Fox’s study on women and men faculty in doctoral-granting departments incomputer science, engineering, and science fields in nine research universities found evidence tosupport work-life balance as an important issue for women faculty.42 Compared to men, womenreported that family and work interfere with each other more, most frequently with familyinterfering with work.

Additionally, we will continue to provide facultydevelopment both through the department and through the Center for Teaching and Learning tobe sure faculty have what they need to teach the Coherent Calculus. This will allow us to helpfaculty address areas of concern such as the fraction of students who perceive it would be betterto be lectured to during class.The Calculus I project scaled up more quickly and achieved wider buy-in than was initiallythought likely. While this is a clearly positive development, it means that Calculus II is now anurgent priority.

Often those referred studentswould set up appointments then not show, and simply did not reschedule or answer followups.[10]The author believes that well planned, multiple interventions will have an impact on plagiarismwith an international graduate student population. It also makes sense, as formerly cited researchsuggested, that academic integrity is clearly something that “cannot be imposed on students; itmust be accepted by them.”[21] The question then remains how to best accomplish thisacceptance.

He describedhis take on his team’s product: This is basically just going to one teacher, and I don’t see much of a[n ethical concern] with it because we’re sending it to him and it’s going to be just a lesson plan for a few weeks, and if it’s effective, then great, and if not, it’s just an experiment then and we can just narrow it down

to experience a phenomenon inaerospace engineering, let’s look at the experience of uncertainty in design, where uncertainty isthe phenomenon, decision-making in design is the task, and the aerospace engineering industry isthe context. The aerospace industry is risk-averse and seeks to reduce risk and cost by reducinguncertainty [29]. Lately, the aerospace business has taken a systems-of-systems approach todesign [30-33] in order to decompose the design space and to integrate the solutions withawareness of and planning for uncertainty resolution. Uncertainty plays a significant role indesign and every participant in the design process may have a slightly different understanding,where their understanding may not fall into a “right”, “wrong

The optional part isfor the students to make extra points. It is an ambitious plan to ask first semester freshmen towrite a formal project report and do a test that they have never done before.
