(Principals at Adamsville andKellerton preferred that our research not be conducted in the other kindergarten classrooms inwhich there were early-career teachers.) The study occurred during the second half of the schoolyear, when participants ranged in age from 5.5 to 7 years. A total of 53 kindergartnersparticipated in the study with the following rates of participation: (1) Adamsville (36%participation; 13 participants); (2) Blakely (100%; 9); and (3) Kellerton (70%; 31

ManyMaster’s level programs include courses that address these skills in an attempt to provide a well-rounded program of study, but undergraduates who are in the practitioner’s world have otheralternatives to gain these skills. These individuals can gain various certifications, such as theCertified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or the Certified InformationSecurity Manager (CISM). Due to a perceived gap between academics and field knowledge, itappears that academic programs may not fully consider the very specific competencies of C-Suite members (e.g. Chief Information Security

Some studies focused on the importance of improving group selection,effective teamwork and motivation for overall project quality [8-11]. Another way to ensurequality projects is to establish partnerships with local industry to identify projects topics andcollaborate in monitoring and evaluation [12]. Aligning projects with community service andcauses such sustainability [13-18] proved to increase students’ motivation, creativity andimprove project success.In addition to adopting effective team selection, better management, motivation and partnershipsas discussed in above studies, the issue of bridging the gap between classroom

Some in this group reported aninterest in the arts, some with advanced experience with art in high school. While these aregeneralizations, it is interesting to consider how area of concentration and age/academicexperience affect the outcomes.A further aspect to consider is how teaching a course in two distinct classrooms alters thedynamic. In the studio art instructional space there are four tables, each with four chairs. Asstudents worked, they frequently discussed their projects with their neighbors.

undergraduate engineering students ontheir embracing of a campus and disciplinary culture, that of a “geek.” In analysis of data fromthe students’ first and second years, researchers examine the development of pre-professionalengineering identity within the pseudonymous Mountain Technology Institute (MT or MountainTech). Authors speculate that despite widespread enjoyment in the first year of finding others—“geeks”—who share their interests, in the second year, some of MT’s undergraduates chafe atthe narrowness of their engineering and technology education. Further, the authors postulate thatthe students who become reluctant to remain geeks throughout their undergraduate careers maybe reluctant to remain in the engineering field.Background and

The development of TDLC skills across a program, versus one capstone course, would ideally be the most effective means to ensuring students are prepared for their profession. Additionally, such development in their education experience would transcend to further development in their professional careers.Capstone courses typically provide the last opportunity for a program to positively affect thestudent’s development of the skills in the professional domain, which are critical to the student’ssuccess in their professional career.

Particularly, a popular approach has been to introduce design-based curricula which include hands-on engineering design, oftentimes using modeling andsimulation software8-11. Some of the reasons mentioned for this urge for curricula reform are thedeclining interest of American high-school students for the career (down 18% since 1991), thechanging workforce demographics, the new industrial dynamics brought about by “masscustomization” and other new manufacturing needs and techniques12.
