Thus, performance indicators provide the SO committee with targeted, specific,capabilities and/or experiences for which to assess student attainment of the SO in the Program.Our Program’s current set of performance indicators, for illustration, is given in Appendix A.(In our Program’s enumeration scheme, SO-3.b is the second performance indicator for SO 3.)Performance indicators are useful, and five observations based on our Program’s experience areoffered here. The first observation is that the text of a given performance indicator should hewclosely to the specific ABET language for the SO. The goal for a set

Also, to raise students’interests in dimensioning and tolerancing, an example of stacked tolerance is introduced. A keydesign example is then given to explain the limits of only using traditional dimensioning andtolerancing, and the need of ASME GD&T Standards is finally introduced.

The pre-activity survey and part 1 of the post-activity survey asked students to define,describe, and diagram how they think mathematicians/scientists/engineers create a mathematicalmodel (see Appendix B for survey questions). The analysis of these questions involved adirected content analysis approach [20]. One researcher used the six steps of the GAIMMEmodeling process [15] for the theoretical framework.

Students are recruited as incoming freshmen, and are eligible for retention in theSEECS program so long as program requirements are met, including maintenance of a minimum 3.0GPA. As the grant activity has proceeded, it has been noted that students who fail to achieve a grade of“B” or better in Calculus I, Calculus II or Physics 1 have typically failed to maintain an overall 3.0 GPAas well. There is thus an interest for SEECS in providing additional academic assistance to our studentsin support of GPA maintenance, leading to better employment and/or graduate school opportunities

Do women feel more competitive on their team whenthey are paired with one or more other female students? Ultimately, the aim is to determineexactly why women who are isolated on teams have been found to be more satisfied than womenwho are paired on teams. Eventually, these findings can be used to inform team formation, tobetter scaffold team projects, and to better understand female students’ negative experiences inorder to make teamwork a better experience for all students.References[1] B.
