I do not really believe there is any bias involved with this because the company just doesnot want to spend extra money on benefits.” The students’ comments were particularly surprisinggiven that 40% of the faculty of the Computer Science and Engineering Department is female,giving the students ample opportunity to observe successful females in computer fields.The IAT assignment’s failure to raise the awareness of students of issues related to the gendergap made a new approach necessary.

This will require further study in subsequent semesters.ConclusionsIn order to better serve engineering students who respond to hands on learning, a robotic versionof a MATLAB programming course was developed through a pilot program. After being taughtunder the pilot for two years it was integrated into the regular curriculum. It was brought into thecourse offering as a variant of the regular version, and so uses the same syllabus and book as theregular version. Some modifications to the course

The development of these traits is becoming increasingly important fortraining engineering students nationwide in that these traits help students persist and excel intheir chosen engineering disciplines. At the same time, full curricula and the rising cost ofeducation have placed pressure on institutions to reduce the credits needed for an engineeringdegree. As such, there is not enough space in the curriculum to that ensure all the necessarylearning occurs in the classroom. In addition, there is little understanding as to how out-of-classroom experiences might be critical sources of learning for engineering undergraduates.Shrinking budgets are worsening the problem as institutions now find themselves in a

amovement “from having self-degrading racial identity attitudes to self-enhancing racial identityattitudes”8 (p. 34), where individuals feel secure about their own racial group and appreciateother racial and ethnic groups. The challenge with Cross and Helm’s theoretical models is thatthey both do not consider holistic individuals with their other identities. Therefore a use of amultifaceted model for racial identity development seems to address this issue. The Multidimensional Model of Racial Identity (MMRI) was first introduced by Sellersand others in the late 1990s; MMRI treats each AA individual uniquely with different thoughts,cultural views, and behaviors. This model provides an integrated view of racial identitydevelopment of AAs by

The diverse curriculum of thisengineering major causes students to be well sought out by the industry. However, acareer in Technical Sales is not a traditional choice for women, thus leaving the femaleundergraduates apprehensive about their career goals. So, a group of students and the IDfaculty decided to found an organization that catered to the needs of the female IndustrialDistribution Engineer and resolve this concern.

However, due to the increasing numberof study paths as well as the specialization of particularly technical oriented classes, there is aneed for the integration of new media into the curriculum of most students [1]. Thus, thevisualization of educational content in order to explain theory more concrete and tangible hasgained importance. To prepare students adequately for new situations in their work life,virtual reality (VR) can be an effective instrument for learning and teaching processes. Byimitating real-world processes, professional skills can be developed, increased or maintained.Especially if the
