head of the family who controls a woman’seducation, mobility, labor participation, reproduction, and sexuality.31 A family considers thesons’ role as staying home to provide for the family, whereas girls are expected to leave homeafter marriage. Consequently, women receive less financial support and encouragement forhigher education than their male siblings. Even teachers have greater expectations in theeducation of male than female students. Because of their gender, female students face curfews attheir hostels and at home. As a result, female students are unable to stay in laboratories longer tocomplete group projects and network with male peers. During job placements on campus, it iscommon for employers to ask whether female students have

Each program/institution has to develop its own methodology orprocess8,9,10 for meeting the ABET requirements based on the resources available at its disposal.Successful ABET accreditation of an institution of higher learning requires several years of priorplanning and preparation11. It must have a strong up-to-date curriculum that meets internationalstandards, qualified faculty and staff in sufficient numbers, teaching and laboratory facilities, andstrong institutional support. It must also put in place a clear, well-defined, and implementableprocess for assessment and evaluation of
Santander, in Colombia. 30 groups of studentswere built-on. There was at least 1 student from each one of the 4 different courses integrated inthis project. These courses were: Managerial Issues I and II, Entrepreneurship and Human Resources.They were all exposed to our proposed model: a learning exercise based on challenges, by meansof which they had to propose a solution to a real problem involving technical competences of thecareer, as well as non-technical ones. The research has being conducted by 4 teachers of the engineering program, and the project lasted12 months. The GALEA laboratory was the origin of this proposal, as GALEA promotes teaching andlearning experiences based on alternative methods such as project based learning and

The architecture is modelled in VHDL and can be simulated usingXilinx design tools to demonstrate operation of the processor. A basic microcontroller is thencreated by adding memory-mapped input/output (I/O). The system can be synthesized andimplemented in hardware on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The goal of this projectwas to add serial communication capabilities to the Instructional Processor via software andhardware. The enhanced microcontroller can then be

Think about the time you spend in class and out of class, like working or studying. Howwould you say the two balance out?ResultsStudying vs. Completing AssignmentsStudents divided the idea of studying into two categories. The first was completion ofassignments, ranging from homework assignments to laboratory reports. The second wasstudying for the purpose of understanding the knowledge discussed in class in order to be readyfor tests and examinations.Some of the students’ comments give a sense of how the idea of completing an assignment is notnecessarily considered ‘studying’: “[In] my Math class, I

processes are thetwo refined categories for composite manufacturing. The common method is usually implement-ed in laboratory practice as manually hand-laid composites [12-17]. During the manufacturing and machining, such as curing, cutting, trimming, drilling,transportation, fastening, and assembling processes of composites, some surface damages andfree edges are formed around the composites, which may cause premature failures and lower theservice life [1]. This study addresses some of the surface damages and free-edges of fiber rein-forced carbon fiber composites using specific adhesives and fabrication techniques.2.

This causes a significant difference in the incomingstudent’s ability and self confidence related to this course.Teaching and Learning PhilosophyCentral to the teaching and learning philosophy of this course was that a significant componentof the course would be learned and experienced through computer laboratory sessions. With thisin mind, the typically 12-week duration course was set to have 1.5 hours per week of lecturesand 3 hours per week of computer lab sessions. The lectures would be undertaken in a singlesection and would typically have an enrolment of approximately 100 students. Each of the labswould have a maximum size of 45 students, typically requiring three lab sections, which
