For specificinformation, the datagram is “encapsulated” as a link-layer frame with that frame transferred intoa target link.This specific example, condensed to the previous three sentence paragraph, accents technicianeducation issues.

In a multi-institutional case study of reform institutions, O’Mearacharacterized a “culture war” around decisions about promotion to full professor, wrapped up ininstitutional self-image and values of prestige associated with traditional scholarship [24].Ratcheting up of research expectations to improve rankings has also been identified as asignificant barrier [37].

It was followed by a design projects course in which studentsdesigned and implemented a nanoelectronic device. We developed the Nanoelectronics ConceptInventory to assess student learning of fundamental concepts in the first course. The assessmentcan be used to improve and

difficult task but a foundational skill inengineering education. As the ABET outcome 3 stated, engineering graduates should be able tocommunicate effectively with a range of audiences [1]. Most US engineering laboratory coursesassign lab reports to improve students’ written communication skills and knowledge of writing inthe context of engineering. Indeed, engineering lab reports possess fundamental characteristics ofprofessional forms in engineering literacy. However, engineering undergraduates consistentlyface many challenges in producing satisfactory quality engineering lab reports [2-10].Writing is a complex task for students to combine multiple aspects of literacy at once. Often,undergraduates learn those aspects in their first-year
