community college experience did notadequately prepare them for the rigor and pace in the engineering curriculum.Some of these issues can be addressed by better advising. Hence we have identified a specificadvisor in each department to deal with all the transfer students; these advisors are also betterequipped to handle personal/family problems. Other issues are addressed in the successseminar so transfer students are more aware of university procedures and resources. We haverecommended that all transfer students be offered the opportunity to take the seminar.We are also working with area community colleges to address these issues. These schools canprovide orientation session(s) for students transferring to 4-year schools. Community collegefaculty

Why? 3. How would you (the student) go about seeking a job in this particular field of engineering practice?Each question, at first glance, seems to point to a specific answer or set of answers, and thusseems “closed.” But upon further reflection, the second part of the question made them open-ended. The freshmen would have to understand potential classes and experiences to understandhow they would be useful in a future career environment. For freshmen, this was a dauntingchallenge. They were marginally familiar with the curriculum, but

Compared to traditional textbookproblems, understanding a real problem is more time consuming and requires more inquiry anddiscovery by the students. Real problems also require more independence, initiative andpatience on the part of the problem solver(s). Real world problems are not strongly disciplinaryin the traditional sense and require the integration of several skills that students acquire in theirprogram of study. Moreover, understanding the context and

Kruskal-Wallistests identified areas where impact either changed or remained stable over time. Findings providea unique perspective on the long-term impacts of project-based learning.IntroductionThis paper provides an overview of an evaluation study of the impact of formal project work forstudents who graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in science and engineeringmajors between 1974 and 2011.

Observe how students respond to the assignment and determine to what extent they perceive educational benefit(s) toward developing their engineering communication skills. 2. Reveal emergent issues and how to fix them. 3. Observe the students’ reaction to the supplied topic for their assigned report documents and determine to what extent the students view a turn-key, macroscopic

When a modest uncertainty of 0.2% for temperature is assumed, the properties arecertain to at most 3 to 4 digits, but not more. The same can be shown for steam.Uncertainty of Steam PropertiesIn the superheated steam tables, property data (v, u, h and s) is often given in pressure “blocks.”Students find the correct pressure block, then the line for the appropriate temperature to look upthe other properties.
