in the project report. Cycle 1- Assessment Results & Evaluation Actions. In the first cycle, all direct indicators met the target performance of 75%. As for the indirect measure demonstrated by the student survey response, it did not meet the target (69%).The indirect measure reflected the concerns that were received from students regarding the lack of training they received in estimating software. Through their internship experience, they realized most construction firms utilize construction software in their daily operations. The use of hand calculation, which is the main method of estimating in class is hardly used in the industry. Accordingly, faculty made effort to acquire estimating software such as Bluebeam

The procedure outlined byNetemeyer [2] was the basis for several other established instruments, and served as a drivinginfluence for this project.Netemeyer suggests a linear model of instrument development motivated with empiricalevidence. The critical first step, is to clearly define the traits or abilities being measured.Accurate definitions are necessary as they will inform item creation and the overall character ofthe instrument. The definitions should be informed by theory, and accurately reflect the contentdomain being measured. Literature and other appropriate sources should be thoroughly reviewedto best inform

This is to allow for echoes being weakerfrom distant objects. The motion detector is capable of measuring objects as close as 0.15 m andas far away as 6 m. The short minimum target distance allows objects to get close to the detector;this reduces stray reflections. The MD has a pivoting head which helps the user aim the sensoraccurately.

This capstone experience reflects the“gold-standard” in that our students typically work on industry-sponsored projects thatinclude design and build phases, resulting in a working prototype and requiring sponsorsignoff approval prior to completion (and, hence, graduation). Most projects areinterdisciplinary in nature, requiring various combinations of students from our computer,electrical, mechanical and manufacturing degree programs (typically teams of 5-6students), to develop products that incorporate an assorted range of mechanical,electrical

When it comes to graduate school only afraction of these undergraduates is pursuing graduate schoolleading to fewer female students in graduate school are researchingin computer science. This phenomenon is reflected in othercomputer science related fields such as computer engineering aswell [2]. For example only 30% of women are employed incomputer science. The ripple effect can be observed in making thesituation even worst by creating a very small pool of positivefemale role models for women in CS [3, 4, 12].
