; “ Engineering in the ModernWorld” at Princeton, which is also team-taught and does incorporate both papers and problemsets, may be the only even remote predecessor).The challenge in creating the laboratory component was to identify the readily availableinfrastructure and human expertise at UC-Merced around which one could build hands-onactivities. The combination of experts in the geo-chemistry and physics of clays and thepresence of a kiln on campus led Vardalas to the design of a series of labs around the role ofbricks in the Roman Empire. After a brief lecture on clay soils and the role of heat intransforming clay materials, we asked the students to identify and dig up the best availablematerials for bricks. To help them prospect for the brick

, graduation dates are delayed based on revisedprogram of study. Not being on the same campus two years in a row creates a major difficulty torepeat the failed courses. The revisions of the schedules for these out-of-synch students arehandled on a case by case basis and require close coordination between the two campuses todevelop a feasible program of study with minimum impact on timely graduation.Student SurveysA survey targeting various aspects of the dual diploma program is given to the students whograduated since 2011 at SIUE. The survey asked 29 questions on dual diploma program serviceand academics aspects, as well as general questions about SIUE. The students are also asked togive their opinions about the importance of the issues addressed in

women engineers’ perceptions and experiences has yieldedvaluable data that naturally calls for analyses involving: (a) examinations of, and, (b) points ofcomparison with the dominant male experience with tertiary education and professionalization inengineering disciplines. Yet, few recent studies have examined or sought to generate data withthe objective of providing points of comparison between male and female engineers’ mentoringand career socialization discourses or focused analyses of male engineers’ discourses. We reporton results from the second leg of a two-part research study designed to address this gap incomparative gender analyses of mentoring and career socialization discourses. The presentanalysis is motivated in part by results
