Theobserved decrease in progression may reflect the increase in class size.Then, we looked at the effects of grades on students’ progression. Firstly, we tested thestatistical significances of the differences in the grade distributions of progressed andnon-progressed students using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The corresponding p-valuesare shown in Table 1. We found that the two distributions are statistically significantlydifferent except for MECH in Fall 2016 and CBE in Fall 2014. This finding preliminarilyshows the significant effects of grades achieved for a student’s decision on progression.We

In addition, 75 percent of presenters reported that they had plans to present or hadalready presented their research at a professional conference. Although the inaugural competitionwas successful in catalyzing graduate student research dissemination, future efforts are needed totranslate participation in the departmental event to presentations at professional conferences andpublications through topical peer-reviewed outlets.IntroductionA catalyst is

This is known as theevaluation phase. In the synthesis phase, it became apparent that time was a major constraint.Due to this students must be aware of the fact that they should only take on activities and workthey believe they will be able to effectively complete. Taking on too much will not only leadto a decrease in performance across all of the tasks but will also lead to added unnecessarystress. For these reasons, it is vital to the success of the student to create a plan that takes inimportant system requirements and prioritizes work to

TechnologyStudies (STS). Throughout the fall 2019 semester, I began to question the ways in which I hadbeen recruited and channeled, as a woman with an interest in science and math, into studyingengineering. Upon taking an introductory STS course, I was introduced to reflecting criticallyabout engineering as a field of study. This led me to enroll in a graduate seminar, EngineeringStudies, which provided me with a much deeper introduction to STS-inflected studies ofengineering, including engineering education. During this time, my professor, along with apostdoctoral fellow, were co-PIs for a study of student experiences in engineering education andhad already convened a group of undergraduate students who were in the process of interviewingtheir peers

In theUnited States, civil engineering’s professional society was formed in 1852, followed by miningand metallurgical engineering in 1871, mechanical engineering in 1880, electrical engineering in1884, and chemical engineering in 1908. Although professional societies can also be used to datethe official establishment of a discipline, they do not completely reflect the status of thatdiscipline’s educational standards and curricula. As the education of engineers began to shifttowards science-based education and away from vocationally-based education as a result ofWorld War II, a more diverse set of engineering disciplines

Her surveyresults indicated that engineering education graduates would encounter negative perceptions oftheir degree’s rigor. This negative perception is strongly reflected in Factor 2 where participantsagreed with the statement that those with discipline-specific degrees view engineering educationdegrees as less rigorous and more in line with “teacher training.” Our survey of engineeringeducation degree holders finds that negative perceptions of rigor still exist seven years afterBorrego surveyed engineering deans.

information registered in a multidimensional code [6, 7].The term episodic reflects its capacity to hold integrated episodes that extend both spatially andtemporally. It is a buffer because it offers a multidimensional code that allows information fromdifferent subsystems to be integrated and linked to LTM. Such a multidimensional capacity tendsto be computationally demanding, hence the buffer's limited capacity [8]. The buffer is assumedto be controlled by the CE, using conscious awareness as an effective retrieval strategy [9-11].The episodic buffer's prominent feature is information chunking.
