For the projects with a very challenging nature, teams with diversepersonalities and complementary skills work more effectively. Teams with similarpersonality are more efficient when the projects require high team cohesiveness. Whenwe take a look at the term projects in engineering courses, it is not well known which oneis more effective.

Even the engineers who work with highlydiscontinuous functions first need to study the elementary functions. A definition in terms ofepsilons requires a proof in terms of epsilons. The function definition provided in almost all highschool and college texts used in differential calculus courses includes nowhere differentiablefunctions. In no way is this logical. In a differential calculus course, functions should beintroduced as mostly smooth curves. This would naturally lead to all the concepts needed byengineers. The functions of calculus

Another possible drawback of online classes is thatsome students might have a fear of technology, which probably stems from notcompletely understanding how the material can be efficiently delivered online. Onlineeducation is not without challenges from the educator point of view either. For example,teachers in an online learning environment not only have to understand the material verywell but they need to have some technical expertise on the tools available in an onlineenvironment.

are aprimary factor inhibiting gender parity (De Cohen 2009). In other words, the problem beginslong before women students enter university.Numerous theories help explain women’s decision not to enroll in engineering. Supply sidetheories assume a mismatch between women’s perceptions of the field and their ability toachieve their life goals (Ceci, Williams, and Barnett 2009). In particular, women may come tothe conclusion that a highly demanding engineering career would be too constraining on theirability to birth and raise children—a perception that may be exacerbated in national contextswhere public childcare systems have not been developed. Other theories suggest that there is areduced demand for women based on institutionalized attitudes
