To broaden the impact of this project, students from other areas of science,technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at USU are also invited to attend the work-shop. As a result, for the summer 2004 workshop half of the participants were computer sciencestudents, the other half mechanical engineering students. For the hands on portion of the work-shop, interdisciplinary teams were created, allowing the students to learn from each others experi-ence. Some of the engineering students brought their own research code for the 4th and 5th day ofthe workshop which allowed the computer

While C indicates a cylindrical object, S a sheet object, and B a block object.· In comparing the results from each case sections with those of the control section, one can conclude the followings: 1. Students in the case sections outperformed those in the control section in every aspect. 2. Students in all sections performed better when a cylindrical object was used. This is due to the fact that students in all sections have practiced on

Session 1451 Attitudes vs. Performance in the Engineering Classroom Crist S. Khachikian, Darrell W. Guillaume California State University Los AngelesIntroductionThe paradigm subscribed to by most people is that if one believes that a goal can be achieved,success is more likely. This is especially true in the pursuit of educational goals 1. A new trendin introductory texts focusing on orienting students to higher education, including those used inengineering courses, is to place a high degree of emphasis on this point. For example the widelyused text by Landis 1 is filled with phrases such as
