The thing that impressed me most today was how poor my grammer [sic] and editing skills are. I think the biggest challenge for me in writing for CE will be to ignore the temptation to sound fancy and smart. The information that made the biggest impression on me was how P.E.’s make use of I, you, we in their writings. I realized I make the same mistakes that other people do.

The first step to this research wasaccomplished. We think we achieved some improvement in teaching decision analysis. Thefocus of the next step of our research is to evaluate the students’ calculations in order to evaluatehow the students performed in conjunction with how they though the performed.References 1.

subjects, which is arguably agood response; but when asked to specify her answer, she relays the traditional subjectsassociated with engineers. We believe K-12 engineering education has the chance to properlyeducate pre-college students on what engineers do, as well as, expand students’ understanding ofthe skills that qualify a good engineer. Five of the six participants knew practicing engineers (e.g. parent, grandparent, uncle,cousin). However, they could say very little about what the engineer(s) did at work. For example,when we asked one participant if he knew what his Chemical engineer parents did at work heonly offered a general response: I: Oh I’m sorry Um do you know what your parents do at work as engineers?
