison Page 13.1209.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 The Cognitive and Affective Domain in Assessing the Life-Long Learning ObjectiveAbstractThe success of the engineering profession requires students to be educated in the technicalpractices and inspired to develop the traits of life-long learning. The authors’ objective is todemonstrate the use of the cognitive and affective domains in
, causality binds together reasoning processes that are commonto all STEM disciplines, including making predictions, drawing implications, making inferences,and articulating explanations.PredictionsReasoning from a description of a condition or set of conditions or states of an event to thepossible effect(s) that may result from those states is called prediction. Prediction assumes amore or less probabilistic relationship between causal antecedent(s) and effect(s) because apotentially large number of causal relationships can participate in the occurrence of the effect.The two primary functions of prediction are forecasting an event (e.g., economic ormeteorological forecasting) and testing of hypotheses to confirm or refute scientific

These percentages contrast sharply with thedemographics of these groups in the current overall population and workforce; by 2020 over Page 13.778.240% of college-aged students will be racially/ethnically diverse3.Currently, the U.S. engineering workforce remains 90% white and male; engineering, inparticular, has not attracted women and URMs. Baccalaureate degrees received by both URMsand women in
. Employment growth willbe driven by increasing demand for healthcare and social assistance because of an agingpopulation and longer life expectancies. Employment in administrative support and wastemanagement and remediation services is projected to grow by 31 percent and add 2.5million new jobs to the economy by 2014. Service industries have accounted for almostall U.S. job growth since the 1960’s. Wages in the service sector overall have risen fasterthan wages in most other sectors.The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the most complete information concerning IE and IETemployment. Analysis of their data is somewhat limited due to the lack of informationabout job titles or degree types. Another gap in the data concerns the other job titles thatIEs and

Upper class students felt recognized by their professors,and the participants agreed that the professors perceived them as capable, good students, andresponsible. This change in perception gave confidence to students, as they explained: …as I entered directly to the major [upper class], that is to move from the Annex to the Principal [building], it was different, the professors recognized that we [women] were good students --it was a change in mentality (Georgina).

Although rudimentary, the first landfills were simple piles ofwaste with layers of earth piled on top to remove odor from the air.11 This stands in stark contrastto the high-tech waste facilities within the modern societies of the world.

surprisingconsidering the directional nature of the antenna.Outdoor Signal Test: We rolled the large Cantenna to a distance of about 200 yards fromour building (Technology Center) and hooked it up through 2511 PLUS EXT2 wirelesscard to a laptop which was running Net Stumbler. We then turned the antenna to face theTech Center. Using our antenna we were able to pick up 8 access points with 4 of themhaving a signal to noise ratio (S/N) greater than or equal to 20 dB (a threshold requiredfor proper access). We then replaced the large cantenna with a smaller one and we werethen able to pick up 7 access points with 2 of them having S/N ratio that is greater thanthe threshold.
