The hope is that the analyses will spur refinement andstimulate additional program startups. The three universities contributing to this paper are: • Purdue University, a mid-western land grant institution in the USA, has developed and gained both institutional and state approval to offer such a doctorate. In securing such approval, an extensive needs assessment was conducted, and this was followed by a soft- start pilot program. Subsequent to these two activities, a proper first cohort was recruited and

ReadinessAbstractColleges of Engineering have increasingly emphasized the importance of engineering studentsobtaining professional skills relating to global readiness. This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

Lab procedures are included to test andverify the frequency response of a compensated operational amplifier. The closed loop frequencyresponse is then proved algebraically for both the inverting and the non-inverting configurations,and lab procedures are included to test them.

Usually, students have to mention whatthey learned and how it complements something they already knew. Also, they have to sharehow their view or ideas changed after they completed the lab.

minus one would be a measure of the relative gain using the (post-pre)/pre concept.The learning assessment rubric of Highly Competent, Competent, and Needs Improvementversus Participant Deliverables was used. An improvement was observed in the grades ofdiscussion sections of lab reports. The student relative gain was about 0.2 (N = 22 and N = 20,two classes) in the assessment model using highly competent =1, competent = 0.8 and needsimprovement = 0.6). The rubric guideline is displayed in Table 1.The assessment result suggests that the modeling of liberal arts writing in the context ofdiagrammatic kinematics thinking would help students to improve on their physics lab reportwriting.
