What type of data might be useable and useful for educational researchers and evaluators when measuring the impact of pre-college computing activities? and 2. What type of data might be useable and useful for practitioners who are designing and/or

Motivation and Vision:Introductory courses tend to be required for lower-division students and these courses act asprerequisites for upper-division courses that tend to be more discipline-specific and thus, may bemore engaging for students. Introductory courses provide fundamental information andknowledge needed for upper-division courses. This framework continues throughout anacademic course map, forming a linear advancement.

The writingcourses were developed over 40 years ago as a “one size fits all” answer to a large generaleducation requirement at a small school that produced fewer than 60 engineers annually. Withthe growth of engineering students in the past decade, The Citadel developed the technicalwriting and communication course to meet the demand of engineering faculty and industrypartners. While humanities-based writing courses continue to be included in engineering studentdevelopment, these

) graduates’ attributes and current employers’ expectations.Therefore, with the growing demands from industry, it has become vital for engineeringprograms to focus on equipping students with non-technical or professional knowledge and skills[1]. Brunhaver et al. explain that with technical knowledge and skills becoming “less central orless sufficient” for performing engineering work, professional knowledge and skills have becomemore significant [2]. As such, programs are now tasked with widening their focus towards notonly ensuring that their graduates obtain adequate in-depth discipline specific knowledge,decision making and problem-solving skills but also towards ensuring that graduates areacquainted with ample informal pedagogies to support the

Thus, we arrived at a prototype that is 1) cheapand easy to build, 2) relatively small and easy to install, 3) interchangeable with most plumbingsystems in bathrooms and kitchens, resizability would also account for this, 4) environmentallyconscious materials. Our device is a water wheel that can be fitted onto many different types ofpipes, and produces a small amount of energy. We believe that with many of these within a buildingwe would be able to generate a reasonable amount of energy for utilization for any purpose.IntroductionToday, people are using electricity more than ever, and as climate change is increasingly creepingup on us, finding new sustainable sources

However, the mechanisms by which this occurs are unclear.After preliminary investigation, teacher confidence appeared to be one metric that may beaffected by participation in our research program. Quantitative survey data fail to confirm thishypothesis, though. Qualitative essay data suggest external factors that impact confidence andthus our interpretation of survey data.1.
