The authors highlight their experiences andpresent addition activities to improve student learning.Kaul and Sitaram20, present a combined course in Statics and Dynamics with many new featuresthat are not observed in the traditional courses. This course has added new learning outcomes toaccommodate laboratory experiences. The course has been designed for four credit hoursconsisting of 180 minutes of lecture time, 120 minutes of laboratory time and 60 minutes oftutoring time every week of the fourteen-week semester. The contact time has been distributed soas to promote scaffolding of the learning process. The learning outcomes established for thiscourse include ABET1 outcomes 'a' and 'e' as well as ABET1 outcomes 'b' and 'k'. Details of

caused some contamination of the WindRiver aquifer near Pavillion, Wyoming and B) a shale gas well in northern Pennsylvania blewout during fracking and spilled thousands of gallons of fracking fluid onto surrounding land.Another concern is methane from the wells polluting either the air or water. A study performedby researchers at Cornell University suggested that up to 7.9% of the methane from wellsescapes to the atmosphere. By not reducing the leak rate of methane to the atmosphere, theenvironmental benefits of burning natural gas as opposed to coal would be eliminated.Sources 1. “Stop Fracking Up Our Waters-New Study Supports Water Contamination Due to Fracking,” EcoWatch, URL: http://ecowatch.org/2012/water-contamination-fracking

analysis of centre of mass for the structure.Teachers of the additional courses also meet regularly with teachers of mainstream courses toidentify aspects of mainstream courses that students typically struggle with, as well askeeping appraised of what is being covered and when. This enables ENGAGE teachers todesign their curricula in a way that provides appropriate scaffolding for students’ learning.Individual student performance is monitored, and, when necessary, students are referred to acounsellor or adviser for support.ResultsA survey was administered to all ENGAGE students at the end of their first year on theprogram. The response rates from those who completed the year were 80% (209/260) for2010 and 67% (238/354) for 2011 b. Table 1 shows

Many girls are confident in their own creative abilities, causing them to be both a) discriminating consumers of marketing material, and b) drawn to activities that play to their artistic strengths. They are attracted to activities that build their confidence, give them the opportunity to express and explore their emotions, and enable them to feel like they are making a positive difference in some way. 5.

significant amounts of published research have focusedon the design and impact of blended “liberal studies in engineering” programs22, 23, 24, 25, 26(sometimes described as B.A. programs in Engineering Studies) similar to the program wedescribe at CPSU, surprisingly little of this research has attended to gender or the computingdisciplines. We believe that it is time to integrate the diverse research focused a) the relationshipsbetween liberal education and B.S. programs in engineering and computer science, b) theintegration of problem- and context-based education in B.S. programs in engineering andcomputer science, c) B.S. programs in engineering and computer science at liberal arts colleges,and d) the recruitment, retention, and success of women
