The instructors alsocompleted the scale at the beginning of the semester.ParticipantsThirty-eight participants completed both the pre-course and post-course surveys. Ten participantswere enrolled in Instructor A’s section; 28 were enrolled in Instructor B’s section. All werejuniors or seniors majoring in engineering or related disciplines. Nine identified as women and29 as men. Four participants were from non-U. S. countries and had spent most or all of theirpre-collegiate years outside the U. S. Twenty-nine students were members of a registered studentorganization and/or a social fraternity or sorority; 10 of those students had been officers in one ormore organizations. Four participants had

], [14], [18], [19].Need for a STEM Observation ProtocolIn addition to the challenge of defining STEM education, there have been challenges in assessingintegrated STEM instruction in K-12 classrooms. Given the rapid development of both K-12engineering and integrated STEM, it is critical that researchers have access to valid and reliableinstruments to determine the efficacy of different teaching and curricular approaches related toboth teacher effectiveness and student learning. The lack of a protocol designed specifically forsuch teaching will lead to reliance on the use of teacher self-report data or the use of protocolsthat measure “just good” teaching without consideration of the nature of the discipline(s) beingtaught. Existing instruments
as shown in Figure 1below. This guided instructional effort for subsequent labs and in-class sessions in the course.At the end of the quarter, mastery of these standards within this course will be shared withCapstone instructors to inform their coaching as these are skills fundamental to the Capstonedesign process.Assessment of Incoming Related SkillsUntil mastery-based grading has been implemented throughout the sequence, quizzes based onthe relevant LO of the previous course(s) will be administered to tailor instruction in the absenceof SBG data from the previous courses. A statistics concept quiz has been administered withconcepts relevant to the experimental design course. Results show overall mastery in selection ofappropriate
perspectives and cross-cultural skills such as the InterculturalDevelopment Inventory (IDI) [8], Miville Guzman Universality Diversity Scale (MGUD-S) [9],and the Engineering Global Preparedness Index (EGPI) [10]. The global perspectives ofengineering students in this study was measured via the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) [11].This instrument was used because it closely aligns with global perspective constructs the studyaims to measure. The GPI is also a validated instrument and widely used for a basis forcomparison against non-engineers. Additionally, a number of studies have used the GPI toexamine the impact of study abroad experiences with consistent results and strong statisticalreliability and validity [11, 12, 13].

√Risk Management Principles √Quantitative Risk and Modelling √Change in Staff ProfilesThe staff profiles have changed over the years. The original adjunct staff of the seventies weresourced from major construction companies and the subjects being offered reflected theirstrengths. A typical adjunct staff profile was that of middle to upper level manager in a majorlocal construction company, with about ten years or more of experience, some of which wasgained on iconic major projects. The “70’s” band of Table 3 reflects the use of this staff in thecourse and the consequent range of subjects offered. The work load was shared equally betweentenured and adjunct staff.The

) codes demonstrate high performance capabilities, arbitrarily close to the Shannon limit,and are becoming feasible with today’s processing technology [10]. LDPC codes are founded onbasic linear-algebra principles. In this paper math is performed in the binary subspace of real-numbers, and hence addition and multiplication are performed in base 2, e.g. addition becomesthe XOR operation, and multiplication becomes the AND operation. LDPC codes utilize a sparsebinary parity-check matrix, H, with dimensions M×N. Matrix H can be either regular, meaningthat there are a specific number of 1’s per row and column, or irregular, in which there may ormay not be a constraint on the number of 1’s. In this project we will deal only with an irregularparity
