The responses for social support and barriers were assessed on a 5-point scale, with four potential choices: 1- Not likely at all, 2- A little likely, 3- Moderately likely, 4- Quite likely; and 5- Extremely likely. The higher the score indicated the greater the extent to which students‘ experienced or expected to experience varying types of social support or support barriers. Descriptive analysis revealed that on average, students reported that receiving support from family and friends was most likely to occur during their engineering education (see Table 3). The analysis also

States. 4 Undergraduate engineering students have been reported to be some of themost likely to engage in academic dishonesty. 5-7 Whether this is due to academic pressures, peerpressure or perceptions, faculty involvement, or other factors, engineering students have self-reported dishonest behavior in over 80% of students. 4 Thus, academic dishonesty in engineeringis particularly worrisome as significant consequences to society may result from this dishonesty.Unfortunately, academically dishonest behavior by the students often leads to higher grades forthe student. Not only is this an unfair representation of the students’ knowledge and worth whichmisrepresents the student’s institution, but also is an unfair assessment when used as a predictor

We visit the CCs and speak with their students in themathematics and science classes, make high school visits with CC representatives to encouragemore students to consider engineering and attend their local CC, help provide scholarships bothat the CC and the university for transfer students, smooth the transfer process, and work to meetTinto’s four conditions for

Continued efforts are needed to identify the perceptions andneeds of non-respondents and is a subject of current attention.In conclusion, this paper revealed information that can be used to improve the implementationand design future resources for supplemental instruction for freshmen engineers.

, technological literacy is absolutely essential in order to allowpeople to function and be productive in our competitive society today.Martin14 (2002) stated that “In a democratic society, technological literacy has individual,societal, and environmental implications…. As individuals, people need (a) to developtechnological abilities so they will better know how to use products; (b) to assess the impacts oftechnological actions; and (c) to develop better decision-making abilities in order to determinewhich technological system or process to use or not use (p.52).” According to the InternationalTechnology Education Association, ITEA3, (1996) “The technologically literate personrecognizes the possibilities advances in technology create and the choices

. Since the syllabus did not clearly specify a grading scheme for writing quality in particular, the quality of the lab reports was below standard. As a trade-off, the decision was made to remove a great deal of points from unacceptable work, with an offer to restore them if corrections were made by the student. In this manner, the student is not penalized for initially expecting low standards, but they must still improve the quality of their work to acceptable levels if they want to obtain full credit. The authors also realized the importance of the assessment scheme on the quality of student learning, and it was noticed that the students’ training on technical writing was not emphasized enough in the practice

research done in situ, we struggled with balancing the tradeoffsbetween the best data collection process for student learning and the best process for rigorousresearch. Having students work in pairs to develop their rankings should require the students toarticulate their reasoning and think more deeply about the task. The result is then a negotiated setof rankings that belongs to the pair of students, rather than the individual students, which makesit difficult to analyze the correlation between individuals’ performances on assessments with therankings. We considered giving the ranking task as a homework assignment, but that option hasseveral disadvantages. First, we could not observe them as they performed the task and thereforewe would lose a

Limitations and Future OpportunitiesWhile overall successful in student learning outcomes, interest, and engagement, we identifiedseveral limitations and future opportunities. • Students spend much of the course building prescribed circuits and relatively little time designing new circuits. This was required due to the short 7-week course duration, and students reported appreciation of the well-defined and well-organized labs given the fast pace. The open-ended sensor project does give a small experience in circuit design, construction, testing, and troubleshooting. However, a longer 14-week semester or 10

careful assessment of these factors is an important first step when considering theimplementation of a control system in a student laboratory.We feel that the benefits of a centralized control system to student education in ChemicalEngineering are significant. In particular, we emphasize that such systems simplify instructionalaspects, allow both modeling and experimentation to be done with the same software andprotocols, and provide students with needed practical experience handling not only processcontrol but also control loops and instrumentation.
