(six per category): standard problems and inferential problems. The problems in both the categories were small and simple; they did not require complicated mathematical formulas or calculator to solve them. a. Standard problems: The standard or textbook type problems were similar to the ones covered during the course in class assignments, home assignments and exams, with minor variations in numerical values and problem setup. Students were given sufficient practice on like problems. Two typical standard problems are given below: Q#25 Find ‘Vout’, as indicated, for the following circuit: Note: A typical voltage-divider-network; students had sufficient

CoworkersAs with managers, new engineers at every company reported varying degrees of help from thecoworkers. Many participants said that their coworkers helped them understand what is expectedof them and helped them accomplish their work. Other participants said that their coworkerswere too busy or too new to the work group to provide much help. Q: Did your [coworker] give you this assignment? A: Yes. Q: I assume he gave you background information? A: Yes and no. We both were new to this [name] system, so we pretty much were on the same page in terms of understanding the system. So it was like we both learned it at the same time. I found some information, I talked to him about it, he found some more information

or science teaching experience. We examinedwhether there were differences based on teaching experience by performing one-wayANOVA. Levene’s test was performed to ensure homogeneity of variance, and q-q plot wereexamined to ensure normality. We also computed effect size w2 for significant factors. IfANOVA showed significant differences, we performed Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test tocompare between groups. We did not explore differences between groups of different gendersor grade levels because the sample was rather homogeneous in terms of these attributes.FindingsResults of the entire surveyOverall, the summer academy participants thought DET was important (M=3.47, SD=0.35)(please note that 4 was the highest possible score, and 1 was the lowest

Page 15.413.8higher scores for only three criteria (one criteria was the same, and R1 had to leave thepresentation early and was not present for the Q/A session, and thus did not respond with respectto Criterion 7). This is consistent with scores from the HPV presentation, and appears to reflect asystematic difference between these two reviewers.With respect to the comparison of faculty and alumni scores, the most significant differencesoccur for Criteria 1, 7, and 9 (Organization, Questions and Answers, and Problem Definition).The alumni’s familiarity with the FSAE competition may help to explain their more generousevaluation of Criteria 1 and 9. The higher alumni score given to the Question and Answercriterion is consistent with the student
