Men were also 25% more likely,at the ten-year mark, to be promoted to senior managerial roles than their female peers.Finally, white men expressed the highest levels of job satisfaction and Black and femalegraduates leaned more toward pursuing graduate education than their peers.

To select students to enter theprogram, an application with four essays and demographic information was developed. In orderto select applicants from this pool, the team needed a method for analyzing these applications.Rubrics are often used to rate the quality of a submission, whether graded work submitted by astudent, a report or performance for a competition, a paper presented to a journal or conference,or myriad other situations. Faculty are often trying to improve rubrics, and engineering educatorsare no exception – there are 3869 results for the term “rubric” in ASEE’s PEER repository [8],ranging from apps to help

Further, some groups evidenced use ofproblem typology as a metacognitive aid to direct and redirect their discussion about the problem(e.g. to limit “out of scope” discussion). This differs from the pre sessions, where only one studentexplicitly mentioned the problem type in the pre (but did not get a confirmation from his partner).Similarly, in the pre none of the student groups were reflective about the relevance of their ideasand strategies during the discussion with their peers, which may explain some of the out of scopediscussion. This finding suggests that problem typology can facilitate interaction among studentsin directing their inquiry and supporting discussion along productive problem solving

Young learners, on the other hand, have little experience to drawon, and therefore tend to be dependent on the instructor for guidance. They are also motivated to learnmore by reward and punishment, i.e. good grades, failing grades4. Typically, the traditional lecture isbased on the pedagogical model, with the professor providing information to the student, while theandragogical model allows for more interaction and cooperation between the student, peers, professor,and subject matter (active learning).

Table 1 gives an idea of how Z can be counted. It seems naturalassigning to Z the symbol 30: Card Z = 30. Any countably infinite set A can be counted by usingthe bijection A 2 N. Thus, the symbol 30 can be assigned to any countably infinite set A. Wewrite: Card A = 30 for any countably infinite set A, or in other words, for any set A that isequivalent to the set N = {1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n, ...} of all positive integers.8.

Experimentally, fNIRS machines use a similar simple setup as EEGs so that participantscan comfortably sit or stand while wearing a cap that is connected to a data acquisition system.One key advantage is that fNIRS can be used while participants walk, talk, operate a computer,write, or otherwise perform the actions we commonly associate with educational settings. Themotion artifacts created by these everyday actions are difficult to control for in both EEG andfMRI methods, but do not pose a significant threat in fNIRS research. Though fNIRS boastsgreater spatial resolution than EEG, it lacks the high spatial resolution of fMRI, and thusprovides little information about sub-cortical brains
