They indicated that discussing andoperating the RC are more valuable than performing calculations with the data. The level of thematerial was appropriately challenging for upper-level engineering students. A few keys to Page 12.1002.5successful use of the RC were also given in the paper.Second, a parametric study of the effects of component losses on RC thermal efficiency wasperformed. The results showed that the range of component losses used in the parametric studyaccurately reflects experimental

computer science is attainable, understandable and useful. 8PCM provides a way to frame the curriculum of each course in a major or minor. Instructors usethe parallels to determine the primary and secondary priorities which are then reflected in theevaluation and instructional activity design. Identifying priorities allows the instructor to beflexible and make changes “on the fly” if students lack assumed abilities or if they learn therequired concepts quickly and can handle more challenges.2.2 Objectives: Employment, Desire, FoundationPCM language clarifies the educational value of projects in a computer science curriculum withrespect to the objectives.

there will always be positions for them. Thus, engineering education will also bechanging, with more emphasis on graduate education, as outlined in a recently released series ofreports by the National Academy of Engineering [30]. Educators recognize that undergraduateresearch motivates students to apply for graduate school, and underrepresented groups mustbecome an integral part of such a technical workforce. However, underrepresented collegestudents do not reflect their numbers in the U.S. population (51% women, 12.1% AfricanAmericans, and 12.5% Hispanics [27, 28, 31]). A recent National Academies report [32]recommends: “Increasing participation of underrepresented minorities is critical to ensuring ahigh quality supply of scientists and

Thus, “interactive socialization” is crucial in helpinggraduate assistants construct the agency that is important for them to become innovativeresearchers and more “reflective, confident and self-directed” as adult learners.68, 69So, while students and faculty of science and engineering with differing native languages havethe ability to converse in highly constrained mathematical and technical languages, they alsoneed to have the ability to describe their inspirations and intuitions, as well as explainconnections they might have to other experiences in their unique pasts.

An over-representation of women in the lowest faculty ranks mayindicate some form of discrimination in the promotion and tenure process, or it may simplyreflect recently stepped-up efforts to increase the representation of women on an engineeringfaculty by hiring larger numbers of new Ph.D. recipients.37 Similarly, a salary differentialbetween male and female faculty members of apparently similar rank and responsibility mayresult from some form of discrimination in the compensation process, or it may reflect someother intangible factors not readily apparent from reviewing a salary spreadsheet.12,37

A numerical manipulation of averages was not helpful in making this assessment.After considerable discussion, the attainment of each BOK outcome was assessed from thecombined contribution of courses and other activities in the student’s four-year experience. Theresults are shown in Figure 2 where the ratings reflect, for example, that the USMA CE majorsupon graduation are fully able to attain recognition and understanding competency in the designof a system and are about 20% of the way to ability which entails being able to

In the case of the rest to do so would excite in some in a thoroughly offensive fashion, in others certain lofty and vain hopes as if they had acquired some awesome lore.” Plato Letter VII, 341d- 342aPlato’s assertions here reflect the supercilious attitude as he seems to indicate that “the commonperson cannot assimilate sensational information without fear or being given to

While a zerodelta reflects no change for that participant on that item, a non-zero delta indicates a change inthe participant’s response from pre- to post-survey. A sign test was then performed using thenon-zero delta observations to identify any statistically significant differences for each surveyquestion. The test results revealed that there was a statistically significant change in participants’consideration of a manufacturing career, belief of job availability, view of the education levelneeded for these jobs, and perception of cleanliness.

These sub-factors are also normally distributed within the following theoreticalranges: SO (13–65), E (7–35), and R/G (12–60) [26, 27]. Sufficiency of Originality (SO)highlights differences between individuals in their preferred ways of generating and choosingideas. The more adaptive tend to generate more highly detailed ideas that remain more closelyconnected to the original constraints of a problem, while more innovative individuals tend togenerate ideas that challenge the problem definition and constraints. Efficiency (E) reflects anindividual’s preferred methods for managing and organizing ideas as they solve problems. Themore adaptive prefer to define problems and
