To answer this question, we sent a survey to all Computer andElectrical Engineering students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo asking about their experiences withthese types of expenses. Ultimately the survey collected responses from 114 students across theeconomic spectrum, from students facing homelessness due to education costs, to those who donot face financial burdens or the need to work to support their education.Overall some of the results of this paper were promising.

True assessment of students learning outcomes: Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, so that they are more likely to develop higher-order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Supportive educational environment: Because of appropriate use of information and communication technologies that have been applied in the program increases the independent learning skills of the students.

Another soft scaffold was then given to reveal a hidden key concept for the problem: [Assuming smooth pulleys, the force in the left upper spring k1 is equal to the force in the right upper spring k2. This force equality is k1*(y1+y3) = k2*(y2-y3) and is the third needed equation.] Scaffold # 3 The instructor offered this final dose of scaffolding to help students write the

Likewise, a unique aspect of the Sailplane Class isthat it is also vertically integrated, with students entering as freshman and remaining throughtheir senior years, allowing for students to interact across their experience levels. All are requiredto give presentations and reports to promote both peer and expert feedback of their efforts.While the class focus is on the fabrication of a sailplane (or, for the past several years, on ahuman-powered airplane), two years ago radio-controlled airplanes were introduced into theprogram to augment student experiences.Course StructureTypically, the course enrollment is approximately thirty-five students.

While it is often assumed that participation inentrepreneurial experiences beyond the classroom are critical for developing the entrepreneurialmindset and entrepreneurial knowledge and skills20,27,28, these experiences are often clusteredtogether with little analysis of structure, levels of institutional support, or levels of studentparticipation, or. For instance, Duval-Couetil et al. (2012)20 used a wide range of“entrepreneurship-related activities” to compare the involvement of students who did and did notparticipate in entrepreneurship courses. These activities included the experiences of conducting amarket research, giving an “elevator pitch,” writing a business plan, participating in a non-creditentrepreneurship workshop

These instructions also include somereminders of things to consider that may help them communicate their scene, including tone,volume, body language, and use of relational space (all discussed previously in course content).Students are additionally encouraged to use readily available props as they deem appropriate.Each group is instructed to keep their scene a secret from other groups as they prepare.

For example, it is widely accepted that many engineers believe nontechnicalskills to be easy and subsequently less valuable in the grander scheme of things [10]. A belieflike this could potentially impact the way that an engineering student interacts with a teammatein a nontechnical major like political science or creative writing. By encouraging students tocollaborate with a diverse team in a capstone environment, they are given the chance toexperience interdisciplinary interactions prior to entering the professional world.
