, 10 students are admitted to PSPE each year.Figure 2 shows the cumulative totals for enrollees, interns, and hires. The conversion rate is asignificant figure of merit to TI and is a prime driving force for continued support. In order toshow TI’s assessment of program outcomes and return on investment, we provide a statementfrom Mr. Mark Gary who is the Business Unit Manager for Linear Power. There are several advantages TI gains from the program. In general, TI recruits from a wide range of domestic and international universities. What stands out is an overall lack of knowledge of what product engineering is and what the job role entails. A large majority of EE graduates all believe they want to be IC designers due the curriculum

Similarly, front-end evaluations presented an opportunity to identifyvalid assessment metrics to measure the impact of a programwhile allowing prompt adjustmentsto the program as needed. In this effort, the project identified several initial user requirements toexpand the ISEAmP.Based on the ethnographic method, the following requirements can be translated into metrics toevaluate a future ambassador program for effectiveness and continuous improvement purposes.POs: 1. Three to four ambassadors are needed to sustain the tasks expected of the ambassadors. Further, the size of the student population should clearly define the number of ambassadors needed for

Capstone ProjectsTo the best of our knowledge, the use of the BDD approach is novel in undergraduateeducation. However, the concept of improving the quality of the Requirements phase inthe Capstone courses has always been an issue. Several engineer instructors advocate theidea that the students communicate the requirements and functional specification clearlywith industry sponsor and faculty advisors. As an example, the work in [9] shows a Page 24.1322.6detailed approach, including assessments, that emphasizes the requirements phase of asoftware project for computer science students.3 - Case Study: “HelpAlert

Regardless of howthe circuits are implemented, it is desirable that the circuits be interesting to the students.This paper presents three of the example circuits that are used in a three credit hour lecturecourse

a design team either slack off or seek control of the project. Intervening in these issues again requires faculty to teach the team members how to approach these management issues, including how to help team members honestly and realistically assess the time and effort they have available for the project (and, correspondingly, how to assign credit for work if the team chooses an unequal distribution), how to respond to and adjust for delays from one or more team members, how to communicate the status of project tasks, and how to hold one another accountable for work.

Fifty four percent of professors and about one third of students (32%)attended a workshop related to using Moodle.The results show that the majority of both engineering professors and students useMoodle in more than one course where students seem more active on Moodle comparedto professors, with the majority of students (80%) login into the system at least once aday. Such a finding is realistic because students are expected to check for any newupdates more frequently than their professors.When compared to other software, the majority of students (90%) believe that Moodle iseasy to use and 76% of the professors agree with that assessment. With the currentgeneration, engineering students are exposed to a variety of software applications

program, faculty at UD closely assessed the students’qualifications and outcomes, and either recommended changes in the curriculum to SHNU, ormodified the UD curriculum for SHNU students. The program morphed from the initial conceptto a “3 + 1” program where students study for three years at Shanghai Normal University,followed by one calendar year (three semesters) at the University of Dayton.Teaching in higher education is quite different between China and the United States. Tocontinue development of the program, SHNU annually sends faculty to UD for a semester tolearn about teaching and student learning in the United States. Additionally, UD annually sendsfaculty to teach at SHNU for a 4-5 week period to help prepare students for learning

The self-efficacy gap has beenfound to be partly responsible for the lower number of women pursuing careers in the STEMfields44.It is important to note that recent qualitative investigations of the influence of first-yearengineering student experience on student beliefs in self-efficacy show that students repeatedlyevaluate their success by assessing performance comparisons with their peers45. This use ofvicarious experiences in the development of self-efficacy is particularly important for peoplewho have little or no prior personal experience upon which to draw, characteristic of first yearengineering students.
