It may be necessary to increase the number of female recruiters, the number of photos of females in the catalog, particularly in views of students at work in laboratories, and the number of images of females in any promotional literature or advertising.2.

laboratories indicated graphical rating scales were used by avast majority [19].A report by Murphy indicated a criticism of graphical ratings is the tendency of managers toassign a uniform rating. Murphy’s report studied Merck & Co, Inc. from 1978 through 1989.Merck managers assigned a rating from 1, poor, to 5, best, based on overall performance. Forappraisals during 1984 and 1985, 97.76% of the employees received a 3 or 4 appraisal rating[20]. The Cornell University researchers found 77% of their respondents’ professionalemployees rated at the comparable 3 or 4 level [14].Another shortcoming of the graphical rating is its inherent relia nce on the rater’s subjectiveanalysis of the work performance behaviors observed and their translation to the

Unfortunately, two things occurred which madethis mode of instruction infeasible:1- The equipment at the four schools was not functioning and could not be repaired in time for the project start date; and2- A common schedule for the students at all four schools could not be developed.

In the meantime, one solution is to rethink the lecture-laboratory conceptthat is prevalent in engineering technology education and to blend the time allocated to thecourse so that the activities can be completed in longer blocks. As needed, the instructor canengage students in dialog about new concepts they need to complete the task at hand. Such just-in-time learning has advantages in that the students are ready to learn the concepts because theysee the immediate applicability for it.This type of instructional organization would work best if the curriculum were broken intosmaller

. The passing rate of each concept could be a valuable indicator for assessment of ABETstudent outcomes. For instance, the fact that 80% of students can solve 2D rigid bodyequilibrium problems helps the instructor to evaluate a specific course outcome, which is on-going work leading to a future publication. Also, based on the passing rate from previoussemesters we can predict the concepts that are difficult for most of the students and better planfor instruction in future offerings of the course.References1.
