In an US News and World Reportarticle2, “High School Students Need to Think, Not Memorize”, an Advanced Placement biologyteacher is quoted “Students go through the motions of their lab assignments without graspingwhy, and ‘the exam is largely a vocabulary test’”.David Perkins3, co-director of Harvard Project Zero, a research center for cognitivedevelopment, and senior research associate at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, pointsout several observations in his article on “Teaching for Understanding”.

A critique of conversations from a participatory research approachAbstractWhilst statistics vary, putting the percentage of women engineers at between 6%[1] and 9% [2]of the UK Engineering workforce, what cannot be disputed is that there is a need to attractmore young women into the profession. Building on previous work which examined whyengineering continues to fail to attract high numbers of young women[3,4] and starting withthe research question “What do High School girls think of engineering as a future career andstudy choice?”, this paper critiques research conducted utilising a

Graduates of these schools qualifygraduates to practice the occupations concerned based on the program completed.

Departmental leadership participated in several national workshops in 2010, tolearn best practices for sustainable assessment. As a result, new assessment and evaluationprocesses were established in Fall 2010 by engaging all constituents (faculty, industrial advisorycouncil) throughout the development and implementation process.
