Raisingstudent achievement requires teachers to meet not only academic needs but also social andcultural needs of students7. This is particularly important because more students are Hispanic(17%) and African American (17%) than teachers (Hispanic: 5% and African American: 8%) inpublic schools8. The gap between girls' and boys' achievement and participation in science and math duringsecondary school education, though narrowing, still exists. In science, data showed nosignificant differences among 4th and 8th grade girls and boys, but 12th grade boys had higher

Based on retrospective consideration of this case study, a variety offactors are identified. By considering these factors and how they interact in a systems level. Wemay explore opportunities to improve industrial systems design and incorporate those findingsinto engineering education so that graduates may exploit these opportunities.Generalization of Lessons LearnedClaims of 70% reductions in energy use seem outrageous on their face. Despite beingdemonstrable, many will argue that this is an isolated case and not representative of broaderindustry. However, one need only look back at the

Simulations offer an effective means to refine a daylighting conceptlater in the design process, but since many design teams still lack the know-how, time, orresources for such detailed design investigations, the daylighting analysis of many buildingsbegins and ends with the use of rules of thumb 3.

For example, the effects of Brooks’ lawcan be actively mitigated by strategies such as adding developers early in the developmentcycle3,26, adding more developers than are expected to be needed24, and ensuring thatdocumentation, technical reviews, and a less territorial ownership of software artefacts byindividual developers are used to spread the knowledge about the project28,42.
