In the fourth WI, a new approach to thegender equity presentation was taken by enlisting three Ph.D. science education majors and onePh.D. education policy and leadership major. These four students all had recent and extensiveexperience in teaching K-12 science, thus had a natural understanding and empathy of the needsand everyday challenges of the teachers and counselors in the WI program.The training was organized around practical applications of gender equity in curriculum,instruction, and classroom climate.

retentionrate in the COE historically has been lowest during the first two years (i.e., 64% and 70%,respectively for data from 1997 to 2004).Components of the ERC were evaluated using a mixed-methods approach includingforced-choice, Likert-type, and open-ended survey items and focus groups. Overall, the freshmanstudent retention increased after the first year of implementation of the ERC by 7% overhistorical retention rates. This study found quantitative and qualitative evidence for theeffectiveness of the ESD residence halls, Peer Mentor Program, Peer Tutor Program, and theESD residence hall courses. However, evidence suggests that the revisions to the mathcurriculum did not contribute to improved student retention.IntroductionResearch on engineering

Themain difference will be that the Hendrix course will be scheduled during the academicyear. The main restraint for Wellesley to produce a regularly scheduled class is the lack ofdedicated laboratory space. Hendrix College has just built a new science facility, and hasdedicated a room for this robotics course. Another change will be in the programmingdetails. At the time of the Wellesley course development, the best programming platformwas “Handy Boards”. Since 1996, Lego has produced the Lego Mindstorms package,which includes the programmable RCX brick

Aprimary advantage of PLM methods is that the overall requirements for the system areclearly and unambiguously recorded before any thought is given to the actual design ofany component. After these requirements are finished, any component that meets them isby definition correct, and any that does not will not suffice. In the case of such acurriculum, the requirements can all be based on a combination of

Criterion 5 states that “[s]tudents must be prepared for engineering practice througha curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiplerealistic constraints.” However, the definition of what constitutes an “appropriate engineeringstandard” has been subjected to various interpretations, both wide and narrow. Arguments havebeen made that all capstone design projects must include engineering standards from theappropriate professional society: IEEE Standards for electrical and computer engineers, ASMEStandards for mechanical engineers, and so on. However, members of the educationalcommunity have objected to this approach
