American students studying abroad should always be encouraged to bring homeany course work done for credit (papers, exams, and other projects) which may be reviewed byfaculty at the home campus to determine whether or not it meets requirements set by the USuniversity. US university policies on transfer of credit can range from giving non-gradedtransfer credit to incorporating the overseas grade as is into

Society for Engineering EducationOne report about the use of CAPA1 shows a strong statistically-significant positive relationshipbetween success on homework and success on the final exam through a two-year project. Animportant outcome was that this network technology can significantly improve studentachievement in large classes. CAPA helped students overcome some of the factors thatcontribute to students not achieving their goals, which include deficient preparation and lack ofawareness, misconceptions about physics fundamentals, insufficient mathematical problem-solving skills, excessively demanding and difficult course schedules, students' perceptions of thequality of education, and emotional and physical well being (students who work to pay

Students feltemployers could communicate with the CET department about summer job openings. They alsowould like employers to continue to give presentations in seminar. Students would like to knowmore about the jobs and projects they will work on. They suggest employers provide clearer jobdescriptions and be more specific about the qualifications needed. Some noted they would liketo see the plans of the jobs they are working on. One suggested having both students andemployers fill evaluation forms

As part of that training, thepreliminary TC2K accreditation criteria [1] and their implementation plans were presented. Thiswas our first real exposure to TC2K. It did not appear at that time to be a near-term challenge aswe expected to be reviewed using the existing TAC of ABET format.Two months later at the beginning of the academic year, our department chair informed us thatwe had been invited to volunteer in the 2001 pilot visit project.

One of the commonly noted benefitswas students being offered long-term positions at the companies they interned with. Students fartheralong in their education saw this as a goal of their internships and felt satisfaction in seeing it come tofruition. Some students were also offered extensions of their summer internships through the schoolyear. Students saw this as an opportunity to gain more experience in industry and to continue workingon projects they had been assigned over the summer.Students also noted the

This will increase the numberof early morning sections from three to nine, which can help differentiate these sections fromlater ones more clearly. In addition, we will investigate grade components (e.g., homework,exam, project) to identify where the differences in students’ performance occur.Comparing students’ previous semester GPA or final grades in a previous course (e.g., ENGR131) can clarify whether or not students with lower academic ability enroll in the morningsections or the lower performance is directly a result

emphasis on altruistic engineering projects was motivated by the NAE ExtraordinaryWomen Engineers Project14, which identified messaging as an important factor in the lowrepresentation of women in undergraduate engineering programs. An extensive survey of highschool students systematically concludes that messaging about engineering, with an emphasis on“math and science skills” and the notion of a “challenge,” is not aligned with key motivators forgirls. Rather, results showed that messages that focus on features of the engineering professionnot widely emphasized, such as “making a difference in the world” and “creativity,” hold muchstronger appeal.

Cech and Sherick, for example, have written persuasivelyabout how a stubbornly entrenched “ideology of depoliticization” has powerfully inflected theform and content of engineering education, namely by demarcating the technical dimensions ofengineering from any associated political, social, or cultural considerations.2 This ideologicalboundary-work projects a sanitized and idealized image of engineering as ultimately divorceablefrom anything deemed subjective, sociocultural, or humanistic – that is, anything “non-technical.” The idea of “social/technical
