they can do to succeed in their courses. This isshown in both a heavily analytical course (Dynamics) and a more qualitative course (SCADA). Even more interesting is that none of the students in the SCADA class studied with otherstudents. The conclusion we come to here, is that this may have been related to the type of course(analytical vs. qualitative) selected to include in this analysis, but we recognize that there areseveral other factors that could influence this behavior. In the future we plan to revisit questionsin the Formative and Summative surveys to help students and instructors to better understandcriteria that leads to satisfactory performance.6 References[1] M.

To ensure variety across the class, the faculty identified five regions: South America,Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Each team was assigned a region and instructed to choose acountry located in that region. Note that North America is excluded because one of the purposesof the project was for students to learn about a country that was different from their own andaccount for regional and cultural factors that could impact their proposed plan to grow algae or tomarket specific

Brad had faith that his approachin conveying his concern to his advisor would result in a satisfactory solution. Theunpleasant fact that Brad discovered later was that his designs were not reviewed orchecked, and that they were passed straight to contractors after being stamped by aprofessional engineer. Although, legally speaking, the engineer that stamped and signedthe plans assumed the responsibility related to the accuracy and compliance of the designwith applicable codes, Brad could not bear the thought that these were his designs and,due to lack of experience and sophistication, such designs

In this regard, the use of competitions could provide an excellentmeans of practice, which could be augmented with theory through the aid of a competitionmentor or advisor.
