to be successful in mostengineering programs. Therefore, it is particularly important for universities to offer computerliteracy courses to accommodate the needs of such students. In order to ensure the effectivenessof educational programs in computer literacy, assessment must be done on a continuing basis.Such assessment has been difficult due to varying definitions of computer literacy and the lack oftools to adequately assess such programs. This paper describes a pilot study conducted atCalifornia State University, Northridge that was done as an experimental attempt to assess theeffectiveness of computer literacy courses. The specific instruments used as well as othersinvestigated are discussed, and the methods of conducting the

I thought that helpedout a lot, but on the other hand I kind of like [105] because it's just a lot easier…It's justyour regular English class. You just read a paper, write about it and I don't know. I'mmaybe learning in it, but it's not quite as intense…I got an A- in 104 compared to a B in105. I can say I'm a lot less involved in 105. I mean, 104 involved 170 and differentclasses, and so, I kind to had to spend a little more time on it. I kind of just work to get byin 105, because it seems like that's all she really expected

The failure rate was again the highest in analytical subjects.Students who successfully completed a four-year engineering program graduated with abachelor degree in the ‘pass’ grade; there is no degree classification such as first class, secondclass, etc. But, a department might recommend an award of a ‘degree with merit’ to a studentwho does consistently well over the four-year engineering program.

IntroductionThe number of engineering students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) andat the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (SUNY-B) who are involvedin international academic exchanges, incoming and outgoing, has doubled over the last fiveyears. And there are good reasons for this surging interest in studying engineering subjectsabroad. First among them is student enthusiasm, enthusiasm resulting from their educationalexperiences in Europe or Oceania mixed

engineering management is being taught to undergraduatestudents in the U.S. It includes a look at the issues in undergraduate engineering managementprograms and what may be driving the development of these programs. This includes definingengineering management, examining similar programs, and the justification of undergraduateengineering management education.IntroductionIn recent years, engineering management programs have seen rapid growth. However, most ofthis growth has been at the graduate level. These programs have been created to address the factthat many engineers eventually become managers. These engineers for the most part have verylittle, if any, management skills at the bachelor level. Traditionally, companies have promotedengineers that

Many have expressed surprise at the priority given to student success.Evaluations of the learning improvements facilitated by the Center have generally, but notalways, been very positive.

Thecoupling of microelectronic design, materials science and heat dissipation requires the analysisof simulations, the sequencing to experiments with new simulations and the fabrication ofdevices based on initial results. This coupling of the ECE and ME disciplines also requires amultidisciplinary team, with students and faculty who are centered on the two poles of theapplied engineering science.The impact that this interdisciplinary program has on the student and the microelectronicsindustry is of a major significance.

Sophomore and junior women and men engineering studentscompleted one of two tests where the test questions were a subset of previous FEE questions.One test was comprised of primarily difficult questions while the other was made up of mostlyeasy questions. From a stereotype threat perspective, a student’s concern about beingstereotyped by others should be highest when two factors are at play: (i) the student isperforming poorly (e.g. the questions are difficult); and, (ii) a stereotype might be applied to thestudent (e.g. the stereotype that women are not good at math). Based on previous research, it isin this situation that differences between men’s and women’s performance should emerge. Thedata in this study are consistent with this
