training of the software used for this purposes(e.g. Microsoft Excel). Within the statistical tools, the emphasis was to review with thecalculation of the mean and standard deviation, as well as traditional statistical hypothesis testing(such as t-test, the use of a p-value and q-tests) in order to evaluate the quality and significanceof the data gathered in each laboratory. Considering that some of the students have covered thismaterial in one of their previous courses, it was very important to emphasize that this is the typeof scenario in which statistical analysis is put to place. The safety review session was offered in order to explain traditional safety rules with respectto the handling of instruments and safety guidelines (which include

in eacharea: 1. How well does the pitch/poster articulate a specific problem or unmet need and identify the customer/potential customer? 2. How unique and viable is the proposed solution in addressing the identified need? How well researched is the idea for the profit or non-profit business activity? 3. How effectively and passionately does the presenter articulate the problem, solution and call to action? 4. How effective or accomplished are the speaker’s skills? How well designed and presented is the poster? How well is the Q/A handled?At the competition, posters were displayed for judging during a two hour period. Each team
, Ward12 notes that “[q]ualified women applicants are not given theopportunity to become engineering faculty because it is presumed that women will not have thetime to serve as effective members of the professoriate given their family obligations.” Womenwho do join the faculty ranks experience “bias, lack of professionalism shown toward womenfaculty […], visibility/invisibility, patronization, faculty spouse issues, and other women notacknowledging women engineers.”13 The prevalent cultural norm “assumes a work week of morethan fifty hours a week, which continues to exclude women who have child care obligations,”12further hampering the advancement of women faculty.Over the years, research showing the effects of the institutional culture and

I am glad it was at the start of the semester so I had time to re-work the problems on it.” • “For me I didn’t remember anything from CE300 so it was an excellent review and helps me to better understand the material.” • “Delaying it until we start using the covered material would make sure it is fresh in our minds.” • “Problem Set Zero was so long ago and there was so much material in this block that I don’t think it had an effect at all.”Consideration of both
