time.ReflectionsThe problem of retention of engineering students has been the focus of discussion since the1980’s. However, it was not until the landmark study of Seymour and Hewitt that many of usdeveloped any understanding why students were leaving. Unfortunately, too few faculty areaware of this report or have the time to devote to reading it. Sitting in on most departmentmeetings will reinforce that the apparent mismatch between student and faculty perceptions oncourse difficulty and course instruction, which was reported in Carter and Brickhouse’s [5] studyin 1986, can still be found today. As a result, this paper attempts to provide an overview of thosefactors negatively effecting student retention. In addition, a review of a number of curricular

To determine the effect of center of gravity (CG) location on aircraft stability. 2. To predict the neutral point of the aircraft. 3. To determine the aircraft’s longitudinal dynamic stability response (phugoid). 4. To demonstrate some of the C-182’s static stability characteristics.The beginning of Flight Lab Three is devoted to demonstrating some of the directional andlateral stability characteristics to include Dutch Roll, Adverse Aileron Yaw, and Proverse Roll.These demonstrations truly showcase the benefit of the flight lab program.

These observations may, in turn, shed some light onwhether there can be parallel pathways for becoming a civil engineering designer and a licensedprofessional engineer.BackgroundEver since the split of the “engineering” discipline in the mid-1950’s into engineeringtechnology and engineering, there has been debate concerning the place and purpose to be filledwithin the engineering profession by graduates of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) engineeringtechnology

A 1992 internal report proposed ways to increase women faculty inscience and engineering. In 2003 the Office of Equal Opportunity concluded that for facultymembers hired in the 1980’s, men were significantly more likely to have been promoted toProfessor. One major issue identified in the literature involves the persistence of implicit biases,which are held by both women and men and which lead to individuals privileging male faculty
