Finally, I present the research community with areas for furtheracademic study.IntroductionProblemThere is a dearth of knowledge pertaining to graduate students with disabilities. Publicationsregarding the enrollment, retention, and graduation rates of this population are scarce. Similarly,little is known about the retention and graduation rates of graduate students with disabilities [1],[2]. More generally, there is a gap in knowledge

Thus, our sample does notproportionally represent the population of U.S. engineering doctoral students

thatstudents (and faculty!) don’t fall behind. Motivating timely submissions can be done via incentive,disincentive, or both—typically, an instructor chooses a policy that works for them and stays withthat throughout a course.However, courses vary widely in terms of subject matter, expected workload, type of deliverable,and more. Comparing late policies across courses involves a significant variable: the course itself.As such, we set out to study the impact of late policies on submission behavior for a particularcourse by rotating among them within the same offering. The premise here was that by holdingthe students, instructors, and content constant, it may be possible to then attribute outcomes andbehavior more precisely to the late policy in use at

that such a community is apragmatic and effective means of educating students as these students get “involved in thinking,questioning, and actively seeking knowledge” [11]. But to launch such a community, there hasto be some guidance and structure for students to participate, as well as some allure to students inknowing they will benefit from participating within the learning community. Students tend totrust the guidance of faculty when it comes to matters concerning scientific writing. Facultymembers in turn can generally empathize with the trials and tribulations of writing that graduatestudents endure [2] and can also recognize that these students need more writing supportresources at their disposal. With this in mind, an initiative by four

According to the University atBuffalo Regional Institute, growth in clean energy technologies and manufacturing in recent yearshas increased the demand for engineers and technicians trained in these areas [1].This paper summarizes survey and interview findings, recommends a curriculum for teaching theskills essential to clean energy technicians, and emphasizes the transferability of skills to servemultiple disciplines.

how to avoid paradigm paralysis.III.2 Working in TeamsAfter a brief introduction at the first class meeting, students are divided into groups of six orseven. They then spend a few minutes getting acquainted with one another. Each student is thenasked to stand and introduce all of the other students at his/her table. At subsequent classmeetings during the first three weeks of the semester, new groups are formed at the beginning ofthe class period and the exercise is repeated. After the first three weeks most of the studentsknow one another and, because of their familiarity, are more comfortable when assigned to ateam. Faculty participate in this process and get on a first-name basis with the students.Team problem solving exercises are used

This shift was attributed to the collaborative structure of the Hackathon, which required ongoing communication and problem-solving. • Skill Development: Many participants noted that the program deepened their understanding of robotics fundamentals and introduced them to new methodologies, such as Design Thinking, which they found particularly valuable for solving complex problems. • Challenges in Team Dynamics: Some students expressed concerns about the varying skill levels among team members, which occasionally placed additional

In order to mitigate those concerns, a few basic tutorials regarding labequipment were provided in 2011 and more robust tutorials are planned for the 2012 course. Itshould be noted that for many students, it is their first time using this equipment. The typical oncampus course has many teaching assistants to assist students, but we frequently found thatstudents would not contact online teaching staff for assistance for the laboratory portion.A point of concern that some faculty may have is the use of a virtual oscilloscope and functiongenerator. It could be claimed that this equipment is not an accurate representation of their "realworld" counterparts. The user interfaces presented are far simpler

Read feminist literature, read literature about the history of racism in the united states. Listen to women who are willing to share their stories and voice their concerns, then believe those women. Don’t let confirmation bias fool you.
