The paper also assesses specific character and professional attributes, stereotypes(profession-, ethnicity or gender-based) and attributes known to facilitate viewer's identificationwith on-screen characters, of engineering professionals portrayed in selected films. In particular,the key research question of “How are engineer(s) and their work portrayed in the feature films?”was broken down to more detailed sub-questions: • What types of engineering work are represented? How is creative component of that work shown? How successful (or unsuccessful) are the outcomes? • Is the distinction between science and technology, and scientist and engineers depicted? • Are

These core courses are selected so as to reflect the first twoyears of a four- year engineering program. While this model is certainly reasonable, it does havesome major weaknesses. Many engineering schools have engineering programs in classic areassuch as civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering with a number of courses, inmathematics and science, in common. However, the first two years of an engineering programcan have subtle but significant differences in course requirements that are specific to that major.If the new transfer student stays on track with their initial choice for a major, there is no problem.But, should the

Despite these studies, there is still scarce information available exploringthe epistemological development of graduate-level engineering Chinese students.

Usually, the unit thatconsists of the wireless radio and the on-board processor is called a mote. With the recentadvances in MEMS technology, wireless communications, and digital electronics, the design anddevelopment of low-cost, low power, multifunctional sensor nodes that are small in size andcommunicate untethered in short distances have become feasible. The ever-increasingcapabilities of these tiny sensor nodes, which include sensing, data processing, andcommunicating, enable the realization of wireless
