Under the breadthstructure 43% of the students received B grades and 30% received A grades. Most semesters theinstructor lowered the cutoff between A and B grades to raise the number of students receiving Agrades. For the pilot study the course GPA was 3.74 with 71% of the students receiving Agrades.

Mechanical Engineering. In September of 2000 the Polytechnicinaugurated a new Engineering Building consisting of 15 classrooms, 13 laboratories, 34 offices,and auditorium and study areas for students. In 2002 the Polytechnic offered its first B Techdegrees in Mechanical and Civil Engineering. A B Tech in Information Technology is planned tobegin in 2003 and the B Tech in Electrical and Electronics in 2004.I found the academic environment in Namibia to be very similar to what it is in Ohio. Facultymembers are primarily concerned with how to help students learn while fulfilling their other dutiesrequired in the job. In addition to this, they also worried about how to assess student learning,what employers desire from graduates, and what needs to be

outcomes we developed for our datamining courses are listed below: 1. Students will be able to write computer code that: (a) extracts, cleans, transforms and saves data in different formats. (b) summarizes data numerically and graphically. (c) clusters and/or classifies data records. (d) analyzes text documents. 2. Students will be able to communicate data mining results to a wider audience. 3. Students will be able to acquire new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.The first four weeks of our ten week courses are focused on data preprocessing (data wrangling)and data exploration using Pandas, 6 a Python based data mining framework widely used inindustry.

DiscussionThe consistency of the comparisons across the two approaches is gratifying, as itsuggests the existence of a real phenomenon that is hinted at in two different ways. Thelevels of the responses and the differences are similar, which suggests to us that studentknowledge about engineering is changing due to the introduction of THE PROJECT. Torefer to Figure 1, comparisons A and B appear to be similar. Most of these apparentchanges, however, appear to be informational rather than aspirational. That is, after oneyear of SABES, there appears to be convincing evidence that

These schemes can include seed funding and larger research team awards. Seed funding should be available only once to a faculty member. b. Ensure that adequate space, lab and other necessary research facilities are made available. It is important that impediments to research activity are identified and removed so as to ensure that faculty see that the research agenda is a college priority.Academic Management Initiatives:10.
