) disaggregated by gender and ethnicity to show“differences in performance” can be used to support master narratives of superiority andinferiority based on demographic variables (Yosso, 2006). For example, critical theorists wouldargue that quantitative analyses of demographic differences can reveal achievement gaps wheresubordinated groups are unfairly stigmatized for low achievement. In addition, critical racetheory also posits that quantitative data analyses can also obfuscate intersectional differences(e.g., performance of Latinas versus Latinos, when gender and ethnicity are not disaggregated)(Crenshaw, 1991; Solórzano, 1997, 1998). While we considered comparison data regardingwhether or not certain groups of students were differently influenced by

Each lab exercise taught students a newfeature of KiCAD and built upon previous knowledge by utilizing the tools learned in earlierlabs.

Emotions aresystematically affected by the knowledge and goals of the learner, as well as vice versa.” Theygo on to explain that a balanced system is important when learning through failure.

In the futuremore time will be allocated to each activity. According to these results, 75-90 minutes peractivity would be sufficient. This will of course limit the number of activities, but the additionaltime spent to master the nuances of each activity is worth the limited exposure.Extending

languages (i.e. Java) is the concept of concurrency [2], orprogrammed code running in ‘parallel’; a concept that is difficult for even the most experiencedhardware developers.Teaching digital design using HDLs requires the use of modern industrial design suites [3],available for free to students, but require a steep learning curve. In order to master the designtools, design methodologies, and concept application to real-world designs requires a large timeinvestment on both the student’s and teacher’s part; not only from direct interaction but also fromhands-on experience. The necessity of time-based interaction with the hardware and software waslacking when the course materials were taught using traditional teaching methods.In prior years, digital

As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate
A Model for Aligning Engineering Technology Curriculum with Industry NeedsAbstractIn order for students to master the skills and competencies required by industry, academicprograms must be focused on, and oriented towards, the skills that have the most relevance andvalue.

Challenge Problem 11Projectile Motion: A master Pokemon trainer stands poised to throw a pokeball ata wild Pikachu. The trainer’s aim is practiced and accurate and, as such, alwaysthrows a pokeball with the same speed, V0 = 22 m/s, and with the same angleabove the horizontal, θ0 = 15°. Catching a pokemon is then only a matter ofprecise timing! As Pikachu are intelligent and difficult to catch, they are prone tojumping at random moments to avoid capture. If the standoff begins at t = 0 s, andanticipating that the Pikachu will jump at tj = 3.0 s, determine the interval of time,t1 < t < t2, over which the trainer must release the pokeball to guarantee capture.The Pikachu is 0.5 m tall, jumps to a maximum height of 1.5 m, and capture isguaranteed
