consider theiranswers from their perspective. From this angle, their assertions are correct. The students wereevaluating their experience in an engineering and technology class, a completely new andexciting phenomenon to them. It is likely this was the first time that any of them learned aboutmaglev transportation systems or studied about bridges and structure. For them, therefore, thisclass in itself was a great learning experience. Their difficulties grasping the concepts orexplaining them clearly do negate the fact that they learned a lot about maglev and bridges. Thisis an important example to keep in mind when introducing students to new concepts, developingnew and innovative programs, and assessing learning. The students’ perception of

At the same period in time there was much publicity ofdownturns in the industry, etc., that likely influenced their decisions as much as any otherfactors. The number of our students continuing on into graduate school has been increasing, andwe are retaining more of our best undergraduates. Much of that trend can be immediately tracedto the introduction to students of senior research faculty in lectures to the intro classes, and thesubsequent employment of undergraduates on research projects that interest them. Building onthat interest and continuing into graduate research from undergraduate wage employment is adefinite consequence of the familiarity with

Because these studentstypically have not yet developed content-specific knowledge in a particular field of study, programs musttake into account that participants have a less-developed knowledge base about global issues, especiallyabout global engineering and business practices. The University of Pittsburgh has developed this programwith these constraints in mind; students are introduced to global engineering and business practices at a levelat which they can relate their developing knowledge to what they experience during the program. Becausethe overseas portion of the program is short (two weeks), topics covered are very tightly focused andpresented at an introductory level to students.Although short term

The course is structured into two parallel tracks, designated Aand B. While Track B deals with engineering graphics and spans the entire semester, Track Aoffers students a solid foundation in the general engineering disciplines of mechanical andelectrical, as well as concepts of professional practice, in multi-week modules. Designing andbuilding robots requires skills from all these disciplines and inherently helps to integrate them instudents’ minds.
