The requirements of the student’s major program, of course, varydepending on the particular major. For example, the CSE major consists of required and electivecourses in a range of topics from software design principles and practices to algorithms, fromcomputer systems and architectures to computer networking, from AI to computer graphics andvideo game design; and a culminating capstone project course which may, for example, consist ofdesigning and implementing a set of web services to meet the requirements of a real client.The entrepreneurship minor, offered in the business school, specialized for

. Following the recommendation ofprevious mentors and that found in engineering education literature1, this course focused in-classactivities, lectures and assignments on a limited number of core transportation topics.The course met for three 50-minute periods each week. These class periods were used tointroduce topics, cover material through lecture, activities, discussions and homework review.The classroom portion of the class was operated to provide the students with an active/participatory learning environment.The course was loosely structured for 1,000-points possible: 371-points for homework andquizzes, 100-points each for the WebCT discussions, in-class discussions and final exam, 350-points for a semester long research project, 50-point team

The control group is a major focused on engineering mechanics, which has atheoretical orientation that focuses on mathematical modeling based on first principles and haslittle formal design education prior to the capstone experience. The experimental group is amechanical engineering major that uses design as a context for its curriculum. In order to providea uniform basis for comparing students across projects and years, the authors use a task-independent protocol analysis method grounded in the Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS)design ontology.

Many instructors who design new laboratory-based and project-basedinstruction to boost motivation find that these efforts are often greeted by apathy or resistancefrom the students. This situation is further exacerbated by curriculum (re)design efforts whichemphasize the presentation and transmission of course material rather than everyday teachingdecisions that motivate, or demotivate, the students to learn the material3. Based on the premise that educational psychology must inform the practice of teaching4,this primer first presents and synthesizes a selection of recent theories of motivation.

Typically, these consequences are negative, “unpleasantly ratherthan pleasantly surprising,” as Edward Tenner suggests,2 ranging from the trivial andinconvenient (Wii addicts who accidentally throw their remotes through television screens due tosweaty hands) to the potentially life-threatening (the arms race that ensued from the ManhattanProject). Because they are unpredictable, unintended consequences naturally flow from virtuallyevery invention, action, and decision that we make.3This paper examines the phenomenon of unintended consequences, focusing on definitions,types, a case study, contemporary examples, and offers pedagogical suggestions for exploring

So you have to find someother way on your own to fund it and work on it your own time. So it's basically your own littlecareer. So it's beneficial when it's something that you really want to do, but no one else wantsyou to do it.

Much of the existing research on thisunderrepresentation relies on “chilly climate” and “pipeline” theoretical models to explain thisphenomenon. However, the extent to which these models follow women’s actual careerpathways has been undertheorized.
