The outreachevent takes place in Boise, Idaho, and at the time of its onset was the only outreach or campactivity in the state focused on girls or young women. Across ten years, 510 total girls haveparticipated, with approximately 85% of them coming from the immediate metropolitan area.The program was developed with a mind toward marketing engineering as an exciting, creativeactivity; including activities developed specifically from that perspective.1 The specific topic ofthis paper is an investigation into the motivation for volunteers and students to support thisprogram. Our hypothesis is that, in particular, the women found this an experience that helped tocreate community among like

Consequently it is difficult to make a complete determination of the effectiveness of thenew professional ethics program from this limited data.First a baseline of scores was established by taking the average scores from the two courses forthe very first year of the program.

Similarly, students did not have toworry about concerns at the late stages of a design process such as manufacturability, lifecycleanalysis, or ongoing maintenance.Figure 1 outlines the intended timeline of classroom activities and expeditions. For the on-campus sessions the 34 students in the class were divided into two sections and each class wasgiven twice.

This benefit pays apercentage of tuition, a Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), and a book stipend based on theamount of active duty time served by the veteran. Table 1 is a summary of the award percentageearned based on the active duty time served. This information is useful for understanding atwhat level a specific student veteran’s education is funded.

On the contrary, a classroom that has intimidating technology, a non-intuitive setup andinadequate furniture will also not meet the basic teaching needs of instructors and learning needsof students. Rather than trying to foretell what a classroom should look like in a few years, onecan design a modern instructional classroom that 1) has the ability to support multiple learningactivities not only from class to class, but also within the same class period, and 2) includestechnology that is not a feature in the room but rather is seamlessly integrated into theclassroom1.

Banks stated that “ethnic, cultural diversity is apositive element in a society because it enriches the nation, gives individuals moreopportunities to experience other cultures and thus to become more fulfilled as humanbeings” 1. The aim of cross-cultural education is to provide the learners with “globalawareness – an integrated worldview”, necessary to achieve active and full participation insociety and, as a result, to form “intercultural personality”.Nowadays much attention is paid by the scholars to the development of the context of theintercultural education.

The vehicle would also have a fully-autonomous mode in which it would travelalong sidewalks to navigate between waypoints. While in the autonomous mode, the vehicle would avoiddynamic obstacles.

Our faculty are now rallied around the simple message of“teach like we do research7.” This message is enacted through a three-stage model oftransformation illustrated in Figure 1. First, faculty are organized into Communities of Practice(CoPs) through which they will innovate their courses. Second, faculty commit to an implement-evaluate development cycle for which the CoP must commit to collecting data about theirinnovations and using the data to inform iterative development.
