This course comprises of alecture and laboratory component where the students are expected to transform theirtheoretical knowledge into a viable team laboratory design and present the results to theentire class.

break from their coursework. The extrinsic motivation includedimproving student marketability and enhancing the chance of obtaining a better job. In addition,the researchers found that some factors support students’ involvement in professional activities,for example, advisor and faculty encouragement, and the role models of senior students oralumni, while some factors prevent student participation, such as scheduling issues and lack ofthe information about the opportunity.Institutional characteristics. Wilson et al. examined the influence of institutional characteristicson engineering, computer science, and math students’ involved in extracurricular activities.16Over 1,200 students from five institutions—a HBCU, a small teaching institution, a
variety of learning styles. Of greater concern, engineeringeducation methodology is not as attractive to woman as it is to men. Engineering education hasbecome too mathematical, too abstract, and is not employing recent pedagogical trends, such asproblem based learning, and cooperative learning, in large scale. The impact of this has beennoted in industry, which has clearly had a major impact on the development of new accreditationcriteria for undergraduate engineering programs. Starting in 2000, ABET’s (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology) Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs has stressedthe need for engineering programs to initiate cooperative learning environments with teamworkand communication skill development, as well
doing community-focused work and previously worked for 5 years asa faculty member in institution’s office focused on community engagement and service learning.In all of this work, I have come to believe that education and access issues are largely influencedby entrenched systemic issues. Addressing these issues will require sustained investment bymany stakeholders, and I believe that the institutions of higher education, especially land grantinstitutions, and large regional industries engaging together over a sustained period of time withschool administrators at the county-level and educators in the schools is a valuable start.Paraphrasing work from organizational theory and collaboration scholar Barbara Gray,collaboration involves forming
as well as increasing students’ interest and attitude towards geotechnical engineering.Another student noted that: “The site visit was useful because it helped me see some of thedifficulties concerning soil quality that engineers face. It was also helpful to see some of theimplications to the design of foundations and even the structure above grade”. Another studentequally commented: “In engineering, practical experience is highly valued. When constructing anew building, it helps to know the problem that might arise when placing a new structure on afoundation. The site tour that the Geotechnical Engineering class took to the construction site ofthe new Morgan State University Campus building was useful in gaining knowledge that will helpme

As different tables report their observations,students immediately see the differences. Sensors and intuitives can encounter conflicts in a team setting. Sensors oftenview intuitives as wasting time. Intuitives may see sensors as unimaginative. Forexample, an intuitive may want to focus on the overall design of a new frame for an all-terrain vehicle. A sensor might be concerned with how fasteners will attach to the frame,while, to the intuitive, that is just a minor detail that will be worked out in the end.

Page 23.1327.4 Prototype the System Test the SystemCapstone courses at the Air Force Academy are two semester in length and are taught during thesenior year. Teams are composed of 2 to 11 students with the average team size being 6.4.Projects are funded by private companies, multiple external DOD organizations, the Air ForceAcademy, and other federal agencies. Frequently the result that these sponsor agencies find mostvaluable is the innovative ideas offered by students. Because the students are relatively new tothe engineering field they frequently approach problems from a different perspective than thosewho have spent years working these issues. The heavy emphasis on creative solutions makes itimperative that students avoid
much and they won't be able to do as much manual labor. But I think part of it is almost like a self-fulfilling prophesy, because I also noticed in the lab where I had no problem lifting up water jugs and things like that, all of the women would say, "Oh, why don't you just have a man do it? This is-- that's man's work, not women--not for women."One final and most obvious challenge for female participants is that their physical appearancesare drastically different from women in the host culture. This is a challenge to all globalprograms for potential safety concerns that are not faced by male participants.
