announcing that California was at risk of losing the lead itonce enjoyed. Several factors were cited as contributing with the highlight being the inability ofthe state’s educational system to produce a technologically skilled workforce in sufficientnumbers and capable of sustaining the R&D activity. Findings included that a significantnumber of Californians did not have the education needed to benefit from job opportunitiescreated in the high tech sector and that Californians graduating from the K-12 educational systemand community college system were simply not adequately prepared to enter the high tech arena.Several recommendations were advanced to address the findings.More recent studies continue to illuminate California’s problem.

correlations exist betweenthe total number of behaviors and final grade, but not all behaviors are created equal. Behaviorsthat force students to closely examine their data, present it graphically, and describe theircalculations are associated with higher grades. The correlations between grades and individualbehaviors vary from lab to lab. Open ended lab assignments tend to lead to high level behaviors,but only if students are coached to see lab reports as research projects, rather than homeworkassignments. Even at the junior or senior level, students need explicit instruction in what isexpected in terms of connecting their data to theory and previous work. Future studies areplanned to develop effective interventions to promote these high level

Inquiry-based pedagogies that can foster the learning of these difficult concepts areneeded.

Past research shows that engineering studentscan be resistant to the introduction and addition of global citizenship components into theclassroom including social responsibility, environmental sustainability, and economic equality.While some studies have delved qualitatively into how engineering undergraduates approach,accept, and understand global values including sustainability, this study seeks to evaluate aquantitative assessment tool in its ability to measure global citizenship values in a
