Although WEB students did better on the change managementitem than did LEC students, in general, this item had a very low correct answer rate, suggestingone of several possibilities: (a) content may not have been taught, and/or (b) the item may bepoorly constructed.The differences between the percentages of correct response for the WEB students versus theLEC students were lowest in the following content areas: ≠ Life stage transition ≠ Organization management/culture ≠ Employee supervisionThe COST course provides an applied approach to the collection, analysis, presentation

Figure 1, for example, shows a typical configuration of a dataacquisition system offered by AIM Sports specifically designed for motor racing.Both, the data collected and the analysis performed by the use of data acquisition systemscan be subdivided into suitable categories. This subdivision normally depends on theintended application of a data acquisition system. In car racing, for example, it is Page 14.1257.5common to break down the collected data into the following categories:(a) Vital functions of the car,(b) Driver Activity, and(c) Chassis Physical Parameters.The number of

Together with Navy Lieutenant ConradWestervelt and Herb Munter, Boeing designed and built his first airplane, a float plane namedthe B&W. Shortly thereafter, on July 15, 1916, Boeing incorporated his aircraft manufacturingbusiness as Pacific Aero Products Company, a name he changed to Boeing Airplane Companythe following year. In early 1917, Boeing hired two students, Clairmont L. Egtvedt and Philip G.Johnson, from the University of Washington, to be his engineering staff. Though

The laboratory exercise uses guided-inquiry to lead students to discover how theenergy storage and shaft work are manifest in the behavior of the blender.

meeting, you can ask the TA for any feedback that (s)he isgetting from the students. This is important, because students are often more willing to discusstheir difficulties with a TA than they are to discuss them with you.4. ContractsExperience indicates that few instructors enter into contracts with their TAs, but it is a goodpractice, because it makes explicit the expectations, and therefore makes it more likely that thegoals will be met. Appendix A and Appendix B contain two sample TA contracts. Thoughneither is from engineering (they are from Sociology and Hospitality & Tourism Management,respectively), both are indicative of what could be included in a contract for an engineeringcourse.
