Both of these instruments use Likert scales, which introduces uncertainty in theintervals between scale points. The Likert scale data was treated as ordinal and a nonparametricMann-Whitney U-test was used to determine group differences based on Mean Rank. Data werematched for pre/post, resulting in 18 paired data sets (11 US students and 7 Central Asianstudents).Significant differences were identified between Mean Rank of students from the US universityand students from the

This will enable studentsand faculty to develop an entrepreneurial and international adventurous spirit to better succeed inthe new frontier of a globalized environment1.History and Evolution of Capstone CoursesIn the early 1990’s there was mounting pressure from industrial and educational leaders to makesignificant changes to the engineering curriculum to better prepare engineers for leadership whileproviding real-world experience1. This was a result of industry feeling that engineeringgraduates were inadequately prepared for the practice of engineering. Response from thesepioneers developed what has become known as capstone courses or programs. These programsbrought open ended design problems and often industrially

For example, our colleague WeiWang in the preceding scenario is not simply the individual person Wei Wang. Instead, Wei is aplant manager who supervises eight engineers, he is his parent’s son, he is your colleague, etc.In line with this conception, Wei likely gives a great deal of consideration regarding hisrelationships with his employees. Focused on interpersonal relationships, it is likely that Wei willbe very hesitant to say anything negative about the engineers he supervises, as doing so couldpotentially have detrimental effects on their lives and careers. Furthermore, writing down hisopinions and ratings of the engineers in an e-mail could

For example, Astin4 showed that students who tend to be more engaged are morelikely to persist; further, well over half of the variation between institutions on a measure of“student engagement” can be attributed to characteristics present prior to entering college.Fostering a spirit of engagement in students who may not show that propensity may increasestudents’ chances for success, and intervention program(s) designed to increase studentengagement are certainly feasible from an institution during the first year of study.
