Although there may be other factors involvedin the increased retention, it appears that the use of pair programming certainly did not hurtretention.

Twenty-four areas of skill, knowledge,attitude and ability (SKAA’s) were developed.Phase III – QFD Implementation - Five QFD Matrices were decided upon: (1) Stakeholder vs.SKAA, (2) SKAA vs. Core Course (for each major), (3) SKAA vs. Methodology, (4) SKAA vs.Assessment Tool, and (5) Assessment Tools vs. Core Courses (for each major).

Real Exam (lab session 2). Students are asked to answer multiple-choice questions (10-30% of the grade) and to provide a programming solution to an assignedproblem (70-90% of the grade). Students plan their time accordingly within the one-hour classtime to complete both. Another approach is to use the first lab session as a small-class review,encouraging the students to be more vocal than they might in a large lecture. Students areencouraged to prepare for the review session and bring pertinent questions from their studies.Practice exams are reviewed, with rationale given for the answers. The second lab session isbroken down into a short (20-30 questions) multiple-choice / short-answer section online and alonger programming portion on paper

Thiscould occur due to a greater sense of accomplishment through the mastery-based approach, aswell as the frequent testing and retesting freedom available to students.(2) Students will have a greater sense of belonging in the course and program compared witha traditional assessment. This could occur from a greater sense of accomplishment with mastery.However, a lesser sense of belonging could arise as students that are not excelling see othersmoving through the coursework at a faster pace.To study the effect of MBL on classroom anxiety and belonging, surveys will be given tostudents enrolled in circuit analysis courses

22% [1]. Going forward, allprocessors (except some small embedded processors for specialized devices) will have multiplecores in their central processing units (CPUs). Moreover, attached GPU cards with largenumbers of cores have become very attractive for high performance computing and can provideorders of magnitude speedup over using the CPU alone [2, 3]. To address this space, Intel hasrolled out its Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture [4]. Systems with a small number ofcores such as present multicore processors can use a shared memory model whereas as thenumber of cores increase, hierarchical user-managed memory and distributed memory modelscan be expected.

and Global Competence In 2008, the university at large began to explore ‗ongoing assessment.‘ Each academicprogram was asked to identify individual, specific outcomes, and methods to assess thoseoutcomes on a regular basis. Academic units all across campus were encouraged to thinkcritically about what knowledge, skills and attitudes successful students displayed. Identifyingthose traits then allowed faculty to create a set of traits or skills that all students within theprogram should attain by the time they graduate. Those skills or traits then were set as outcomesthat each program could strive for. In the Department of Technology Systems, one of the skillsfaculty identified as important for students was the ability to communicate

graduation of minority students in engineering, sciences and technology areas [4,5]The College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) at the University of Michigan-Dearborn (UM-D) has had a very small percent of minority students enrolled in its undergraduateprograms up until early part of 1990s. Although the campus is located within a close proximityof the city of Detroit, which produces the largest number of minority high school graduates in thestate, the CECS did not have even a representative number of minority students in its program. Adecision was made, supported by the Michigan Mandate, to increase, retain and graduate moreminority students in engineering and very closely related disciplines.

The reason forselecting this method is as follows.(1) This indicator has been used in a relatively classical manner, and hence, there are many relatedstudies and it is easy to obtain evidence.(2) To measure reactions during work and conversation, it is desirable to use a small device ratherthan a large one.(3) It is desirable to be able to construct a wearable system at a low cost to simultaneously recordmultiple devices.(4) As it is desirable to obtain
