so that additional requests for retention data for newcategories or subcategories could be calculated in minutes. An undergraduate computer sciencemajor was hired at $10 per hour and spent about 25 hours working on developing the program.The hours include the time the student needed to learn the basics of Python.Python was chosen since a student group as part of a class project had recently used thislanguage to create what was called a “deficiency” report. This project allowed for reports onstudents who, for example, failed courses more than the allowed amount, or had a low grade pointaverage for too many semesters in a row, etc. Python is relatively easy to learn, and it is veryreadable so it is easy to maintain the program.

. This age is estimated to be about 13.7 × 109 years = 13.7billion years. According to the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe project of NASA, theestimated age of the universe is between 13.5 and 13.9 billion years. Thus to obtain the optimalglobal minimal path for a TSP of only 26 cities, the fastest available computer of 2006 wouldneed about 5 × 1017 years compared to which even the estimated age of the universe is anumerical zero. Even if a TSP solution is given, its verification is also intractable. This isbecause the TSP is an NP (nondeterministic polynomial time)-hard problem. Designing apolynomial-time deterministic algorithm for a TSP is and has been an open problem forcenturies. We, therefore, attempt to solve a symmetric TSP by

Howeverthe report questions this approach, defining the value of practical work early in the curriculum:“Practical engineering work is essential for the freshman not only because it appeals to hisprofessional ambition, arouses his enthusiasm, and gives him training in practice, but alsobecause it helps him to master the theoretical work more fully and more quickly.” (p. 88).Despite the emphasis on practice, engineering programs are distinguished from the moreapprentice-based model of medicine and law by their academic character: “In engineering, onthe other

Whether these aremore important than technical expertise may be debated—the best approach to teamwork maynot solve the problem if no one on the team has the requisite knowledge and experience—butperhaps the two can be seen on an equal footing as necessary-but-not-sufficient conditions forsuccessful engineering design.Lee, in a paper presented at the ASEE Southeast Section Conference in 2002 [6], pulls nopunches when it comes to stating the role of an understanding of philosophy of science inbattling junk science, or fraud, as part of engineers’ responsibility to

In Harmony’s case, being asked to misrepresent who owns the fabrication shopwhere a client’s components would be manufactured was an obvious step too far. In response toher leader’s request, she explained, “I immediately took him aside and I said, ‘You’re going tocome up with a reason why the client is going to see somebody else’s name on the gate becauseI’m not!’” Justine shared a similar case about dishonesty in which she faced pressure to share anunrealistic project schedule, stating, “I’m literally being asked to lie to them.

We note the difference in the confidence levels, knowledge, and interest in a career inentrepreneurial pathways, between participants like Penny, Gustavo, and Cesar on the one hand,and Ron and Brad on the other. We view this difference as a form of cultural capital, whereformal and informal knowledge of how a particular pathway works is a piece of acculturationthat allows access to that pathway. In this case, acculturation and confidence also seemconnected to traditional forms of privilege, where
