havebeen missed or dismissed.Survey responses were compiled and processed electronically. Most of the questions hadparticipants choose from a list of responses, and could thus be digitally tallied and graphed withrelative ease. The qualitative section at the end presented more of a challenge, however, and thedata from that are still being processed. Many questions throughout the survey allowed space forcomments, particularly if "Other" was an option. We read through these comments, and ifenough respondents wrote in a similar answer, tallied the remark and presented it with thecorresponding quantitative data.The questions/results presented in this paper are primarily those discussed in Todd et al.'s "ASurvey of Capstone Engineering Courses in North
. This paper examines UVa’sITE program, beginning with a review of its origins, goals and objectives. The participantselection process, the program’s structure, and the efforts made to make the experience bothunique and comprehensive, are all also discussed. The paper then examines the program’sefficacy by analyzing surveys and comments received from program participants. In addition, thepaper shows how the ITE program has served as an effective recruiting tool for UVa’s School ofEngineering and Applied Science, that could be emulated by other engineering programs.Finally, the paper presents a critique of the ITE program that includes its demonstrated benefitsas well as recommendations on how to make it even more effective in the future.UVa

choice; pedagogically it is a first opportunity to emphasize themultidisciplinary nature of contemporary engineering practice. Therefore, the pilot course wasdelivered with the expectation that it will replace the current introduction-to-major courses.The course objectives address both first-year pedagogy and the overall first-year experience.Accordingly, this paper is presented in two major parts. The first part describes the design andpilot of the new GEEN 1500 Introduction to Engineering course in Fall 2011. The second part isfocused on a broader look at the first-year experience with research from Teaching as Research(TAR) projects supported by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning(CIRTL).Part 1: Pilot of the New

The RDA, SJSU, the UBIs, and the incubator directors are all part of theentrepreneurial system that characterizes Silicon Valley.IntroductionIn this paper we will briefly review the significant literature on UBIs. The main benefit of the literature, primarilyderived from the articles written by Mian (1996a, 1996b, 1997), was to develop a framework, adapted based on ourexperience with incubators, and used to analyze the four UBIs affiliated with SJSU. Then we will describe thecontext of the current paper (i.e., Silicon Valley and San Jose State University), the four incubators and the RDA, apartner with SJSU in facilitating the development of the
Leaving Engineering: Gender Differences Harriet Hartman, Moshe Hartman Rowan University/Ben-Gurion UniversityAbstractThe paper focuses on retention in an innovative undergraduate engineering program with many“female-friendly” features despite its design as best practices for all students. Both male andfemale “stayers” in the program are compared to “leavers” on a variety of characteristics,including pre-college and family background, grades, satisfaction with the Rowan program,engineering self-confidence, and future expectations about their engineering major and career.Data come from a special 2000-1 survey of all Rowan engineering students.IntroductionStudent

Specifically, the project aims to catalyze changes in the way facultythink about four concepts that are tightly linked to the concept of gender diversity: 1) mentalmodels, 2) development and invitation, 3) personal vision and commitment, and 4) the culture ofengineering and science. The following paper describes change mechanisms, highlighting FLC,and four changes that learning community participants report. Participants a) shifted fromsearching for external
