expected to review the lesson objectives, read theassignment, answer the assigned questions, and work the pre-class problems. Questions are allbased on the reading assignment and are focused on definitions, formulas, and fundamentalconcepts. For example, in Solid Mechanics, students might be asked to define prismatic,homogeneous, and isotropic. Pre-class problems are fundament in nature requiring use ofparticular concepts, but not extensive in calculations. For example, in Statics a student might beasked to find the internal force in a single member of a simple truss using the method of sections.Pre-class work is peer-evaluated at the start of each lesson.

to generate a unique technical proposalin response to a Request For Proposal (RFP) or Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) suppliedby the instructor. The format selected for the RFP or BAA is widely used in the engineeringprofession. The proposal topic choices were guided by the need to: stimulate the interest ofstudents pursuing a variety of engineering disciplines; provide deliberately vague designconstraints to introduce students to the challenge of interpreting the intentions of the RFP orBAA; encourage individual creative content in the proposed solution; and adjust the technicalchallenge to be accessible to students with no previous engineering courses. A preliminarydesign review with peers and the instructor provided valuable feedback to

to, say,the norms of a writing seminar where all are expected to acquire the skill without finding outwho is incapable at writing. What seemed to be coming up in this interview was a daily experience of beingconstructed as incapable, in programming (for Isaac) and/or in engineering. We call this thecultural construction of ability, of being “not cut out for” the discipline. The disability at play inthis educational fact is not one that often gets labeled or spoken out loud in those terms, thoughneither is it only living inside one student’s head. The sort of ability hierarchies at play herehave a mutually acknowledged meaning and institutional consequences. By cultural constructionof ability we mean to acknowledge the many levels on

Rather,women are concentrated at the lower ranks of academia as assistant professors, lecturers andadjunct faculty (Fox, 2010).
