iteration.This training is necessary because video is a different medium than typically used in engineeringcommunication (i.e. technical reports or diagrams) and the medium is temporally linear with lessability to provide supplementary information. Thus the choice of content and how it is presentedare key to clear communication. Furthermore multimodal communication is becoming moreimportant in the engineering workforce as customers and others increasingly use videos to accessneeded information.Video projects were supported by two faculty. The course instructor was responsible foradvising students and evaluating technical content while an Instructional Technologist in theuniversity’s library and information technology division taught the weekly one hour

Fromthis process, the researcher moves back and forth between data collection and analysis as ameans to perform analytical checks and streamline the process of theory development. Forexample, a grounded theorist may collect a series of interviews while simultaneously analyzingand adjusting interview protocols that further explore emergent observations and findings.Throughout this constant comparative process, researchers are urged to consider all possibleexplanations emerging from the data as the analysis evolves from a concrete state to one oftheoretically-informed abstraction.

This may include city, county, state, or federal offices, as well as reliefagencies such as Red Cross. Face-to-face interviews and research into disaster records andregional history can provide a good guide to the most likely emergency scenarios.

The methodology employed isthe statistical inferencing of a survey on 138 valid respondents consisting mostly of universitystudents, to assess the information disclosure sensitivity across the various subpopulations. Theresults of these assessments showed that business students and professionals were significantlymore sensitive to information disclosure than other assessed subpopulations.1.0 IntroductionMobile technologies have advantages such as ubiquity, customization, and personalization.According to the Groupe Speciale Mobile (GSM) Association (2016), there are 4.7 billion uniquemobile subscribers, which is equivalent to 63% of the world’s

hours, have budding social relationships, personal lifestyle requiring time out fromstudies, and in many cases, students work part-time or full-time. Students would have to readin order to fill in the knowledge gaps even after attending class lectures. Generally, theamount of reading required in IEE courses is more than other engineering courses and itcreates a unique challenge for educators because engineering students are not too excitedabout reading assignments. Reading is a declining skill among students in this era of instantavailability of information and emerging technology. The lower percentage of studentscompleting the assignments could be remediated by various means such as giving popquizzes, awarding extra discussion points

So, we decided to host a “Writing and Speaking”contest.Students will be given a specific topic to write about. It will include: 1. What are the differences between engineering and engineering technology? 2. What kinds of careers can you expect with an engineering degree? With an engineering technology degree? 3. What kind of salary can you expect? 4. What college will you choose? Why? Name two courses provided by this college’s program that you are interested in. Describe the course. 5. What path will you take? Will you choose to enroll at a community college and then transfer to a university program
