Also, participants were asked to rate 18 likert-scaled items on a scale of 5(1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree). The 18 items include: six that were designed to revealthe participants‟ interests in pursuing a PhD degree, three that were used to reflect the subjectivenorm, and nine that were used to reflect the participants‟ attitudes toward enrolling in PhDprograms. The 18 Likert-scaled items related to the interests, subjective norm, and attitudesrevealed a reliability of 0.91.

IntroductionFixed roadway lighting plays an important part in safe driving at night. Since automobileheadlights do not light a distance that is adequate for safe stopping at night. To provide safedriving at night, different design methods for roadway lighting was developed to obtain bettervisibility and visual comfort. The first time roadway lighting were desined, it was based on theamount of light striking the surfaces of the pavement (illuminance). However, it was later foundthat the brightness of a pavement related to the amount of light that is reflected from it(luminance). Since then, it has been proved that the ability to

Yet reflection upon the effectiveness of teaching and Page 5.13.1learning has not always been a crucial practice for engineering academics and consequentlyattendance at formal courses has continued to be infrequent or non-existent. Staffdevelopment activities have also previously been boycotted by Australian academics forreasons of “lack of time available”, “anyone can teach” or “teaching is a personal matter”.

These experiences notonly contribute to a heightened sense of marginalization and demoralization among aspiringwomen engineers but also create a hostile work environment that hinders their career progressionand stunts their motivation to stay in the field.These problems are reflected in persistent departures of women from the field of engineering,indicating an urgent need for intervention [9]. Many women cite personal misalignment with thefield as the reason for their departure [9]. Furthermore, the number of women decreasesdramatically as one moves up the industrial ladder. While women may enter engineering roles,they are less likely to ascend to higher-level positions, resulting in fewer female leaders and rolemodels within the

and effective approach. Theircharacter education model is broken into five components: teaching about character; displayingcharacter; demanding character; apprenticeship; and reflecting on character [18]. This modelsupports a pedagogical approach which provides a foundation of understanding througheducation, provides mentorship and setting of conduct standards and adds reflection as animportant component which allows the student to assess their behavior and potentially adjust.As pragmatic as this approach might be, there are very few postsecondary institutions that try toreach this level of character education. To the contrary, most look to the ‘participation’ approachas noted above [18].a pedagogical approach to engineering virtue

andencourages students to use their initiative and reflect on their failures and successes [7]. Oneof the concerns in using PBL is that students themselves often find it difficult to assimilateold knowledge with new, which limits their ability to develop engineering judgement, eventhough as educators we recognise the importance of this assimilation. The concept ofapplying old knowledge and understanding to new situations and thereby creating newknowledge and understanding can also serve as the defining aspect of PBL, so long asstudents are given adequate instruction and scope to experiment with their ideas [8]. Studentswould require confidence in tackling a problem in addition to having acquired a broadconceptual understanding of the problem. In PBL

Students learn most from the experiential exercises [11]. In some cases, games aim atdeveloping and understanding trust rather than addressing conflict directly. In other cases, exercisesbuild skills in interviewing and giving feedback.Third, some approaches rely greatly on reflection, particularly written reflection [e.g., 27, 32, 34].As Powers and Kirkpatrick [27, p. 65] concluded: While oral debriefing is necessary, it is not sufficient for effective learning.

It cancause team members to spend more time focusing on off-task issues and make team membersless cooperative and receptive to others’ ideas [4]. While there is conflicting research regardingthe impact of other conflict types on performance, there is a broad consensus that relationshipconflict has an adverse effect [6]–[8].
