with is that the course instructor’s evaluation of project work,and the student’s perception of their work, will not always be the same. Colwell13 reports thatinstructor’s evaluations do not necessarily have a high correlation with how much students havelearned, or perceive that they have learned. We do not claim that the results of this analysisprove in any manner a strong connection between the two perceptions, but there are interestingpoints raised by the results. A second consideration is, as Davis14 states, that while self-reporteddata alone is insufficient to demonstrate achievement of outcomes, surveys do provide usefulsnapshots of student perceptions that can be further investigated and supported by additionalassessments.

This problem is well-documented [2] especially in academia. For instance, here are some statistics from the website:http://www.facultyforthefuture.org “The need for the focus on underrepresented groups is well documented.

Whether learned in civilengineering, architecture, or both, individuals have developed into leaders in theprofessional world. From this fact, one could deduct that the specific path of educationwhen considering a trans-professional career is not as important as the individual’sactions.Conclusion After investigating programs which entail aspects of civil engineering andarchitecture, the recommendation of this study is for a person with interests in both careerpaths to pursue an undergraduate degree in engineering, specifically civil engineering toensure proper professional

Consequently, analyses completedby students are usually limited to single-degree-of-freedom analyses such as the bounce andjounce of a quarter-car model that remains in contact with the ground.It is not the intention to suggest that „black box‟ simulations are necessarily inappropriate toolsfor learning.

programs for women and men enrolled at a particular educational institution, on theother hand, prove more problematic. Some researchers have suggested, for example, that maleand female students might learn computer programming differently.25 Consistent with Title IX,could an educational institution offer separate programming classes for men and women?Probably not. Following the logic that informs decisions on recruitment and admissionspractices, an educational institution should first seek to determine whether offering separateclasses is the only way – not just the most convenient or easiest way – to ensure that womensucceed in computer programming. Perhaps all students would benefit from access to alternativeteaching methods, even if those
