Conclusions to be drawn from the data may clarify if technical competency levels willbe improved and if any distinction exists between the two groups (international and domesticstudents), confirming (or not) if communication skills are a factor in that distinction.References[1] L.

%) relative tosmaller disciplines that have greater percentages of women graduates (such as environmentalengineering, which only awards 1% of the engineering bachelor’s degrees in the U.S., but half ofthose degrees are earned by women).2Two metrics were used to quantify course choice opportunity for each degree program: 1) thepercentage of total degree credit hours that were free electives (i.e., no restrictions were placedon the course[s] students could choose) and 2) the percentage of total degree credit hours forwhich students were provided any amount of choice in their coursework, including free electives,technical electives, humanities electives, etc., and any opportunities to choose courses frommenus or lists of options.

without reform, Africa is likely in 2020–30 to have more graduates withoutcritical technical skills than those with them (African Capacity Building Foundation, 2017).STI capacity has been shown to be closely linked to variations among countries in productivity(Allard, 2015). Countries with a larger STI capacity generally tend to be the most prosperous andmost industrialized. They also tend to be more politically stable, often with functioningdemocratic systems; and they provide high-quality employment for their best talent, which helpsto stem the brain drain and bolster the country´s human capital. STI capacity has been shown toplay a role in the development process of the world´s lagging and emerging economies, and inmaintaining technological

This may be promising news for the K-12 classroom, in that thisrequires the re-definition of what students do in the classroom, not the acquisition of additionalspeakers.

Here, the students will: o Conduct the research according to plans developed in week 1. o Meet once a week with the full group to review progress with peers and meet twice per week within subgroups to provide peer critique at subgroup and full group meetings and respond to feedback from full group during the following week. o Document changes in research plans as needed. o
subjects, which is arguably agood response; but when asked to specify her answer, she relays the traditional subjectsassociated with engineers. We believe K-12 engineering education has the chance to properlyeducate pre-college students on what engineers do, as well as, expand students’ understanding ofthe skills that qualify a good engineer. Five of the six participants knew practicing engineers (e.g. parent, grandparent, uncle,cousin). However, they could say very little about what the engineer(s) did at work. For example,when we asked one participant if he knew what his Chemical engineer parents did at work heonly offered a general response: I: Oh I’m sorry Um do you know what your parents do at work as engineers?
