addressed at the conclusion of the data analysis - survey validity and reliability. Validity is thelevel with which a survey measures each survey topic. Reliability is determining how consistentthe survey is over time. In addition, the level of correlation survey items have with each oneanother will be investigated. If a survey is unreliable, survey statistics will move up and downwithout respondent opinions really changing. What may look like a significant change may bedue to the unreliability of the survey method. The study's experimental group, mu2, consists of responses from employees whoseorganizations currently employ a generic performance evaluation method. The control group,mu1, represents responses by individuals whose organization

BackgroundAt San Jose State University, engineering students must pass several courses in Englishcomposition (English 1A/1B) as well as an upper division technical writing course (E100W).The General Education curriculum contains a significant writing component, andengineering students are given specific instruction in engineering writing in several requiredclasses, such as Introduction to Engineering and Engineering Reports (E10 and E100W). Inthese classes they use a variety of formats, including memos, letters, engineering reports andjournal papers. They use these written formats in other, discipline-specific, courses. TheChemical and Materials Engineering (CME) department administers two such classes, the

the term project is embodied in the experimental requirement;the term project requires the student to spend additional time (than the usual laboratory time)working with equipment and instrumentation in the effort to generate data and answers to thequestions raised by the term paper topic. Typically, the student goes through the usuallaboratory exercises with the approach that there is no need for mastery of the instrumentation.The term paper provides a setting to change this; to be able to successfully implement the termproject, the student would need to correctly operate the equipment and instruments. Theinstructor facilitates this by providing specialized training on the equipment and instrumentationfor the term project. This specialized or
, intuition, and inventiveness. Might the preceding also generally characterize engineering education? This is generallythe case in given typical engineering curricula. Betty Edwards succinctly said it this way:“Half a brain is better than none: a whole brain would be better.” Accordingly, discussionof possible ways to discover and enhance right-brain capabilities in engineeringeducation and in practice is warranted. Let’s explore more use of the right hemisphere—while not taking away from the value of the left hemisphere.Whole-Brain ToolsFortunately, many methods are available to assist individuals and groups in engagingboth “cranial” hemispheres so that they can more creatively and innovatively address

Course objectivesinclude the introduction of modern data acquisition systems and techniques, the development andpresentation of statistical techniques for data analysis, and the introduction of formal uncertaintyanalysis. These three course topics are employed in nearly every rigorous engineering experimentthat a student would perform in either an industrial setting or during advanced graduate research.However, most laboratory experiments are ‘canned’ and handed to the student with a detailedprocedure

would be expected to analyze information system related projects from engineeringpoint of view. Engineering economic analysis techniques play major roles in the evaluation ofprivately and publicly funded projects. The present understanding of engineering graduates isthat these techniques are sufficient and applicable to all privately funded projects. However,there are pieces of evidence that these techniques are not sufficient for evaluating informationsystem projects. Most of these projects have unique characteristics that are not found in otherprivately or publicly financed and operated businesses. Hence, there is a need to teacheconomics of information systems within engineering economic analysis curriculum to educatestudents about
