This is a conducive to the individual faculty’s schedule to return to theinstitution on the anticipated date upon completion of the fellowship at a NASAcenter.Results and Outcomes1. Management and LeadershipManagement and leadership skills are developed via individual standing on theproject(s) and exercising necessary freedom of work ethics. Flexible schedule ofworking is a great advantage for the fellows. Often the fellows take advantage ofenjoying working during the weekends without hesitation. The gathering of thefellows administered by the UNCFSPC gives an opportunity to know each otherand may lead to future collaborations. This expansion of horizon

This database confirmed that engineeringstudents are dominated by thinking and judging types and are more introverted than othercollege students. There were substantial differences between the schools, but the overalltrends remained the same. Several effects of learning style were first raised by this study.Female engineering students were observed to be more extraverted and more feeling thanmale engineering students and some significant differences were noted for minoritystudents

) s = standard deviationEffect size is generally used in studies which employ a well-defined control group forcomparison with the experimental group. In such cases, the standard deviation of the controlgroup is used. Boud’s recommendation for studies which compare student to instructorassessment is to use the standard deviation of the instructors assessment.This statistic is useful in determining how well the students’ self-assessment reflects theperformance of the class as a whole. A value of zero indicates perfect agreement, while apositive value indicates that the students overestimate their proficiency.

By using Bloom’s Taxonomy, people not associated with engineering educationcan identify with this multi-disciplinary project and its objectives. Bloom’s Taxonomy forms thebasis for the development of assessment rubrics used as evaluation tools. The assessment evaluation is independent of problem grading. The class grade is basedon the instructor’s objectives, while the cognitive assessment is based on rubrics independent ofthe numerical solution. It was never Bloom’s idea to have his taxonomy used to provide coursegrades. A participating student may demonstrate a high level of critical

Research shows that STEM teachers in U. S. schools lack content knowledge andmastery of subject-related pedagogy that enables them to teach content most effectively1. Theyalso lack a sense of the connections among concepts that reveal mathematics as an internallylogical and coherent system of knowledge2.

Inherent Social Constraints: The Jordanian women were affected with all the inherited social constraints that may deviate their thinking from getting involved in certain activities. Some of these activities do not welcome women. For instance, attitude tests in the 1970’s demonstrated that social implications and social responsibility issues have a significant effect on girls’ choices, but little on boys’1. This is in spite of the fact that studies indicated that men and women are attracted to the engineering profession for similar reasons, including ability in mathematics and science, career opportunities, challenge, and good salary prospects. 2.
