ability to use that knowledge to solve problems, which providesolutions that further increase knowledge1. Unfortunately, cognitive development related toknowledge collection has been the primary focus of education in the past.Active learning has been a topic of numerous papers and research since the 1970’s and continuesto be the focus of research and methodology discussions of instruction at all levels. Thetechniques of active learning are designed to move the focus of education from primarilyknowledge acquisition to include the solution-based strategies that teach the “whole” student.Originally designed for face-to-face instruction, active learning now must be taken into thenewer realm of on-line and technology enhanced learning.

Through this study, the author investigated the following questions:What are the motives behind female‟s decisions to choose engineering major? What arethe difficulties that female engineers have encountered in their transition from universityto workplace? And what are the perceptions of female regarding the essential skills for asuccessful engineering career? An online survey with Likert-scaled items was completedby 327 female engineers graduated from different universities in Lebanon and working indifferent locations around the world

Therefore, the α transition isconsidered an essential transition for the S input and a zero transition for the R input.The excitation equation of a data input of a flip-flop consists of two parts separated by a“+” sign. The first part represents a list of the essential transitions of this input. Thesecond part starts with “D.C.”, an abbreviation of “don’t care”, followed by a list of thedon’t care transitions of this input included between brackets. The

It must be changed to include transportation engineering as a significant partof the program. The second category of opposition includes those areas which have developed over theyears and which may be present at most institutions.

Geometric Properties of Shapes moduleV. Design and Analysis ToolsA typical module in VLSM is equipped with a design and analysis tool that allows a student todevelop a design model for which it provides a step by step solution. An example of this is theShape Design and Analysis Tool (S-DAT) in the Geometric Properties of Shapes module.Developed using Sun’s JDK 1.2 software, S-DAT can be used to draw a rather complexgeometric shape, and to obtain its properties such as centroid, moments of inertia, product ofinertia, etc. Figure 5-a shows the graphical user interface (GUI) for S-DAT. The icons on theright show the ten built-in templates. They can be used individually or in combination togenerate a more complex shape. (a
