In addition, the results show race differences inconfidence among men; African American men report less confidence in their engineeringabilities than White men.In addition, this study also contributes to the knowledge base the finding that there are morerace/ethnicity differences among women than among men, specifically regarding professor-student interaction and student-student interaction. The expression “double bind” is usedparticularly for women of color in that they face two barriers in science and engineering, as awoman and as a minority. The finding that they feel they face greater bias from professors andfellow students is a reflection of the “double

aredocumented in Table 9. As reflected in the table, customer needs were often expressed in muchmore detail in the extreme experience interviews; for example, customers often commented onthe spacing of buttons and the size and location of handles rather than simply summarizing theirthoughts with comments on good or poor ergonomics. Also, it was apparent that many of thecustomer needs were linked specifically to the impairments (oven mitts and one-handedoperation). These impairments made it very difficult to remove a jar/bowl from its base,remove/replace the lid, disassemble components for cleaning, and sometimes perform even basicoperations such as switching the unit on or off and selecting speeds

Attacks on the status quo reflect upon them,and they take it that way. An exception is when a deficiency is the fault of an externalentity (for example, administration or state) or circumstances (for example, a long-periodof inadequate budgets) on which the problem can be blamed.

at Cal Poly both the electrical andcomputer engineering students take a basic electronics manufacturing course in their freshmanyear that includes the design and assembly of printed circuit boards before they begin theircircuit analysis courses. Therefore, the PCB module incorporated into the EE 242 lab is theirsecond experience with PCB design and assembly. The authors believe that this likely accountsfor the higher pre-test scores on Question 47 which may account for the large p-value on theinteraction of Question 47 for the EE 242 experimental group. Therefore, the results forQuestion 47 from EE 361 better reflect the experience of engineering students that have no priorexperience with PCB design and manufacturing.Table 6. Summary of the

Ingeneral, despite their instruction in Technical Communication classes, students tended to revertto old habits and treated the “write up” as an add-on to the engineering work, and thus somethingto be left for the last minute. Not surprising, report and presentation quality reflected thoseperceptions. These reports were, in the words of the engineering faculty members, “Unreadable,unprofessional, and unacceptable.” The writing consultant’s assessment of the unmentoredreports noted: • Lack of appropriate formatting: students wrote “one big document” without definitive sections, headings, or other visual

An important advantage of HSE over other learning environments is that the long-term nature of HSE projects (at least one school-year in duration, often longer) allows studentstime to reflect on “where they are” in a model such as that in Figure 8. With coaches that arefluent in the elementary language and tools of design, and thus able to navigate a more complexmodel of the design process, there will be many more opportunities to teach real aspects ofdesign than in programs with very tight time schedules.After this introduction, there was a group activity that compared three very different types ofstaple removers in a systematic way.13 The three staple removers and sheets

Intersectionality is defined as how socially-constructed social categories such as race andgender intersect and influence experiences 50,51. Instead of examining race, gender, sexualorientation, and other markers of difference as singular identities, Riley & Pawley (2011) useintersectionality to look at individuals’ experiences through their narratives which reflected theirintersecting identities 51.
