was always marked for grammatical errors, though grammar factored intogrades differently for each assignment. Students were graded for content and mechanics in paper1, whereas paper 2 was graded for content, persuasiveness, and a group’s ability to express itsideas clearly. In this way, Practical English departed from GE 3513, in which students’ gradesalways reflect their documents’ content, grammar, mechanics, and style.Minimizing grammar instruction was always my intent for Practical English. Students takingPractical English (similarly to those taking GE 3513) were expected to enter the class with basicgrammar and mechanics mastered; the purpose of this class was to teach students to applypreviously learned writing and grammar skills to

is surprisingly great – boys expressed a much higherexpectation of success, and girls continued to express uncertainty in their abilities, even afterscoring high on a test. Karp and Shakeshaft32 (1997) found that males dominate classroomconversation and are generally more confident in the classroom setting. This issue ofconfidence is a serious one, as confidence is often found to be precursor to achievement.The second theme that emerged from the interview results reflects issues of confidence andprogram choice. The interview subjects made interesting comments about why females arechoosing not to pursue engineering:“I was really worried about it in high school. I was good in english…I had good marks in

were reading thechallenge to design a rake for a one-handed person, they were going through the needs of theuser and the process intuitively. However, this was difficult because they had to keep remindingthemselves that the rake was for one hand. “You have to put yourself in the mindset…one hand,one hand.” A female student shared that she experienced doing a project in high school thatinvolved using the engineering process and a male student agreed. However, they did not knowthey were actually using the engineering design process until they reflected upon this in this firstyear college course.Regarding how this project was most helpful to your learning, the project and the class in generalgave the students more confidence. “I learned how to

no longer ignore these interdisciplinaryaspects of education. They are definitely not peripheral; they are central to the educationalneeds of many engineers…the Goals Report, in its adherence to orthodoxy, does not dealeffectively with these emerging domains that embody many of the dominant engineeringchallenges of the future.” Government representatives emphasized the social role of engineeringin policy: “To put it bluntly, I see little in the Goals Report that reflects the current and growingrequirements of the nation or of the world for engineering talent. I see little that relates suchsocial requirements back into the requirements of the educational system.”The definition of engineering that emerges from that meeting has a dialectic

and interprets those experiences to help individuals make sense of theirown career decisions and experiences (Farmer, 199712; Peterson, Sampson, Reardon, & Lenz,199642; Tyson, 200145).The study of career development of women has become increasingly important, as thepercentage of the labor force that is female has increased (Gutek & Larwood, 198720). As morewomen enter the labor market, the focus has shifted from “women oriented toward homemakingversus careers” to “traditional versus nontraditional careers and identifying career patterns ofwomen” (Gutek & Larwood, 1987, p. 17820). This shift reflects the changing career expectationsof women in information technology. Women have entered the labor market in larger numberand are more

The evaluation confirmed that the implementation was worthwhile andpromising, but at same time indicated direction for improvements. (1) Use of differentspecialized CFD templates for each exercise implied different CFD process for each applicationand did not facilitate site testing. (2) Exercises lacked options and depth.

Decisions in older Page 4.451.5cases may be overturned or modified. However, the parties in those old cases cannot now return tocourt and get the decisions in their particular case changed – only the law has changed, not theircase. In actual practice it is unlikely the parties even know their case has been overturned or the lawapplicable to their case has changed. Many years or decades may have elapsed.4.
