has extensive experience in performance fund- ing, large data set analysis, program review, assessment and student services in higher education. One of his greatest strengths lies in analyzing data related to student learning outcomes and, therefore, to im- proving institutional effectiveness. His work with MIDFIELD includes research on obstacles students face that interfere with degree completion and, as well, how institutional policies affect degree programs. His group’s work on transfer students, grade inflation, and issues faced across gender and ethnicity have caused institutions to change policies so that they may improve.

Within suchan environment collaboration between SSP architects and technologists can be tenuous and lowerin priority than other responsibilities. As a means to provide increased interaction, and of course,to bring benefits to the students, a number of industrial, academic, and not-for-profit subjectmatter experts were solicited to provide mentoring to the summer interns.Acceptance rate by mentors was very high. During the request for their service it was stressedthat their overall effort was expected to be just 4 hours spread across 10 weeks, including: (1)editing and comments on a 2-4 page Research Plan to be completed by each student at theconclusion of week 2; (2

groupidentity can promote a desire to protect one’s group identity against those in other groups.Moreover, those who behave inconsistently with an ideal self will be made to feel anxious aboutfacts that highlight their incongruous behavior [6].This identity theory suggests that when self-proclaimed creative people gather in groups, theywill deeply nurture each other’s creativity and at the same time excoriate other groups’ creativeefforts. Therefore, while individual creativity is difficult to appraise, a group culture can have apredictable effect upon the individual members’ creative expression.

In a 2005 report published by the Irish Central Statistics Office it was foundthat around 95% of Irish High School students taking higher level engineering,construction studies and technical drawing examinations were male. The patterncontinued at third level with men accounting for around 80% of graduates in engineering,manufacturing and construction5. This trend is then carried forward into engineeringcareers. In Ireland we can find no statistics for women in engineering careers but

The statistics showthat the two main groups within the minority population, Blacks and Hispanics, do notearn as many bachelor degrees nor engineering degrees as the remainder of the minoritygroup. Another disheartening statistic is the next generation of minority students, the highschool graduates. The statistics do not give much hope for the future. The futurepopulation trends have been predicted by the U.S. Census Bureau, and if the current stateof minorities in engineering is not improved, the field of engineering will suffer.

Such products are conceptualized and designed within a LegoCAD System from a subset of the available Lego building blocks. Assembly sequences forbuilding these products are carried out by means of robotic devices. Process planning andtrajectory planning software are used to determine the build sequence and

Answers to the first question arise through development andstudy of models of computation. During the undergraduate experience we introduce students tothe foundations of computation, which address the first question through abstract models of thecomputer.
