Also, at a 2009 symposium ofengineering graduate students at a large mid-Atlantic research university, a representativesampling of presentations averaged more than 40 words per minute. In addition, the paper calculates this metric for representative presentations thatfollow alternative slide structures. For instance, in a large set of assertion–evidencepresentations created by international science and engineering Ph.D. students for whomEnglish is a second language, the projected words per minute were less than 20. Thatnumber contrasts dramatically with the more than 40 projected words per minute fromU.S. graduate students.

belief surveys. One of the most commonly used measures is Fisherand Peterson’s Adaptive Expertise Beliefs survey [1]. As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction. Results indicated a significant difference in overall adaptive expertise beliefscores. However, researchers did not find significant differences between the two groups on anyof the individual Fisher and

Data CollectionT he data analyzed in this paper was collected at a large, predominantly white research institutionin the mid-Atlantic U.S. Participants were recruited from a survey that was distributed toundergraduate students in a living-learning community (LLC) and graduate students, both enrolledin the same college of engineering. T his sampling approach was purposive (Creswell & PlanoClark (2007) as diversity-related initiatives were ongoing at the institution and we aimed toleverage these efforts to facilitate discussion.

Funding was providedagain from SUCCEED to revise the delivery method of the first year courses to include theseactivities. Fall semester of 2001, students in all 36 sections of EF1015 were exposed to asequence of team collaborative active learning opportunities.A questionnaire to assess student perceptions of learning was given at mid-semester and at theend of the fall 2000 semester to eight hands-on (HO) sections and ten traditional (TR) sections.9A discussion of the end of semester results of the HO students versus the TR

Academic Integrity into Engineering CoursesAbstractThis study examined how a professional development workshop affected faculty members’perspectives about incorporating academic integrity into their engineering courses. Embedded inthe context of a new initiative at a large Mid-Atlantic University that aims to enhanceengineering students’ understanding of academic integrity and professional ethics, the workshopfeatured three aspects: 1) enhancing faculty members’ self-efficacy in teaching academicintegrity and professional ethics; 2) facilitating their development of instructional strategies forteaching integrity and ethics; and 3) supporting their classroom implementation of instructionalplans. Seven faculty participants were interviewed after

majordifferences between coping networks of students who are able to successfully manage stress versusthose who are not able to? To answer these questions, we surveyed graduate engineering studentsat a mid-sized Mid-Atlantic institution. The survey consists of three major sections: (1) thePerceived Stress Questionnaire (S. Levenstein, et al. J. Psychosom. Res., vol 37, no. 1, pp. 19-32,1993.), which is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's perceived stress level, (2) asection for respondents to identify and rank major sources of stress, and (3) a section forrespondents to identify and rank major coping strategies. The survey identified research, grades,and issues relating to mental health as major stressors for all groups, and people

It is guided by the theory of liminality. Forty-two postdocsemployed at a Mid-Atlantic, research-intensive University, participated in individual interviewsto describe their experiences as postdocs at the University. This paper provides answers to thefollowing three research questions: (1) What are the benefits and challenges of science andengineering postdoc positions? (2) What liminal experiences characterize the postdoc position?and (3) What recommendations to improve the postdoc experience emerge from this study?IntroductionThe purpose of this study is to learn about the
