She has been the lead external evaluator for a number of STEM and NSF- funded projects, including an NSF TUES III, a WIDER project, an NSF EEC project through WGBH Boston, an NSF RET project, an S-STEM project, a CPATH project, and a CCLI Phase II project. She also currently serves as the internal evaluator for WMU’s Woodrow Wilson Fellows project and the institution’s Howard Hughes Medical project, and has contributed to other current and completed evaluations of NSF- funded projects carried out at SAMPI.

includes four categories of how anindividual processes and evaluates information29. The first category describes how a personinteracts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energy frominteractions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer more of arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how a personprocesses information. A person who process data with their senses is referred to as a Sensors(S) and a person who sees where data is going in the future is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensorversus iNtuitor category is an interesting area of study when it comes to engineering education,because professors are historically intuitors while most engineering

After some discussion, we arrived at some possible reasons why thisoccurred.Design presentations have been in place in ECE since 1978, when it was first implemented insenior design. In the mid 1990’s the practice was integrated into sophomore and senior design.Because the practice has been in place in all three courses for almost 20 years, it has becomeinstitutionalized as a disciplinary genre in oral communication. Student familiarity with theexpectations of the presentation—the team approach and the prescribed time limit of 20minutes—may explain the minimal difference between project and control students’performances. In addition, when we examine all of the

We wanted to see the extent that this somewhat isolated Russian Pacific Rim territory would be involved in the global supply chain.• Korea has a large
