subscribe to this ideology value a programmed curriculum, and the psychology underpinning it to be found in behavioural psychology, as for example that of B. F. Skinner. In engineering education it can be seen in the systems of mastery learning and personalised instruction that were experimented with in the 1960’s and 1970’s [18; [19]; [20]. While behavioural psychology was replaced by cognitive psychology it is relevant to note that there are many politicians and administrators who believe that computer assisted learning might come to be used to replace lectures which are considered to be conveyors of the same knowledge that is to be sound in textbooks. Evaluation is very important to those who hold this ideology. There are
national commu- nity, Dr. Peeples has made an impact on improving the STEM pipeline through personal commitment, local partnerships, institutional leadership and effective collaboration. Dr. Peeples has mentored a di- verse group of high school, undergraduate and graduate students including three high school students, 64 undergraduate and 13 graduate students, and three postdoctoral fellows in her biochemical engineering laboratories. Five of her current and former doctoral students are underrepresented minority students who are also U. S. citizens, and four are U.S. women. Several of her graduate and undergraduate student re- searchers have won local, regional and national awards for their work. As the first Associate

The introduction of individuals into the industry that are moreinclined to act collaboratively could act as a catalyst for change.Purpose of the StudyGender diversity has been connected to increased profits across multiple industries.8 Thesefindings have led to the creation of the value-in-diversity perspective, which contends that adiverse workforce has a distinct benefit to business.8 However, these benefits are not limited toincreased earnings.8 For example, there is evidence that the inclusion of women in CM maydecrease conflict and increase collaboration. Brahnam, et al.’s study suggests that women maypossess more effective conflict resolution attributes than their male

On the other hand, students gained substantially simply by taking the class, so the benefitsof the app on its own are not clear.Another direction for further research should focus on additional development of the app.Possibilities include adaptive presentation of lessons based on student progress, further use ofgamification to enhance motivation and engagement, and building assessment into the app itself.References[1] S.

Furthermore, using thisprofile analysis allowed for new patterns to emerge that would have been previouslyoverlooked. For example, if two groups of respondents were distinct from each other in theattitudinal map but were similar along all measured axes of diversity (e.g., gender andrace/ethnicity), it is a signal that the separation between the groups is the result of anintersection with some unconsidered dimension(s) of attitudes or personal characteristics.Because TDA does not presuppose the qualitative or demographic information about thestudents it analyzes, the

the general instructional objectives of thefreshman course.The project was titled “Introduction to Big Data Analytics: Analyzing Tweets with Matlab”. Theinstructor provided the students with a Matlab code that was designed to facilitate applyingSentiment Analysis to tweets. For example, the code can be used to (1) identify tweets thatcontain one or more specific keywords and (2) create a histogram of words used in these tweets,in order to identify recurring themes in tweets that mention the keyword(s). The final deliverablefor the project was a report in which students detailed how they used the Matlab code to answer anumber of open-ended questions, as well as an introductory section in which students discussedthe importance and applications

Students hear from senior graduate students on the challenges, opportunities, andsupport throughout grad studies. Additional topics of discussion include: 1) how to keep a happyand healthy life style, 2) where to get help? and 3) what are the opportunities for leadership orscholarship? The discussions are conducted in round table groups to provide an open format.The second workshop focuses on the supervisory relationship. This workshop is designed toteach students on their responsibilities as graduate students, and to give them a toolkit to build asuccessful relationship with their supervisor(s)/academic
