It gives assurancethat the findings reflect accurate measures and that the results are trustworthy. Test reliability furtherindicates the extent to which individual differences in scores can be attributed to ‘true’ differences. Weused the most popular measure - Cronbach Alpha for assessing reliability of the collected data. Table 2shows the Alpha values, calculated using Minitab Version 16, for the data collected for each of thesubsets. TABLE 2: CRONBACH ALPHA VALUE FOR THE INSTRUMENT Subsets

institutions abroad. In 1996,the Bradley University’s International Program was limited to the summer months. Theinvolvement of engineering students and faculty was extremely limited for at least two reasons.First, many course offerings were for language studies or general education. A more importantreason was that most engineering students preferred or were obligated to work during thesummer months. Summer employment was important to gain experience and for financialreasons as Bradley is a private institution. Yet faculty and students could benefit greatly frominternational exposure. More importantly, the internationalization program inspired the facultyto modify the curriculum to better reflect the changing realities of our engineering

Collaborative learning, for the purpose of this paper will mirror those of Göl and Nafalskias written in their award winning paper “Collaborative Learning in Engineering Education”;“Collaborative learning is increasingly recognised as giving students an opportunity to engage indiscussion and to exercise a positive influence on the group’s learning outcomes by assumingresponsibility for their own learning. Critical thinking and reflective evaluation are implicit in theapproach.”3 While many tout the advantages of collaborative learning: “Results

As the College is located in a county with someeconomically depressed areas, the desire was also to attract students from disadvantagedbackgrounds and introduce them to engineering.

Several lessons were learned in theFall Quarter that will be incorporated into the Winter Quarter classes. The primary conclusionwas that we tried to include too much content and that more time needed to be spent on buildingconfiguration issues. This will be addressed in several ways. The calculational content of thecourse will be reduced, somewhat. The intent is to make it more focused and to apply moredirectly to the configuration issues. The Winter Quarter classes will also be reorganizedsomewhat. The Fall Quarter courses were organized into small building and large buildingmodules, reflecting the two original courses

It starts by matching classes andthen proceeds to matching associations, attributes, and methods. This reflects the nounidentification technique for constructing models. More specifically, it applies the following rules: • Classes are matched by name. The entire name must be matched exactly, though spaces, underscores, and capitalization are ignored. Requiring an exact name match helps catch the common error of using a plural noun when the class represents a singular item. To allow some variation in naming, the instructor can specify alternative

This part of the project sought to build a cross-UT System ecosystem forinnovation and entrepreneurship, which proved to be more difficult than anticipated. Theprincipal stumbling block is that processes and offices for technology transfer and businessincubation differ markedly across campuses, even across the four campuses of the UT-TRANSFORM partners. While these differences likely reflect local priorities and history, theydetract from providing UT System innovators a clear and consistent path for commercialdevelopment of their ideas.
