Almost all the ofcomments about time were negative, ranging from the presentations being too short (, or therewasn’t enough time to answer questions or students felt rushed. One student seemed to enjoy thepresentations but thought they should be longer, “It would have been helpful if the presentationswere a little longer because some of the speakers had a lot of great info in their presentations butcouldn't get through all of it because of the time constraints” (DP196). Some students wantedone-on-one time with the department presenters, “I have considered switching majors but theydon't give you enough time to talk one on one to the presenters about what it mean(s) to switchor compare the 2 fields

Figure 3: Installation of fatigue test specimen in servohydraulic testing machineResults for fatigue life in general strongly depend on the load levels experienced. Given the timelimitations, a single load range is used for all test samples. (In a materials rather than astructures lab, variations in fatigue life due to different stress amplitudes can be explored in thecontext of a rotating beam test to generate a S-N curve.) The peak amplitude of stress was set toprovide an estimated run time of about 30 minutes for the specimens with a circular hole. Thisresulted in a maximum load of 1788 lb (7.95 kN), corresponding to a

questions.While we are just launching our validation effort, it is worth commenting on some criticalmethodological issues related to the two main approaches we are now pursuing. The firstapproach is among the most widely used for scoring SJT items. It involves utilizing a smallgroup of SMEs (i.e., job incumbents with extensive global experience) who identify best andworst options, or rate each response option on a continuum using a Likert-type scale (e.g., from1=least desirable behavior/action to 5=most desirable behavior/action). A test-taker’s answerswill then be compared to the SME ratings; the more similarities between SME ratings and thetest-taker’s answers, the higher scores s/he would receive. This presumes that responses collectedfrom SMEs

The three projects may becompleted off-campus at global projects centers, which accounts for WPI being recognized in theU.S.A. for sending more engineering undergraduates abroad than any other school. Moststudents who choose to go away do so for the IQP project, and complete projects sponsoredmainly by governmental and non-governmental organizations, and advised by WPI faculty on-site at the project centers.WPI has a population of 4100 undergraduates, 32% of whom are female. Students come from 47states and 71 countries. Seventy-one percent of students major in a choice of more than tenengineering majors, including the U.S.A.’s first undergraduate major in robotics
beyond thesimple price indices. Note that both price and total return versions of the Dow Jones and the S&P500 indices are available. Only total return versions should be used. We note that the S&P 500and the Russell 1000 are generally regarded as better measures than the Dow Jones, as theyinclude more firms and they weight them by their capitalization or float, rather than simplyaveraging the stock market prices of 30 firms as does the Dow Jones with a divisor calculated tomaintain historical continuity.A Realistic and Valuable Bond and Stock PortfolioWe want to build a portfolio that is a combination of assets in order to manage the risk and returnof the entire portfolio.

methods include the use of content experts, reviews of existinginstruments, and lists of behaviors and descriptors commonly associated with the construct(s) wewish to assess. Unfortunately, however, item creation sometimes becomes overly dependentupon a researcher’s personal attitudes about the construct(s) being tested, or on “borrowing”items from other instruments that may or may not be sound measures of the construct(s) ofinterest. These risks are particularly likely for new researchers in engineering education, whomay have little experience with best practices in social science research.One way to support best practices in the development of new surveys and assessments is to usean instrument blueprint to guide the creation of items, as well

A larger samplesize may be required to satisfactorily tell whether or not there actually is a difference betweenprompts that are used to promote learning and the possible differences in gender ratings suggeststhe need for further research and confirmation in that area.

community of inquiry amongst students,the students need to experience a diversity of interactions across both, and possibly within eachof the, online and on-campus modes of student presence involved in blended learning.Weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of residential schools, we conclude that theyare a very important component in an online undergraduate engineering program. As far asonline education in engineering is concerned, a balance needs to be found between ensuringproper training and assessment of trainee engineers and the very worthwhile goal of providingengineering education “anywhere, anytime”.42AcknowledgementsThe authors express their sincere thanks to K.L.

To combat this lack of gender diversity, colleges and universitieshave employed outreach programs and developed summer engagement opportunities that allowwomen to explore engineering before they graduate high school.
