Employability begins when the category of theposition and the skillset(s) needed to fulfill the job requirements are established. As a position’stechnical competence and experience requirement increase, there is less flexibility for hiringmanagers to extend consideration to applicants who do not satisfy all stated criteria, even thoughthey may have the potential to do great in the targeted position. In each of the independentinterviews, the interviewees said this formality is driven by accountability standards establishedat the highest levels of government (personal communication

I guess I really wanted to do research, so I feel like this was the best school for that and I just felt like this would be the best pick for me - Kiran, U2, Biochem Out of all the other choices, I narrowed it down based on distance from the school, cause I'm a commuter. Then, the programs that I have. Back in high school, there's no question like if I'm going to college or not. I'm definitely going to college. So, U2's like my top two schools. Then, also, I love the programs with the scholarships available. - Soledad, U2, ChemEOne distinct finding that indicated a significant difference between institutions was the role ofundergraduate research experience which is very salient at U2.

operators forcalculations on arrays, in particular matrices, a large, coherent, integrated collection ofintermediate tools for data analysis, graphical facilities for data analysis and display eitherdirectly at the computer or on hardcopy, and a well-developed, simple and effectiveprogramming language (called ‘S’) which includes conditionals, loops, user defined recursivefunctions and input and output facilities [14].” We chose to use RStudio because it is an open-source software. Also, this gives the students another programming language tool. The studentscan download the software onto their computers/laptops without any extra cost and be able to usethis software after this course is completed. We have noticed the students are adaptable

In addition to using Edmondson [3]’ seven-item questionnaire forpsychological safety, CATME includes Jehn and Mannix [15]’s questions for measuringconflict, and measures of cohesion from Carless and de Paola [16] and Loughry and Tosi[17]. In appendix A, we provided all questions and sub-questions collected by CATME andused in this study.ResultsIn this paper, we used simple linear regression to measure the relationship betweenpsychological safety and the perception of students about team outcomes (conflict andcohesiveness).

In Student 7’s case, efforts to focus and optimize their design intentions entailsimproving on their attentional control using ‘a timer.’ In making plans, time is also viewed aseffort control [6] where students form intentions about distributing their time and efforts acrossdesign activities.Planning in relation to Modeling: Spending and spreading time out generally or specifically to adesign activity was expressed in relation to modeling, where students intend ‘not getting

In this paper, we position sign creation as a locus forexamining the construction of engineering meaning.This paper centers on two illustrative case studies in engineering sign development: (1) thestress-strain curve and (2) affordance theory. For each case study, we begin by describing thenew sign prototypes and how they fit the concept(s) they attempt to describe. We compare thenew sign to previous options for signing each concept, contextualizing them as examples of thecolonized/assimilated nature of Deaf Education in the United States.

shows thatstudents prefer having workshops in the evenings as opposed to mornings. The preference forevening workshops is corroborated by Hoffman et al.’s study [7]. This could be due to the timingof survey collection; the 2017 survey was sent out in Mid-March, while the 2018 survey was sentout Mid-January. The differences in preference could be a result of students considering theirschedules for the spring semester in the 2018 data. This could also serve to explain the increasein preference for a one-hour workshop in the ‘amount of time’ data.Figure 3.

Curriculum needs to be examined to determine if it not only raisesstudents’ test scores but also provides a stimulus to pursue a career in STEM. Researchdocumenting differences in achievement and attitudes towards STEM subjects need continuedstudy. If differences are evident, it is important to determine when those differences occurred.Without an understanding of the differences in attributes of girls and boys in STEM areas, it isdifficult to provide an equal learning opportunity for both groups.ReferencesAud, S., Hussar, W., Johnson, F., Kena, G

Overall, students have moderate views of how relevant their mathematics courseworkis to their engineering studies.Overall, students had moderate to slightly positive views of the relevance of mathematics toengineering. This result appears much like a dampened version of the results from Flegg et al.’swork. There is a majority of students that believe math is relevant, but this majority is not asoverwhelmingly large as in Flegg et al.’s work [15].flegg_chart.pngFigure 1: Student survey responses to Likert scale items copied from Flegg et al.(after inconsistentitems removed).0.4 LimitationsThese studies have many limitations, outlined below: • Studies were conducted at a large, elite, research-intensive American institution.

argumentation supports the student’s ability toarticulate the reason for approaching a problem in a particular way, justify her/his approach byusing information and reasoning and provide the principles that establish that justification.When analyzing the students’ collective argument, teachers identify three core elements calledthe claim, data, and warrant. The claim is the statement or statements whose validity is beingestablished. The data are statements provided as support for the claims. The warrants arestatements that connect the data to the claim(s). Collective argumentation supports student-to-student or teacher-to-student discussions and allows one to trace her/his understanding of ideasand concepts as they form. While the content within the
