tocurricular skills such as mastering a concept. This suggests that motivation for outreach amongstmen engineers may be enhanced by focusing on outreach activities embedded in the curriculum,rather than voluntary extra-curricular occurrences, and that more explicit links between outreachand ABET outcomes may appeal particularly to men. These initial qualitative results will lead to a more targeted quantitative survey the nexttime the course is taught and outreach is performed. Specifically, we would like to probestudent’s enjoyment (valence), student’s confidence on the ABET competencies mentioned herebefore and after the outreach activity (expectancy), and ask students to rate and/or rank the goalsthat emerged as a result of this study, before

Mock-ups of the modules developed were created by the middle school students. High school students, who have beginner’s knowledge of computing technologies, took into account the requirements collected from the middle school students Page 23.812.11 and were involved in designing and modeling the modules.

In general their results suggest that larger research institutions and programs withmore advanced graduate studies tend to have more parental leave policies, which is likelycommensurate to some degree with the level of resources these different types of institutionshave. However, at the time of their study, only 20% of their respondents had some form of paidparental leave. The most common type of leave policy was the tenure-clock stop, which 49% ofthe responding

She further comments that standard exercises are given without context andboth context and the thoughts of reflection, comparison and relationships of the solved answerare what produce a true understanding of the mathematics. Despite a good teacher’s explanationof connections between mathematical concepts, there is no guarantee that the students internalizethose connections.13At the lowest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy of educational objectives in the cognitive domainthere exists the ability of the student to recall information. Arguably, a student must master thisability before moving on to high levels and it is closed-book examinations that place “a premiumon accurate and extensive recall.”14 Limitations of the open-reference format
