Thisallows us to determine how much more variance is explained by including the economic statusvariable.Raudenbush and Bryk assert the importance of using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), ormultilevel modeling (MLM), in education research, especially when using variables that areaggregated at a higher level than the outcome variable(s) 18. In our case, six-year graduation is astudent level outcome while PES and DES are variables that are aggregated at the school anddistrict levels, respectively. MLM takes into account the interrelatedness of variables at multiplelevels, which violates the assumption of independence in ordinary least squares (OLS) regression19 . While MLM

Among the software developedfor civil engineering education in recent years, the West Point Bridge Designer1 developed byDr. S.

Although the software was developed intending foroutreach to middle to high school students, it has attracted the attention of college students andfaculty as well. The software also helps set the benchmark as what an educational softwareshould be.The motivation in developing the Tension Connection Analyzer was that of

inaugural Award for Innovation in Curriculum Development. The DrexelEngineering Curriculum (tDEC), which grew out of the efforts of E4, have continued to grapplewith the difficult matter of assessing an innovative program which defies standard quantitativemeasurements. Since E4’s inception, evaluation has included quantitative analysis augmentedwith qualitative analysis to indicate the positive direction for growth.The real challenge to maintaining innovation in a curriculum is to answer the question, "Whenthe program is no longer new, by what measures should it be renewed?".tDEC seeks to educate freshmen engineers who are not only technically proficient but wellrounded, individuals who understand the societal impact of their actions.

made toattract and retain women in IT education. Trends in S&E degrees show the number of earneddegrees by women has been increasing in the social and biological sciences, but decreasing in ITfields. For instance, women’s share of baccalaureates in computer science peaked at 15,126 in1986, and then declined to 6,772 in 199627. Considering women constitute 51% of the populationand 46% of the U.S. labor force, it is important to understand why their number is low in IT.There are many reasons why women should find IT attractive. With the information revolution,IT has grown rapidly in the recent past, and is likely to do so in the near future. IT knowledge isused in all sectors of the U.S. economy and is not limited to IT industry. Similarly

isrequired for this course. The necessary concepts are covered in standard Statics and Dynamicscourses, but often focus on problems involving individual rigid bodies. Consequently, I findmost students have difficulty applying those concepts to machine systems. One stumbling blockseems to be the fact that drive systems have multiple rigid bodies, sometimes connected byflexible elements. The students want to treat the drive system as a single rigid body. Also, theconcept of trading off speed for torque requires some learning on their part. Introduce efficiency,and some students have real difficulty.After this review/extension of the basics, I utilize the Browning Catalog (see Text(s) section -many others would be equally appropriate) to expose the

For the period between 1979 and 1985, over 40large industrial plants permanently ceased operations. Between 1970 and 1990, the region lost156,750 manufacturing jobs – more than half of the existing base of manufacturing jobs.[1] Theregion’s population declined to 2,597,833 from 1980 to 1990 – a loss of 183,894 people.[3]Starting in the 1990’s, regional manufacturing slowly began to improve
