composition of all women wasunintentional, Michaela believed that gender may have also played a role in making thecollaboration easier. She points out, “There definitely could be a little bit, based on gender, for itbeing easier. But I can also think of a lot of guys in my class that would have worked equallywell. There's always a small group of guys that most of the women don't want to work with.” Sheis conscious that while most of her classmates make good teammates, most of the women have afew male students they would rather not work with.The other past collaborative writing experience Michaela has had involves an aerospace studentorganization. In that group, she is currently the president, which means she is responsible forgrant proposals and

unanticipated ways.Outcome C3: Elaborate on how technological improvements have enabled 50+ years of“Moore’s Law.”While Gordon Moore famously predicted in 1965 that semiconductor device density inintegrated circuits would periodically double every 18 months, the prediction only came true dueto ongoing, intentional investment in research and development, heavily subsidized in its earlydays by government, military, and aerospace and only later by the semiconductor industry itself.It was not in any sense “inevitable” even though it appears to be so in hindsight. A closerexamination of the history of semiconductors and their applications shows that progress was notuniformly positive – some companies took “wrong turns” that were ultimately unsuccessful

pinnacle right now and I was just discussing with another friend of mine who I feel is twice as smart as me and, you know, I always felt like he always got such better grades than I did and he and I were just debating, what are we going to do if we fail this class, because we're going to have to retake it. We couldn't graduate; then we won't get the job that we were supposed to have lined up. And I mean, it's really, really hard right now. And I feel like all of the other aerospace people I've talked to have the same feeling. So it's pretty bad this semester. It just gets worse and worse. –female studentAdditional student concerns related to faculty and TAs’ teaching skills, advising, and labequipment
