indicators shows that they are mostlyeconomic, social or health oriented and few such measures have science and/or engineeringcontent. Further, while they may reflect some degree of progress toward desired ends, theyreflect little or no cause. Therefore, this suggests that the indicators give little information aboutcause and effect of the intended development, but represent aggregated results in a way as to notbe readily identifiable with pertinent inputs. In the search for engineering excellence in pursuit ofeconomic growth and sustainable development it is believed that indicators should containfactors that are more cause and effect related.Few direct measures of the science and engineering exist throughout the continent.

The journals not only recorded each member’s thoughts (material, methodology,perceptions, attitudes, etc.) as the week progressed, but also provided insight into possible hintsfor successful teaching.

other than studyingwhile other students in other majors seem to have plenty. It was assumed that students who were willing to live this life and wanted to be anengineer had a well developed understanding or definition of engineering. When the students ofthis study were asked to reflect back and discuss these definitions we found that most studentssimply did not know what an engineer does. This is interesting because these students havestated that they wanted to be an engineer. For example, Anthony was asked what is yourdefinition of an engineer; Anthony replied, "I don't know if I really have a definition." Manystudents just don't know. For many students we heard comments that were very similar tocomments made by Rachel, who said "I

The vivid colors and animation make it an environment that the students really want to explore.

The four parts are executedin one iteration during which the coal fly ash particle is assumed to settle regardless of how longthe particle is airborne. The wind speed and direction are set during the entire time of an iteration.This iterative process is repeated several times to account for the random changes in wind speedand direction.The size of fly ash particle is selected using Figure 2 and Equation 6. Figure 2 reflects the actualdistribution of particles typically found in coal fly ash. Equation 3 is used to compute its terminalvelocity using Stokes’ law. Next, wind

Thetypes of insulation considered were fiberglass, polystyrene foam, and reflective insulation.Thermostats and a ventilation system were recommended for installation, but very littleinformation was presented on the specific system to be installed. No system parameters,mathematical approximations, or heat transfer modeling were presented to size the system. Theteam estimated that this design could cost up to $7000. The cost optimized

researchers arestarting to apply eye tracking technology in studying people’s problem solving process; e.g.,Madsen’s study of visual attention in physics problem solving [52].Madsen showed that when solving physics problems, both top-down and bottom-up processesare involved. The top-down processes are internal and determined by one’s prior knowledge andgoals. The bottom-up processes are external and determined by features of the visual stimulisuch as color and luminance contrast. Madsen’s study assumed that eye movements reflect aperson’s moment-to-moment cognitive processes, providing a window into one’s thinking.

For example, each institution maydefine what constitutes appropriate AP (Advanced Placement) or transfer credit differently thananother.Also, it has long been known that the selectivity of an institution influences its retention statisticsin a positive way. For example, Astin’s work20 shows conclusively that an institution’sgraduation rate is primarily a reflection of its entering student characteristics. That is, selectiveinstitutions tend to have higher than average retention rates because they tend to have superiorresources and because of the motivating effect, for students, of a peer group with high aspirationsand superior academic

[30] recommend careful consideration of assessment methods inmeasuring problem-based learning outcomes.4.5 Active LearningPrince [61] defines active learning broadly as, “any instructional method that engages students inthe learning process.” This definition is itself broad enough to include many traditional classroomactivities such as lectures (provided students are reflecting, taking notes, or asking questions).However, in an effort to maintain contrast with traditional teacher-centered3 approaches, thesemethods are systematically dismissed by explicit
