I think it would be better to get the students involved rather than watch a TA run the test.”Comments of this type have been appearing since the beginning of the survey and also on theinitial voice of the student focus groups. However, the number of these comments has decreasedover time. A concerted department wide effort has been made to increase the hands on nature ofall lab courses. Some experiments are easier to make

As stated by Feisel and Rosa[4], a typical goal of a laboratory course is to relate theory and practice. They also mention theadded benefit of students interacting with physical systems, which can be useful in a successfulengineering career where the theory must be applied. If done well, laboratories can assist inhands on skills, problem solving, and analytical thinking [5]. While

They proposedoing so by asking traditional technical questions in ways that require students to interrogatepotential circumstances of problems they are given in class [13]. This can be done in ways thatdo not forfeit the technical requirements demanded of an engineer, but rather complementlearning in the classroom to better mirror (and prepare students for) the socio-technical worknecessary for acting as Engineering Changemakers or, simply, for successful careers inengineering.This paper details the first iteration of a module to incorporate

program because in this framework students are led to view the coursecontents as unconnected pieces. Thus, students lack the understanding of how theseunconnected course materials build on each other to form the core knowledge expected of acompetent electrical engineer. This lack of understanding manifests itself in low studentmotivation, interest, and knowledge regarding the discipline. Furthermore, it results in studentsperceiving a lack of value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required togo through the program [1]-[4]. As a result, attrition rates in engineering departments havebeen higher than expected. For example, the number of American students earning bachelor’sdegrees increased by 16% over the past 10 years

Further, student decisions toengage in global activities after returning from a global experience can increase the long-terminfluence of the global program on their attitudes and career plans [9]. These studies suggest thatalthough the structure and components of global programs can influence program outcomes,there can still be different pathways for students who have the same experience.

IntroductionEvery measurable quantity in the physical sciences is a tensor. Mass, distance, time, position,velocity, acceleration, momentum, force, torque, work, energy, pressure, charge, the electric andmagnetic fields, temperature, heat, entropy, stress, strain, moment of inertia, curvature—these areall tensor quantities. Every time we write down an equation, perform a calculation, take ameasurement, run a simulation, or perform an experiment, we are dealing with tensors in one wayor another. Indeed, the very laws that govern the universe are most conveniently formulated astensor differential equations. It is therefore no exaggeration to say that, as scientists andengineers, we work with tensors on a day-to-day basis throughout our entire careers. And so

. However, some items still needed to be cut, as thegoal of piloting these two surveys was to shorten them and combine them in to one. As a result,we looked back to interview data gathered previously [11] and determined that the best items tocut were 'My family sees me as a SCIENTIST' and 'Others ask me for help with SCIENCE'. Thefirst was cut due to statements from students that, as they became increasingly specialized intheir graduate careers, their families were less familiar with the work they were doing and theylooked to them less often for recognition and approval. The second was cut to maximizeparsimony, as it potentially conflated 'recognition' with 'performance/competence' and there wasalready an adequate number of 'recognition
