to be an important part of the life and activity of the class”. This definitionpresents SB as a unidimensional construct, which can be measured as a general SB.Alternatively, Freeman et al. [3] view SB as a multidimensional construct encompassing classbelonging, university belonging, professors’ pedagogical caring, and social acceptance,suggesting that measuring SB should be approached by asking questions that correspond to eachof these dimensions. Given the diversity of conceptual definitions of SB, it is reasonable toanticipate the presence of multiple measurement instruments for this construct. For example,Goodenow’s Psychological Sense of School Membership [PSSM] was created to measure ageneral SB, while William et al.’s Higher Education

It can be observed that enrollments are larger for the traditionally “on-sequence”courses of Calculus I and Calculus III during the fall semesters and for Calculus II in the springsemesters.

It is estimated that, by the year 2020, over 5 million post9/11 service members will have transitioned out of the U. S. Armed Forces.

Year Summer Experience (FYSE) program is a three-week residential summerorientation program focused on the development and strengthening of math-intensiveengineering problem solving skills. All new students offered admission to the School ofEngineering and students who applied to engineering but were instead admitted to the Divisionof Letters and Sciences (L&S) were invited to participate in the program. Recruitment andselection of participants is geared toward inclusion of women, racial/ethnic minorities, first-generation college students, and engineering admits with relatively weak mathematicspreparation. Approximately 40-60 first-year students participate in the program each summer.The participants are required to live in the provided

The reason was that programming at the bit level could be cumbersome and it took thestudents a long time to set hardware configurations, timers, interrupts, etc. There was asignificant amount of code and hardware preparation just to get the robot going. Therefore in2009, the controller was changed to the Robotics Connection Serializer that could beprogrammed with Visual C# using MSRS services54, 55. This format was actually moreappropriate because it moved the focus from components to higher level functions and behaviors.The object oriented programming in an IDE afforded the creation of a GUI to make it possible tovisualize the framework of the student‟s work.

those feelings are actually enacted in teaching. Page 22.757.3Teacher AutonomyAutonomy is directly related to motivation 10, 11. Autonomy is when a person‟s “actions arefreely chosen and experienced as emanating from oneself” 12. While research on autonomy ineducation originally focuses on students, more recent research has shown the importance ofteachers‟ sense of autonomy. Pelletier et al. 13 found that teachers‟ perceptions of constraints inthe teaching environment as well as of their students‟ self determination influenced the teachers‟self determination, which finally lead to whether or not the teachers supported their students‟autonomy
in going to college, and taking college-level mathematicscourses(Congressional Commission on the Advancement of Women and Minorities in ScienceEngineering and Technology Development, 2000). This contrast heralds that students do notunderstand the importance of, and requirements for, taking rigorous mathematics and sciencecourses in high school, pointing to the importance of encouraging exploration of a wide array ofcareer trajectories so that students do not inadvertently build roadblocks to certaincareers(Rudasill & Callahan, 2010; White Paper prepared for U. S. Secretary of EducationRichard W. Riley, 1997). Given this, it is imperative for counselors to be prepared to counselstudents about careers and how to prepare for these careers
stages.Fortunately, both ABET and ATMAE accreditation procedures are amenable tonew/innovative programs, although the former’s requirement for the existence ofprogram graduates defers its accreditation decision until this requirement can bedemonstrated. Given that the ATMAE’s process does not have this requirement, theadvantage to the department is that there will not be a period during which any newprogram(s) might not be accredited.Based on the experience of the past years, it seems appropriate to recommend thatcolleagues considering multiple accreditations do pursue that path despite the resourcedemands in terms of faculty time, technology and money for professional development.However, the advantages of increased purposeful and collective reflection

standards are popular in the engineering andtechnological communities. Because English units system is used in training the vast majority ofour engineers, technologists, and technicians, they are probably ill equipped for the global stagewhere the SI units system is the measurement language of trade and science. For instance, whencompanies from different countries work on the same technical project(s), the use of a commonunit of measure is necessary. Since the SI units system is international, this is often the preferredchoice. According to Euler [5], all new USA standards (ASTM, ANSI, SAE, IEEE, ASME, etc.)are now written in metric.

We verified the eJ entries by cross-referencing them against the design artifacts, otherverified entries, and additional qualitative data. Out of 212 entries, 83.02% were verified, where130 entries belonged to the BE groups and 46 entries belonged to MAE groups. The next stepswere segmenting and coding the verified entries based on Dym and Little’s design phases, designactivities, and project management aspects [15]. For this step, we used Table 1 and 2 as codingtables. The segmenting and coding processes were conducted independently for three

This study seeks to address the gap in knowledge about graduate-level creativitythrough a thematic analysis of five semi-structured interviews with engineering graduatestudents. These interviews are part of a larger mixed-methods research project with the goal ofcharacterizing the creative climate of graduate-level engineering education. In the interviews, weasked participants about their creative endeavors, how they define creativity, and theirperceptions of creativity within engineering.
