Teams were required to use no more than four process steps/devices for their separation, and were not allowed to touch the mixture of components or use any of the materials as chop-sticks to remove components. The materials provided included items such as screens, coffee filters, magnets, cups and plates. The goal of this activity was to for students to begin thinking about separation processes, an integral part of their overall design project.

To evaluate this previous body of research, this study gathereddata across four research universities. Using structural equation modeling, it measuredenvironmental effects, i.e., academic integration or faculty distance on a) self-efficacy, b)academic confidence and c) self-regulated learning behaviors, and d) GPA. Results showed thatfaculty distance lowered self-efficacy, academic confidence and

The purposeof this study is not to make generalizations about all of engineering education, but rather toidentify and elaborate on a practice at UWest that has an impact on students. What is true atUWest may not be true at other schools, but we believe studies like ours can play a role inhelping to set future research agendas.3. Assembling an understanding of the admissions process.In this section we show: A) That students at UWest are uncertain how they will be evaluated bythe admissions committee; B) This uncertainty, we argue leads students to enlist differentresources, both official (e.g., department websites) and unofficial (e.g

The problem is two-fold: (1) not enough female students arepursuing engineering and technology studies, and (2) those who pursue these areas often leaveearly in their career.The gender differences in entry and persistence in the area of engineering and technology thatleads to the under-representation of women in these fields are due to a combination of somesocial and environmental factors [8, 9, 10, & 11]. Some key factors that contribute to the genderdifference in entry to engineering and technology areas are gender stereotypes anddiscrimination, perceiving engineering as a profession for men, lack of encouragement,inaccurate information about the variety of careers available, negative beliefs about women’sabilities in STEM areas, and
