interfering with my education and the professor’s response wasn't welcoming and then he got kind of hostile…I was actually called on at one point in class and I gave the best response that I could, but it wasn't the response he was looking for and in front of the whole class he said that if you couldn't answer that question, you would make nothing more than a mediocre engineer. And so it just felt pretty awful.Also evident in the interviews was a belief that engineering professors and teaching assistants donot understand that not all students’ brains work the same way and that they misunderstand thenature of accommodations.

(Pearson’scorrelation = 0.31, n = 42) correlation was found between the exam 1 score and the in-class“transfer quiz.” It should be noted that exam 1 in EELE 201 contains little if any content relatedto calculus and thus any correlation between exam 1 and either calculus grades or the transferproblem quiz would speak more to a student’s general ability to handle abstract concepts ratherthan to their ability to demonstrate a particular math skill. Certainly, students are required todemonstrate an understanding of basic calculus and the ability to manipulate complex numberslater in the course.The laboratory activity required students to explain through words, sketches and simplecalculation why a proposed measurement of current would yield a perhaps unexpected

Infrastructure and competenttechnical staff to install, support and maintain the tool is mandatory if it is to be used in aclassroom laboratory environment. If the selected tool requires a new set of hardware andoperating system (OS), the cost could become prohibitive. It is even more difficult if a differentOS is used by different units within an educational system and the goal is to have all units usethe selected tool. Table 3 shows the system

At the completion of their project, students graduated and therefore, no studentsremained to teach the incoming students about the project or best practices of the design process.This project is also different from a Design Competition project. In a design competition project,students’ main focus was on the completion of the product and less on the process of design [17],whereas in this project the focus of the students was to achieve a balance between process andproduct. For example, Poynter et al [17] described that the competition design project scope forthe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student competition was to

Hence, there was an intentional overlap of learning outcomes.Students, through the research projects, were acquiring the learning desired for the courses.
