article is scholarly and whether it follows citation or styleguidelines. Finally, students can use the criteria for validity as scholarly research and what waslearned in the discussions to write their critique reviews.Tips 1. Students need exposure to many good examples of the type of writing that they are expected to produce. They need to read and critically examine those examples, and have samples of the type of work available to them to review in courses. 2. Feedback to students should emphasize what is done right as well as areas for improvement. Feedback should be given often. Try to guide the development of the writing by having the student address fundamental flaws in one draft, then mechanics in the next, then

The experiment took place in a required training course that is part of themechanical engineering curriculum at a private university in Puerto Rico where the studentpopulation is essentially 100% Hispanic, i.e., Spanish is their first language. The primaryobjective of the experiment was to differentiate between language difficulties (the FE Exam is inEnglish) versus weaknesses in formulating a problem. The motivation for the experimentstemmed from the fact that the passing rates in the FE Exam in Puerto Rico are approximatelyhalf than the national average reported by NCEES, which typically reports a

There are severalfundamental issues, and we provide some solutions to these fundamental issues by reforming theIntroduction to Engineering course.The first fundamental issue is the open admission to the general population of students withdifferent mathematical skills. The curriculum of the engineering programs is much morerigorous than the other majors at VSU. Specifically, all of the engineering programs at VSU areaccredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). To maintain theaccreditation, the engineering programs are required to follow a very vigorous curriculum.Therefore, the students with weak mathematical background have difficulty to satisfy therequirements and change their major

A sequence of workshop topics were given to introduce the fundamentals ofrobotics science and the basic components of a robotics system, including hardware, software,programming, sensors, and control.

It must also be noted this finding is in the context of urban American Indianstudents, not students living in Native Nations.Bradly (1987) conducted work in the same realm of culture-based education for NativeAmerican students by investigating the use of culture in teaching mathematics. This workintroduced the idea of “identity accomplishment confusion,” where culture compromises thelearning of fundamental skills. Although this report provides examples of how teaching methods(e.g., peer learning) have had positive results in teaching fundamental mathematics amongNative American students, it concedes that culturally infused methods have not been evaluated.This study also acknowledges Native Americans cannot and should not be

decades, one of the top priorities forAmerica’s higher education leaders is to get more students into college. The second priority is tograduate students that are competent in their field of study. In a recent national study, only twoof five minority students who enroll in engineering programs graduate with a baccalaureatedegree in engineering, as compared to two of three non-minority students. Another nationalstudy found that 54 percent of students entering four-year colleges in 1997 had a degree six yearslater, with even a lower percentage for Hispanics and Blacks. The barriers to minority studentretention continue to be: the cost of education, isolating campus environments, a lack of peer andfaculty engagement, and inadequate math and science

sequential progression through a number of prerequisites until eventually reaching thehighest available undergraduate courses or graduate research. This approach was presented as though itwere the only available curriculum. Through the expansion of education as a result of the G.I.

This approach is lacking twoimportant aspects that support stance of colonialization. One is that it provides no connection betweennonmainstream students and cultural background or needs that they may bring to the classroom. Thesecond is that it does not readily admit that these cultural variations
