Thatis, after gathering adequate baseline measurements for one student group, the intervention isintroduced to the group while the other group(s) are maintained at their baselines. This process isrepeated until all groups are introduced to the interventions. As such, all students participating inthe study receive the potential intervention, thus avoiding any ethical considerations 44.

The paper also assesses specific character and professional attributes, stereotypes(profession-, ethnicity or gender-based) and attributes known to facilitate viewer's identificationwith on-screen characters, of engineering professionals portrayed in selected films. In particular,the key research question of “How are engineer(s) and their work portrayed in the feature films?”was broken down to more detailed sub-questions: • What types of engineering work are represented? How is creative component of that work shown? How successful (or unsuccessful) are the outcomes? • Is the distinction between science and technology, and scientist and engineers depicted? • Are

These core courses are selected so as to reflect the first twoyears of a four- year engineering program. While this model is certainly reasonable, it does havesome major weaknesses. Many engineering schools have engineering programs in classic areassuch as civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering with a number of courses, inmathematics and science, in common. However, the first two years of an engineering programcan have subtle but significant differences in course requirements that are specific to that major.If the new transfer student stays on track with their initial choice for a major, there is no problem.But, should the

DescriptionThe ‘text’ for EET 360 consisted of one main web page per lecture. The use of OnCourseallowed a setup where a student could select “Schedule” and view a main textbook page (similarto a Table of Contents), from which s/he could select a desired lecture or lab topic (Figure 1).The layout of each page included (see Figure 2):Objectives: A list of specific student requirements for each lecture.Notes: Links to Power Point slides (when available), outlines of lecture notes, and/or images from overheads or slides. Outlines were sometimes supplied rather than complete slide presentations to prevent hundreds of pages from being printed unnecessarily.Resources: Links to periodical articles, industry organizations
