-persisters. The gender-based analysis showed that non-persisting femalestudents have higher mathematics scores compared to persisters. Moreover, female leavers didnot have the same low grades as male leavers. These results suggest that female students havethe academic ability to complete an engineering degree, but not the interest7.Mendez et al.'s research showed that gender is not an important factor in persistence. Theiranalysis showed that rates of persistence are similar within subgroups of the data defined bycumulative GPA and number of STEM courses taken. In other words, once women decide tomajor in a STEM field, they persist at the same rate as men14.II.b. Internalization and Perceptions of Major and CareerStudents are affected in varying

challenge students to apply the information taught through modeling a system, analyzingit, and presenting a solution(s) complete with units and an interpretation of the physicalphenomena examined. Given that time is a premium in the academy and project creation is atime consumer, three original projects, which may be injected into any Calculus III, DifferentialEquations, or Engineering Mathematics course, have been created. The aim is to increase the useof projects in courses where the intent is there but creation time is the mitigating factor. Thispaper includes projects that tackle first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs), second-order ODEs, and multivariable calculus.IntroductionIn some mathematics courses, students are asked to

coverage of these important broader considerations, andthus to provide opportunities for broader ways of thinking in engineering education. Commonapproaches to teaching engineering design incorporate some of these ways through project-basedlearning, which finds instantiation in senior capstone design projects [6, 7], first-year cornerstonedesign projects [7], and service learning [7, 8]. Closely related, the Aalborg problem-based learning(PBL) model also focuses on contextualizing learning and problem-solving [9]. Litzinger et al.’s[10] discussion of expertise and engineering education emphasizes the importance of the “context-rich, multifaceted problems” commonly embedded in all of these approaches.Empirical research on engineering design

In 2005, the Design Council19 conducted a large-scalestudy of the design process in eleven different companies and created a general description of theprocess. Furthermore, the design process was demonstrated by IDEO, a design and innovationconsulting firm, for the ABC news show Nightline in a story that aired on July 13, 1999.

MBTI includes four categories of how anindividual processes and evaluates information.29 The first category describes how a personinteracts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energy frominteractions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer more of arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how a personprocesses information.

collected to confirm that biotin-FITC could be bound to streptavidincoated 96-well plates. Data plotted on a fluorescence vs. log of concentration graph show thetypical S-shaped curve for adsorbed species with a minimum detection limit of 50 μM and max-imum value of 5 mM of Biotin-FITC. The next experiment was to determine if the biotin-inhibitor could capture the DAPI-LNCaPs on the coated plastic surfaces. DAPI or 4’6-diamidino-2-phenylindole is a fluorescent stain that binds strongly to A-T rich regions in DNAthat excites at 358 nm and emits at 461 nm. Preliminary results suggest when more PCTCs are insuspension there is indeed a higher fluorescence intensity than less concentrated suspensions andboth high and low suspension concentrations result
