A study of graduation rates at nine southeastern universities by Borrego, Padilla,Zhang, Ohland, and Anderson (2005), found that one’s gender is also predictive of successfulcompletion of an engineering degree, where females left engineering at higher rates than males.More recently, Zahorian, Elmore, and Temkin (2013) examined factors that influenced students’selection of engineering major. They found class lectures, labs and projects in required ExploringEngineering and Engineering Design courses intended to expose the students to all options ofengineering major were less significant factors in major selection than

The rest of student grade consists of laboratory assignments (5%), classengagement (5%), and a final project (15%). The chemical engineering course is a core courserequired for all students in the chemical engineering program, and taken strictly in the fall of thethird year as a co-requisite to physical chemistry and a pre-requisite to unit operations.In both courses, gaining proficiency with specific applications of the software used (GMAT forthe aerospace engineering course, and HYSYS for the chemical engineering course) are historiclearning objectives.

These systems provide content, grading and assessment ofstudent work, and feedback to students while solving problems. Previous research has shownthat students’ value both online and handwritten homework. Even students who disliked onlinehomework found it to be at least somewhat helpful. The current project investigates ifperformance on higher stake (e.g., more heavily weighted in overall grade) activities is betterthan on lower stake activities in a Dynamics class and a General Physics I class.

mechanism for ensuring course consistency was the course andsubordinate lesson objectives, as approved by the department program director. In all cases, theseobjectives were not altered, either to increase or reduce content.Using lesson objectives as the guiding parameter, lesson restructuring followed a generallyconsistent pattern. First, any lessons under the 40 class format that were “drop periods” (used toprovide students with compensatory time) were eliminated from the schedule. Additionally,lessons used as working group sessions for larger projects and laboratories were rolled intoadjacent lessons that presented new material. It should be noted that this action reduced workinggroup session time from 55 minutes to a shortened period as allowed

After the surveys werecompleted and the responses were reviewed, the researcher noticed that several participants hadeither failed to identify their major or were in a non-engineering major. There were twenty-fourparticipants in twelve non-engineering majors that were deleted including project management,agricultural science, and criminal justice. There were seventeen participants who were deletedbecause they did not identify any major. This brought the number of participants down from 416to 375 for statistical analysis.The participants attended high school in twenty-four states, as well as, in foreign countries.

the best fit to our students. Learning aspecific RTOS has the benefit of being able to utilize it immediately for projects. Nonetheless,the fast development and updates on the area of RTOS may cause the knowledge learned fromone specific RTOS outdated in some time and not applicable to another RTOS.Traditionally, teaching and learning RTOS are implemented in the following ways. First, weteach the students the design principles of RTOS and show them a ready-to use commercialRTOS. We call this a “top-down” approach. The benefit is that students will be able toimmediately deploy that specific RTOS [1]. However, without a thorough understanding of whyand how tasks are created and managed by the RTOS, students lack the skill set to pick up a

A water treatment systemfor a remote village may be highly effective, but if it cannot be operated or maintained by thepeople whom it is supposed to help, it is of no real use. In the same way, latrines that generatebiogas for people to use as cooking fuel may sound like a good idea, but if they are equippedonly with western-style toilets they may not be culturally acceptable and the whole project willfail.
