In a study conducted in 2004, he found that over 40 percent of recentscience and engineering graduates attended community college at some point in their educationalpathways. Tsapogas (2004), among the 1999 and 2000 science and engineering (S&E)graduates, almost half (or 44%) had attended a community college sometime during theirpostsecondary education career prior to graduating.Women in STEMThe literature on women in STEM highlights the not only the underrepresentation of thispopulation but also the urgent need to increase the number of women pursuing STEM areas ofstudy. While the percentage of women enrolling and obtaining bachelor degrees is at an all timehigh, the percentage of individuals

each ‘deliverable’; each document or presentation that would be evaluated. ProfessorO___ noted that during his time as a coach, this format left students focusing on eachindividual deliverable but overlooking the project as a whole. Professor O___’s solutionwas a document that gave a project overview, and then individual documents for eachdeliverable. Page 15.1209.6Several formats for the overview were considered, with various level of detail. Oneimportant element that all team members agreed upon was the necessity of anintroduction that linked the project to ‘real world’ work, giving students an understandingof the usefulness of the projects.

Once the technical analysis is completed, students then research and write apaper on the effect that the tragedy (and the engineer’ s role in it) had on Mexican society.Topics arising in these papers include discussions of political unrest, unification of a dividedlower class, government re-organization, tourism and other economic effects, exposure ofcorruption, the response of citizens to the president’s actions after the quake, and the tremendoussuffering of the victims. For example, one student wrote the following: …The losses incurred as a result of the earthquake and below-par building standards provided good timing for an already cynical people to demand changes in their government’s

The numbers within parentheses next to each KSA indicateits priority in the list of 36 KSAs identified through the survey. The sample data presented belowshows the critical role engineering educators have in instilling these KSAs in the futureengineering workforce.While some of the KSAs identified can be integrated into existing courses through

We also provide aset of classroom extras at the instructor’s table for quick replacement of items that have worn outor disappeared. When consumables are involved in an exercise (e.g., Exercise # 1: Take Apart –Pull-back Car), we generally furnish each instructor with enough of the consumable item(s) forhis/her sections. Dedicated classrooms are nice, but they are not necessary as long as thematerials required for the hands-on exercises are easily transported to the classroom in use.During some semesters, we have needed classrooms other than our usual four, and we thenprovided dedicated wheeled carts that were stocked with hands-on sets and could be taken
