Peer Review: Modeling Civil Engineering Practice, Another Way To Improve Learning Scott R. Hamilton Department of Civil & Mechanical Engineering, U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New YorkAbstractThis paper presents the initial results of a research project designed to foster in students the habitof checking their work for accuracy. The problem observed was that students seemed to regardtheir homework submissions as simply a product to be handed in, and the correctness of theirsolutions did not seem to concern them. This struck the author as the wrong approach ineducating

In 2002, the Advanced Placement (AP) assessment for computer science recordedthe lowest female participation rate of any AP discipline, with girls accounting for only 10% ofthe test takers for the advanced exam.6 “In secondary schools across the nation, a repeatedpattern plays out: a further increase in boys confidence, status, and expertise in computing and adecline in the interest and confidence of girls.”7 The multiple applications of technology thatattract girls to their use do not seem to have the same effect on their interest in developing anddesigning technology as it

A typical problem is: given the current growth rate of oilproduction, in what year will known reserves be depleted? The exponential growth model,although offering reasonable results initially, becomes less accurate in the later stages of resourceexploitation as issues of scarcity, cost, and technological hurdles become important. It grosslyunder predicts how long a
