Thus, we only haveanecdotal evidence about the causes for student learning or the impact of conflict in particular ontheir learning.Comparing our course with previous instances of it is difficult because we taught it in a verydifferent way. We used many “unusual” techniques, including reflective techniques, 2-hourclass sessions, teaching with our mouths shut, devoting almost one

a very advanced topic for the railroad industry. There are many safety and power issuesthat the research team examined. The railroad industry wanted to utilize the fuel cell as anauxiliary source of energy, thus, employing a smaller, more efficient diesel power plant toprovide power. The net result would be a cost and fuel savings over various regions and terrains.The design team determined that an SOFC (solid oxide) cell was best for this purpose. On boardgasification of biodiesel will be used for the fuel. Major components include SOFC, gasifier, gascleaning, heat exchangers for heat recovery/preheating and cooling. This cooling system has toremove heat from the fuel cell stack using bi-polar plates and remove heat from electric motorsand

Abstract The low recruitment and high attrition rate of women in engineering is well documented.Women account for only twenty percent of the entering class cohort, and drop out at a rate tenpercent higher than their male counterparts.1 Although in the past twenty years women havemade inroads into many fields that were male-dominated, women have made little or no progressin engineering.1 This paper has three goals. First, this paper will review existing literature that identifiescurrent and alternative theories about why engineering programs do not retain female students.Second, this paper will synthesize motivational psychology research into a best-practice modelfor engineering programs. Last, we hypothesize that photovoltaic

Of all students who enroll asengineering majors approximately 50% will graduate, with a disproportionately high attritionrate for women and minorities [9].Understanding and addressing student success factors is a critical element to supporting diverseand thriving engineering graduates. Among the main factors [9] found for students leavingengineering were classroom and academic climate, self-efficacy and self-confidence, and raceand gender issues. Academic success is not solely based on abilities and aptitudes; it is alsoinfluenced by sense of belonging in the academic environment [10
