Even with this in mind, it is surmised that response rate was wellbelow 10 percent. This leads to the possibility that those who volunteered to completeVECTERS may be a skewed sample of individuals who are perhaps interested in engineeringeducation.VECTERS includes a mix of both positive and negative statements. Therefore, data receivedfrom the respondents were adjusted so that all values among the 78 items were aligned. That is,data from negatively worded value and expectancy items were adjusted so that a 4 on the 1 to 4scales indicated perception of high value or high expectancy
his gifted way of teaching and making others feel confident that they can do anything they set their minds to. His passion for teaching led him to an incredible opportunity with one of his professors, Christopher Papadopoulos. On January 2013, Perez became an Engineering Mechanics: Statics Teaching Assistant at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus. Working with his fellows students helped him learn new and better ways for students to grasp the knowledge he was trying to share. Shortly after, he was given the oppor- tunity to explore aspects of another one of his passions, engineering. On December 2013, Perez became a Manufacturing Co-op at Johnson and Johnson: Neutrogena in Los Angeles, California. The
