Therefore, it wasstipulated that the program length for the baccalaureate degree be 128 semester hours, and anyprogram requiring more than 128 must be properly justified. Baccalaureate degree programs at[University A], in general, are 128 semester credit hours or less, which

Clickers can be used to ensure studentsunderstand fundamental concepts by providing instant feedback to the instructor about studentknowledge gaps or misconceptions [1]. The use of clickers also helps maintain students’motivation and engagement in what’s going on in class, and provides an opportunity for PeerInstruction (PI).

Future work also includes tracking student performance in subsequent and more advanced classes.References[1] S. Singer and K.A.

engineering comprise one thread of currentresearch. Originating from Mead and Metraux’s 1957 study of high school student images ofscientists [10], more recent research has focused on comparing K-12 student drawings ofscientists and engineers [11-14].The Fralick et al.’s 2009 [13] study is of interest to our work in progress because it developed arobust taxonomy for comparing drawings of scientists (DAS) and engineers (DAE) by middleschool level students (see Appendix A). They developed three general categories: species;objects; and inferred actions. We employ the Fralick et al. taxonomy to identify intersectionsbetween the descriptions of engineers and engineering we collected from our citizen scienceparticipants and images produce by K-12
