Introduction The ability to visualize the low frequency AC magnetic field distributions thatoccur in the vicinity of 60 Hz AC electric power generation and transmission equipment ,such as transformers, rotational machines, switchgear and cable ; and to understand thephysical factors that determine these fields ; are very important skills for an electricalengineering technician ( EET ) to have.

In contrast, the representation of women in other fields like law or medicine wasas bad as in engineering thirty years ago but has now almost reached parity. As a result,in the last decade a number of programs have been developed at institutions around the Page 25.1128.2country to identify the factors associated with this consistent under-representation ofwomen in engineering, and to help implement solutions, such as Women in Engineeringprograms.Factors contributing to the under-representation of women students in engineering mayinclude retention: are there significant numbers of students who start out

in your desktop computer, examples of engineering areeverywhere. By encouraging children to look more deeply at the artifacts around them and engagethem in the making of such artifacts, they will be developing their “engineering intuition” andlearning to use this "engineering perspective" as their own. In addition, many of us would likeour children to grow up with the knowledge and skills necessary to get along with others, whichcalls for more of the curriculum to be socially constructed. Systems engineering is such apedagogical model that goes beyond seeing engineering as a design contest between groups ofstudents and into a cooperative venture between all students.

hinderthe development of teacher-student rapport. Additionally, many instructors in engineering disciplines find that their students can oftenmove through a problem satisfactorily, but are unable to articulate the conceptual understandingof material that is just as important as solving problems. The review quizzes described in thispaper are designed to treat this problem by emphasizing concepts through the quizzesthemselves, and then helping students reinforce their understanding of concepts throughconsistent quizzing. The two hypotheses that will be addressed are a) does frequent quizzingincrease student conceptual understanding of the material, and b) does frequent quizzing hurtclass morale and student motivation?

This is a very current and real architectural design problem, one that became a formal modeling assignment for our education majors.

the modern pedagogical practices at the Universityof Dayton are largely focused on undergraduate classes when compared to graduate curriculum.KEEN faculty fellows program offers incentives to teachers to develop or modify existingundergraduate classes to incorporate problem based learning (PBL) and entrepreneurially mindedlearning (EML). As such, efforts are undertaken to expose undergraduate students to the actualskillset and mindset they need to be successful in their career and not just possess the technicalability to solve a well-posed and well-framed problem.
