Our primary reasons include that aMaster’s degree engineer, in general: 1. Is more likely to find an area of interest and passion 2. Feels much more confident about an area of engineering 3. Is usually placed in a position of leadership with more interesting challenges 4. Has more choices of projects in which they will be

Thisview was powerfully reiterated in the February 7, 2012 President’s Council of Advisors onScience and Technology (PCAST) Report to President Obama[3] which projected a shortfall ofone million scientists in the U.S. over the next decade due to the demands of an ever-increasingtechnological society and also, in part, as a result of insufficient STEM graduation rates.Closing the supply-demand gap will require a national commitment to develop more of the talentof all our citizens—especially those who currently comprise a disproportionately small part ofthe nation’s STEM workforce[2,4].

We are specifically interested inhelping designers to flexibly adopt ideation approaches that result in ideas either representingradical change or incremental change

It was understood that regardless of themethodology used, spikes would always occur before exams when students increase study andprior to the submission of lab reports and projects for which students were not afforded classtime. However, the authors hoped that, with Thayer 2.0, homework spikes would be eliminated.Unfortunately, this method was unable to eliminate spikes in time spent outside of the classroomfor homework; despite the fact that it allotted classroom time for homework completion.

This project assumes that users do not have insurmountablephysical limitations of sensory perception. Given operational levels of sensory perception, thefirst bottleneck where learning can break down is selection of stimuli to attend to – in otherwords, attention. As established before, in the technology classroom, there are more stimuli thanever before to choose from, which places unprecedented demands on students’ attention.Attention TheoryBasic attention theory distinguishes between top-down (endogenous) and bottom-up (exogenous)attention 87.

Thus, real-time interaction ability was seen as a key strategy for preventing the development of isolated learners who would begin to feel alienated and powerless.Within the PRODUCED program, the desire to provide for real-time communication andcollaboration has led to the adoption of two software tools paid for by university site licenses.For formal class sessions, the program employs a web-conferencing software platform thatallows faculty to manage their mixed face-to-face and online classroom environment.
