(STEBI) wasdesigned to measure two constructs, outcome expectancy and self-efficacy. The two constructswere based on Bandura’s theoretical framework that behaviors are effected by both personalexpectancy about the outcome and personal belief about teaching. The specific content area ofteaching, which is science, was to reflect the fact that teacher self-efficacy can vary dependingon the content area. For example, while some teachers have high self-efficacy in teachinglanguage arts, they may not have the same level of self-efficacy in teaching science.Since the first development of the STEBI, with its increasing use in science education, severalvariants of the STEBI were also developed and tested in the specific content areas, targetingdifferent

However, because differences incultures and individuals may always exist, an international code of ethics must be general andshould not be expected to reflect the complete ethical perspectives of even one society9.It is now widely recognized that engineering ethics education, traditionally based on individualautonomy and philosophical moral theory, may be insufficient for today’s students9. Studentsshould now be equipped with the ability and desire to not only recognize ethical dilemmas in theengineering environment, but also recognize the impact of the changing environment onengineering ethics.

First, PLTW in Iowa tends toattract white males and students who have higher achievement in mathematics and science injunior high. The percentages of women who enter PLTW are approximately the same percentagethat enters mechanical and electrical engineering programs (Walcerz, 2006). Overall, theselection bias was rather significant, with participants scoring between 0.72 and 0.9 standarddeviations higher on mathematics and science scores prior to entering PLTW. We stronglysuggest that future research on PLTW needs to reflect selection bias in their analysis of theprogram. We controlled for selection bias using propensity score matching that predicted entry

They reflect on what they see and what has been discussed regarding the components of a work of art the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. They consider other information such as how colors have symbolic meaning as well as have psychological effects on individuals.

Themetal lathe was selected for this study because of its multipurpose nature and the capability ofthe unit to provide hand-on experiences in a variety of manufacturing applications, e.g. milling,drilling, and grinding.Historical PerspectiveThe Industrial education roots can be traced to ancient times where a need existed to educateworkers in the performance of various tasks essential for work.

. But if they forget the units or include inconsistent units, they lose some of these points. The final stepto successfully completing an engineering calculation is to “reflect” on the answer to be sure it makes sense.(“The cup of coffee has a mass of 247.38 kg, because that is what my calculator shows.”) I have triedunsuccessfully to incorporate that step as part of this final 30% by offering 5% if they write “ok” beside theiranswer to demonstrate they have completed this final reflection step. Some students thought they deserved thepoints because they had written “ok” without showing any work. I think they missed the purpose of the points.I do try to provide feedback directly on the test to show the student where they went astray. Sometimes a

Thus, when writing your report, make sure that it is clearly different from reports of others and reflects your own thoughts for solving the problems. Reports that are virtually identical to others will not receive credit.In project 1, students are asked to use their knowledge of solving first-order ordinary differentialequations to tackle basic ideas in rocket science through the examination of the Jules Vernecatapult idea and single-stage rockets.

The results in Table 1 suggests thathaving performed the AM iLab experiment using interface A, users had a better understanding ofwhat amplitude modulation entails.

Overall, these results support the notionthat abstract representations foster learning through allowing learners to focus on the underlyingstructure of the problem at hand, rather than the superficial elements of each individual problem.Thus, these learners do not observe worked-example problems considering, for example, abattery and a light bulb, rather noting that any type of voltage source and any type of electricaldevice could be present.

From this, the initial listing of 13 course outcomes was reduced to 11 course outcomes,as is shown in Figure 5. These outcomes reflected an increased emphasis on the practicesnecessary for software engineering and a slight de-emphasis on the specific object-orientedanalysis and object-oriented design techniques from the initial offering. An increased emphasison the verification of software was added, as well as outcomes related to effectivecommunications. Based on feedback from the final offering of CS489, it was also felt that astrong emphasis in the area of requirements review and development was necessary. Catalog Description: This course

Certain aspects of security appeal to practitioners, certain aspects appeal toComputer Scientists, and certain aspects apply MIS personnel.In order to provide a holistic view of computer security, software engineering students need tohave exposure to all three aspects. Thus, for software engineering students, a single course insecurity can be inadequate. To combat this problem, the Milwaukee School of Engineering hasdeveloped a three course sequence in software security targeting the multi-disciplinary problemof security. While each of the three courses addresses software security, each course targets adifferent aspect
