workplace aftergraduation, it is important that they understand the nature of those problems that they willencounter and the specific challenges they are going to face in the real world.Not many researchers have investigated students’ perceptions of engineering workplaceproblem solving. Some of the existing studies we have found suggest that students might nothave a good understanding of engineering workplace. For example, Jocuns, Stevens, Garrison,and Amos (2008)’s study indicates some students graduated from engineering without a clearidea of what the actual workplace will look like4. Similar findings are shared in the workpresented by Matusovich, Streveler, Miller, and Olds (2009). Their qualitative study over a fouryear period found three out

Again,similar to the performance of the experimental group from Maloney et al.’s study, our responsesshowed answer choice C as the second favored choice. Besides the fewer correct responsesobtained in this question compared to the previous item, correct answer option B wasconclusively the response with the highest percentage of correct answers.Lastly, question 3 showed an increase in incorrect responses. Authors relate this issue as“confusion on both the effect of the magnitude of the charge and the distance of separation” (p.16).

the community, and 3) enabling students to practice autonomy and personalresponsibility in directing their own learning.Servant-Leadership is a leadership paradigm established by Robert Greenleaf in the 1970’s thatemphasizes power sharing in decision making processes. It also encourages leaders to servethose they manage by gently guiding and propelling them toward high achievement andaccomplishment while promoting their growth and self-efficacy. Servant-Leadership advocates ahierarchical structure different from the classical top-down management pyramid often seen inindustry and academia. In industry, management rests at the top of the structure supported byworkers, and in academia, teachers are authority figures with control over content

Some students also had attended department-specific safety programs- usually in the first year of their graduate programs. To upgrade all students skills, the leadoperator(s) of each piece of major equipment led a short workshop on using that peice ofequipment. Students attending the workshops were enthusiastic about the training. As shown inTable 1, Question 1, students ranked their base knowledge of operating the laboratory equipmentrelatively high (5.9 out of 8), but still felt that the workshops significantly improved their skills.

The support count of an itemset is the number of transactions that contain theitemset. We denote the number of elements in an itemset x by |x|. Then the support of itemset x is σ ( x) = {t i | x ∈ t i , t i ∈ T } .The support of a rule x→ y, is the proportion of transactions that contain the itemsets in the rule.This is the support count of the union of the antecedent and the consequent divided by the totalnumber of transactions as in Equation 1. σ ( x ∪ y) s( x → y

The method is typically applied in situationswhere judgmental information is needed to set goals, develop policy, and predict the events offuture events [14, 16, 17]. The key advantage of
