Panadero et. al [6] went a step further to include themechanisms and techniques involved in performing the self-assessment work. They defined self-assessment as a “wide variety of mechanisms and techniques through which students describe(i.e., assess) and possibly

Originally, 150 minutes of engineeringeconomics class time per week, plus an additional engineering economics lab, with now anadditional topic of project management needed to be fit into 100 minutes a week. Additionally,originally 4 engineering economics credit, plus 3 credits of Project Management course work nowneeded to be reflective of the new 2 credit course weight. This required re-thinking andreimagining the teaching environment just as Sheppard had said needed to happen.A group of prior Engineering Economics instructors and prior Project Management instructorsjoined together to form a committee to study and create the new 2 credit combined course

The published data now tracksinformation for five ethnic groups, each broken out for male, female, and total. We recognizethat a significant part of the U.S. population are people of mixed ethnicity, as does NVSS. Theofficial statement from the Office of Management and Budget is, “The category which mostclosely reflects the individual's recognition in his community should be used for purposes ofreporting on persons who are of mixed racial and/or ethnic origins” [4]. Individuals need to usetheir own judgement in choosing the appropriate demographic group, or to interpolate the databetween groups as might be
