this paper. First, the present study with a largersample size builds upon the preliminary results obtained in reference 8 and reflects the success ofthe inquiry-based approach rather than the abilities of a particular cohort of students. Second, theresults demonstrate that the learning experience in an inexpensive inquiry-based approachcompares favorably with other approaches that are reflected in the national study. Overall wefound DIRECT to be a useful pedagogical tool to assess student learning in an introductoryphysics laboratory.References1.

Others work in quality control and manufacturing.In addition, on the basis of the generic definitions of the engineer and engineering technicians,the BLS provides corresponding descriptions of the civil engineer and civil engineeringtechnician. It should be noted that the BLS states that technicians assist engineers. However, TheBLS does not provide a separate category for engineering technologists. What does the absenceof the engineering technologist category mean? To answer this question, the author reviewed theBLS literature about the education and training required for engineers and engineeringtechnicians.
