Rather, “problems which arise from the structures of theeducation experience and the culture of the discipline[s] (as reflected in the attitudes andpractices of the S.M.E. faculty) make a far greater contribution to S.M.E. attrition than individualinadequacies of students or the appeal of other majors (p. 392).

We assessed the correlations between ratings on each LSI dimension andagreement with the six statements. We found most of the correlations were small. The highestcorrelation was between SEN/INT dimension and the first statement about programming skills.The more strongly a student scores as a “sensor”, the more s/he believes that her/hisprogramming aptitude cannot be changed.We did not uncover any clear evidence that students with different learning styles

Infectious control represents one of the morechallenging aspects of selective demolition and remodeling to hospital constructors. Hospitals (aswell as other structures) pre-dating the 1970’s may be home to hazardous materials such asasbestos, PCB’s and lead paints. Demolition contractors are often the first to encounter thesehazards which represent a challenge whether they are to be encapsulated or abated and landfilled.It is hypothesized that a course focusing on selective demolition and remodeling could serve bothspecializations equally well.In addition to a heavy equipment course, a
