such as CATIA. Most classes in all three majors, especiallyupper division classes, included laboratories, so students gained familiarity with much of theequipment through exposure in multiple classes.The model for the three engineering technology programs was effective. Over most of the yearsof the programs’ existence until the late 2000s they each graduated 10-20 students per year. In thelate 2000s interest in the degrees began to increase, starting with the PET program and then fol-lowing with the MET program and to a lesser degree the EET program. In the period from 2009to 2015, the average graduating class sizes were approximately 17 for EET, 25 for MET, and 31for PET. That EET was the smallest program was a reflection of the additional

discussed how the semester was progressing, any areas of struggle, andgoal setting. A number of students described that having a peer mentor was helpful. As onestudent commented, “it was comforting to know someone was looking out for us,” and anothercommented, “[as a STEM transfer student] the mentor knows exactly what we are going throughand can give suggestions from [the mentor’s] perspective.” Several students also described thebenefit of goal setting and having the opportunity to reflect on these goals. Other students foundthe peer mentoring less useful during year two, because they already felt successful in theircoursework, and had already identified their goals. Because these meetings could occur throughe-mail, most students did not find

If L2 proficiency isnot required for promotion where it is critically needed –the U.S. Foreign Service and themilitary– it is understandable that the perception of lack of importance is widespread in theU.S. what in turn explains the shortage in such qualification among the general population. Interestingly, there is some ideological pressure to comply with the idea that theknowledge of an L2 is somewhat valuable or, more plausible, that denying the value of L2 competence reflects negatively on the respondent. That explains why 50% of Eddy’s [10] sample disagreed or strongly

As previously described, each attribute score ranges between 0and 1, and the schedule score ranges roughly between 0 and 1. These values are multiplied by theinstructor’s chosen weighting factors in order to reflect their relative importance. Onto thiscompatibility score is added any prevented teammates penalty, required teammates penalty,and/or gender isolation penalty. This final sum is then normalized in order to give a score thatlies generally within the range 0 to 100. A team score can go outside this range only bybecoming negative because one or more of the penalties applies, or by going over 100

Therefore, the underrepresentation of women incomputer science is an important topic that has begun to garner university program’s attention.This shortage of computer scientists has prompted the computing community and educationresearchers to be more reflective about current practices in order to try to attract and retain morestudents, especially women, to keep pace with industry demands. As such, researchers haveexplored various engagement strategies in the field of computer science. One of the strategies withincreased attention in the last two decades is the idea of

, this individual goes on to say that they could not be as lenient for programs that “havethose absolute course requirements,” such as engineering.As a result, much effort is directed toward ensuring student veterans are aware of transferpolicies and receive course credit, if possible, for work completed elsewhere. Some universitystaff spend a great deal of time negotiating and advocating for student veterans to receivetransfer credit. However, several interviewees indicated that the transfer evaluation process hasmany shortcomings. The IAs expressed that the process is “tricky” “frustrating” and “somethingthat could be improved across the board.” This was particularly the case for engineering.In reflecting on challenges that student veterans

collaborate effectively for academic and careersuccess of students. The following is a summary of the lessons learned:  Learning in an undergraduate CS/CE program requires, at a minimum, a programmatic sequence of required courses (some of which are the gateway courses) that reflect a focused and conceptually-coherent development of disciplinary principles and practices. In turn, conceptually coherent courses provide students with the prerequisite knowledge necessary for success in subsequent courses within the CS program. Many students lack adequate and relevant background knowledge necessary to successfully complete those gateway courses that are required prerequisites for entry into a degree program in CS. With such

REU4 said that he intends to look for other research opportunities. REU5and REU6 felt that they would like to enter a career in research, while REU8 said that the area ofwater treatment might be an option. For REU9, the experience had provided general knowledgeof what graduate school would be like. REU3 was not sure about what his plans would be.These reflections indicated an increased

In the case of the rest to do so would excite in some in a thoroughly offensive fashion, in others certain lofty and vain hopes as if they had acquired some awesome lore.” Plato Letter VII, 341d- 342aPlato’s assertions here reflect the supercilious attitude as he seems to indicate that “the commonperson cannot assimilate sensational information without fear or being given to
