The settings and link functions considered were all default selections of SAS version9.4 (m3). The various regression model techniques were compared using the AkaikeInformation Criterion12 (AIC), AICc, and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). For thepurposes of this project, the authors considered statistical significance at the α = 0.05 level. AIC,AICc, and BIC were used as the comparisons for goodness of fit between the models created,rather than R2 and Adjusted R2, because techniques for calculating R2 and Adjusted R2 regardinggoodness of fit for some nonlinear

unfortunately this is turning many of them off thefield altogether. Even though he’s a man, Bob’s comments also echo the “Stemming the Tide”report, which showed that most women engineers leave the engineering workforce not due towork-life balance issues (as is often claimed) but due to a hostile, unsupportive environment17.LimitationsThe narrowness of the work (only three students’ stories are presented here, though many morewere interviewed) is a clear limitation. This research project was just started within the last year.We hope, with time, to be able to incorporate other students’ interviews and provide a richeranalysis.

other engineering instructors share my sentiment of being a novice in reconciling thesocial and technical worlds of the engineering science course. To us, it is tempting to abandonthe pursuit of reconciling these worlds. Though we may agree such integration would benefitstudents’ professional preparation, the tension of the social/technical paradox might be a placethat the instructor wishes to avoid. I find Palmer’s guidance to be a useful conceptual tool here.We may long to embody and project a coherent integration between the technical concepts weare drawn to and the social world that we live in. Until we find that integration, however, we can“live out the resolution” of the social/technical paradox that accompanies our profession, thereby

In a follow-up discussion in week 7 of this currentsemester, most of the students expressed the sentiment that learning AutoCAD solid modelinghas helped them to reduce the learning curve in Solid Edge and NX.

The first, fromthe tests they had designed and evaluated. The second, from reflections on the exercise undertaken atvarious stages in the process. These are key skills required in industry.CommentTrevelyan proposed that engineering students should be required to teach their peers and that thiswould help them acquire some of the skills they are said to lack in the industrial situation.
