This result suggests Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering Educationthat most courses that students take in the undergraduate engineering programs do not ask themto undertake tasks that increase their readiness for self-directed learning. No gender differenceswere present in the cross-sectional study. Although some of the data show an increase in SDLRSscores between a pre-test and post-test in capstone courses in Mechanical and ElectricalEngineering, the results failed to support the hypothesis that the complex

Based on student evaluations, itseems that students developed a justifiable sense of self-confidence in their programming skills.2. DatabasesA database is structured collection of data. Thus, card indices, printed catalogues ofarchaeological artifacts and telephone directories are all examples of databases. Databases maybe stored on a computer and examined using a program. These programs are often called`databases', but more strictly are database management systems (DMS). Just as a card index orcatalogue has to be constructed carefully in order to be useful, so must a

The subtleties associated with the development of a product and its transition fromconcept to working model are often ill-defined, yet, the very budgeting or marketing process assimplistic examples, are based upon the success of the system. Also of great importance, thestudents gain a new appreciation for the value multi-discipline teamwork. Whether the student isstudying engineering, engineering technology, or is in a non-technical program, this change inperspective will benefit the student as they begin their career.A cross disciplinary approach to education is based on the needs of a changing global marketplaceequally important to engineering and science as it is to business.

in a required Introduction to Engineering course forsome 200 students. As one might expect, the average reflective judgment score for First Yearstudents (3.5) is consistent with the research which reports an average around (3.4)11. Whilecognitive growth is the promise of higher education, gains in this area remain elusive.Intellectual gains tend to average only one-half step over a four year program of study. Thislimited growth supports the national NSSE data - on average, students are under engaged. Theimplication seems relatively clear. Students who are under engaged tend to be moredisconnected and are likely to drop out of engineering and science.
