, Engineering Students, Assessment1. Introduction and BackgroundGlobalization has been one of the most prominent movements of the past decade. Theglobalization movement has been driven by economic, technological and political progress1. Asa result, this movement has even reached the engineering sphere. Engineers need to be ready totake on problems never seen before in a world that is open and competitive 2.According to Andersen3, engineers today require not only advanced technical skills but also theability to function in international projects with different cultures and beliefs to be successful inthe business world. However, in the United States (U.S.), engineering students have a difficulttime engaging with and accepting ideas from those whose

I thought GeotechnicalEngineering course is similar or another level of Geospatial Technology course. However, whenthe semester started we went to the construction site. From that visit the whole idea aboutGeotechnical Engineering changed. It was very interesting in my opinion. Also, meetingexperienced engineers changed all my thoughts about Civil Engineering. They are very preciseand careful in everything. I am being very honest and in my opinion, the site visit was very usefuland changed a lot in my mind”.

The paper further elaborates on the importance of incorporatingundergraduate research into the curriculum as this will prepare students to be socially, critically,and professionally adequate as they confidently enter the engineering work force and/or pursuehigher education. Undergraduate research not only adds a wealth of knowledge to the individual,but teaches patience, ethics, and discipline when applying processes and procedures and designingstandards that must be upheld because of the responsibility as professionals to protect the well

The non-invertingamplifier, the inverting amplifier and the voltage follower. The voltage follower can beconsidered a special case of the non-inverting amplifier, but it will be considered separately inthis paper, as it is a commonly used buffer circuit that the students need to closely understand.The gain for the different amplifiers can be derived using the negative feedback configuration.The main idea of the negative feedback is to reduce the potential difference between theinverting and the non-inverting amplifier inputs to obtain a voltage at the output

physics lab report writing and undergraduate research paper writing.I. IntroductionThe City University of New York instituted a writing intensive component in its curriculummore than ten years ago. Queensborough Community College (QCC), being a junior college inthe CUNY System, requires two writing intensive courses for graduation. Our PhysicsDepartment has designated Calculus Physics and Technology Physics classes as writingintensive classes where lab report writing is a substantial element 1. A quick review of the 2014high school SAT score shows that Engineering majors have higher critical reading scores whencompared to English majors, while English majors have higher writing scores when compared toengineering majors 2, 3. The result would
