Is it possible to find objectivestatistical evidence that standards have risen or fallen dramatically over the past decade? Thisarticle attempts to answer these questions.The following framework should be borne in mind while analysing the situation in France:* There are some 90 "Universités" in France in the year 2001, varying in size from a fewthousand students up to around 50,000.* There are some 170 "Grandes Ecoles" in engineering in France, whose size rarely exceedsmore than 1,000 students each.* 1.25 million people are paid by the Ministry of Education, 70% of whom are teachers.* There are currently some 1.5 million students

This is particularly important since the“colorful” results of CFD can often mislead students into trusting all of the results(correct or erroneous) that the computer generates.With this goal in mind, a senior/beginning graduate level course on Computational FluidDynamics (ME 439/539) was introduced in the

Copyright  2001, American Society for Engineering Education”IV. ConclusionFinite element analysis is now a tool that is used by a large percentage of design engineers.Therefore, the teaching of the finite element method has taken on greater importance. It shouldbe held in mind, however, that FEA is not an independent subject but rather an extension of basicmechanics principles made possible by the revolution in computing during the last 20 years.Therefore, opportunities exist to help students’ understanding of basic mechanics at the sametime they are learning a valuable skill for the workplace. What we have outlined here is a way toaccomplish this by coupling the course with a required course sequence in mechanics.Bibliography1 Brinson, L

The measures of belongingness, self-confidence, and academicengagement developed by Yorke [26] focus on student perceptions within an academic program.We implemented the instrument, as well as our questions about belonging in school and majorand feeling like an engineer, with this idea in mind [7]. It is difficult to directly compare thescores between these two instruments because one uses a 5-level Likert scale and the other uses a7-level Likert scale. We chose to keep the original scales for

Sophie highlights reasonswhy for her and other students experiencing similar microaggressions, they may choose to stay silent:definitively gendered and problematic, they may fear retaliation from or worsening relations with fellowteammates. She also notes that gendered microaggressions are “a society thing, not like a school thing.” Ifwe consider how engineering professors might typically relate to gendered microaggressions – to assumethey are not happening (out of sight out of mind), to worry whether they themselves are
