assesses how instructional technologies reinforce studentlearning and critical thinking.1 Introduction Using current research in cognition and learning theory as a guide, instructional technologiescan be utilized to enhance classroom teaching.1 While much of the early research found “nosignificant difference” with instructional technology, current research is moving beyond thatsimplistic premise in order to address appropriate coupling of pedagogical approaches andinstructional technologies. The devices presenting material are merely delivery mechanisms anda more compelling issue is how do they facilitate learning and how do students’ confidence,ability, and willingness to engage with instructional tools influence the successful integration

and engineering for girls.Stepping out of the school system, higher education presents its own obstacles. Until thetwentieth century, almost exclusively, men populated science and engineering, and, untilrecently, the profession prevented women from creating a niche for themselves in the maledominated technical world. For several decades, society treated the study of technology, "men’sterritory."19 Until World War II and beyond, many leading engineering schools, includingRensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Georgia Institute of Technology, and California Institute ofTechnology, remained closed to women. The few women admitted to Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology (MIT) struggled against a hostile intellectual and social environment

Unfortunately, given the small number ofresponses we were unable to provide data for intersections of demographics (e.g. AfricanAmerican/Black domestic males).Our second goal was met through our regression analysis. For anxiety and depression, we sawthat three of the explanatory covariates had a statistically significant relationship with a decreasein mental health problems and therefore less severe reporting of anxiety and depression(encouraging dialogue only statistically significant with depression).

minimum competencies thought to be essential for life in English and Mathshave been designated as numeracy and literacy. Beyond that, however, there have beenmovements in England (1963) and America (1982) to develop cultural literacy to ensure thatindividuals have a knowledge of a wide range of specific facts without which a person willnot be able to enjoy successful communication [13:14]. Thus, if to live in a society that isdominated by technology a person has to have a wide range of knowledge about technology,is technological literacy the means by which those facts are acquired? And, what contains thenumber of facts to be learnt? But to concentrate on facts is to ignore the question ofcompetencies, that is, what competencies does a person

Originally, only engineering students were admitted and included inthe summer program were a six-week introduction to entrepreneurship and a six week on-campus product design experience.

There were five majorelements of this redesign that we would like to highlight: flipping the course structure,replacement of a midterm exam for a community contributions grade, increase in–andincentivization of–peer-to-peer learning throughout the course, assignment to fixed learningteams (of 4-5 students) for the duration of the

In this work, we use the principles of critical race theory (CRT) and intersectionalityto frame and understand the experiences of racially minoritized engineering faculty inentrepreneurship programming. CRT says that racism is normal in American society [9]. In thiswork, using CRT as a lens helps us to examine the impact of race and racism in society andaddress hegemonic power [10]. In addition, intersectionality was used to understand criticalintersections of difference (e.g., racism, sexism, classism, ableism, etc.) to uncover recurringinstances of disempowerment that affect the everyday lived experiences of individuals [11-12

In particular, remote areas and underprivilegedareas will have less access time and receive poorer content (mostly text). In the meantime, DBSaccess in the DirecTV, meant to reach areas not covered by cable television, is a digital broadcastmedium, mostly used for the delivery of multiple digitally compressed video streams. Furtherdeployments of DirectPC also make the digital broadcast medium suitable for software and datadownloading.However, beyond DirectPC, little has been done to use DBS for the delivery of data

The science educator also indicated he likesthe fact that OPTX is self-contained and that no set-up is needed for the demonstration orexperimentation. In order for the kit to be successful, the science educator recommended that itwould be important to provide a very comprehensive teacher training program on the use ofOPTX beyond a manual.

During the initial phase of the literature, no oneembraced PSI more enthusiastically than the community of engineering educators. Massiveamounts of space were devoted to PSI in engineering education journals and conferenceproceedings. And yet, by the 1980’s and 90’s, when I managed to progress through my ownengineering education, I failed to encounter even the least reminder that PSI had ever existed.Today when I mention PSI to engineering educators, they are either totally unaware of themethod, or they clap their hands over aging ears and run screaming from the room.
