I have also been like Zara… The first stuff was easy like ‘okay sig. figs (significant figures) cool’ and then it got to adding in work, heat, dew point, and other such things and I just got really confused… So, I drew a picture of a lecture hall format, with a couple people in it and, like some of the people are saying ‘I don't understand’ and then some of the people are saying ‘I understand, I'm totally going to ace this exam.’ I feel in this class there's people who understand and

In a sense and based on roughestimation and initial findings, the concepts that generally garnered the lowest scores are: ● The role of time constant in first-order circuit operations. (Concept Group D) ● The behavior of reactive elements in terms of power delivery and dissipation in an AC-source circuit. (Concept Groups B and G)Interestingly, these significant concepts are also considered difficult based on the findings from aprevious study [12] wherein students responded to survey questions about electric circuit conceptsand then ranked them based on their perceived importance and level of understanding.

the risk of bodily injury. During this course, emphasis was placed on developing theability to choose the correct tooling that is required to complete a part in the most efficient andprecise manner. The material selected to build thrust stand was 80/20 because it is designed to belight, sturdy, and easily implemented. However, machining was necessary to make the parts forthe stand. This was achieved with the use of two machines (Bridgeport vertical mill and Jet Toolshorizontal bandsaw). The proper usage of those machines was also covered in the class. Introduction to electrical engineering (ECE 2001) covered DC circuits and analysis methodssuch as mesh analysis, node analysis, and circuit reduction methods. AC circuits were alsoexplored

Mentoring by non-familyconstruction professionals has also been recommended as an effective recruitment tool [2 and 4], howeverresearch revealed that this type of mentoring has a small impact on individuals in under-representedgroups to decide to enter the industry [5]. Despite this, many schools and associations have createdprograms (e.g., the Architecture, Construction, Engineering [ACE] mentoring program) aimed to increasewomen’s interest and participation in construction degree programs [6].Others assert that colleges and universities have not made enough of an effort to recruit women, despitetheir acknowledgement of the need to increase minority enrollment to meet industry demands [2 and 7].In their study of schools with construction
