Digital badging, sometimes referred to as Microcredentialing, has emerged as agrowing trend in higher education as an efficient means for validating and recognizing specific skillsand proficiency. Digital badges or other forms of electronic skill verification usually use a secureonline platform or repository for authentic display of objective party verification of studentcompetence and related student work.Our program has implemented digital badging to allow students the opportunity to take ownership ofand highlight specific skills which are poorly conveyed on a resume, transcript, or graduate schoolapplication.

Thenovel aspect of this course is that students from across campus are involved in mini-designprojects to make some aspect of any chosen system more sustainable. The principal constraint inthis case is cost. The course seeks to expose students from different educational backgrounds

Full custom, cell-based, array-based, and programmable logic are the major choices; each withits own set of advantages and disadvantages to be weighed. This new revolution in digital logic design is madepossible through electronic design automation tools that run on workstations and desktop personal computers.The computer aided engineering tools that are available today are having a significant impact upon the design ofdigital systems.

While he doesn’t deny the contribution of systematicbias, he feels it more cogent to believe that women may generally lack an innate proclivitywithin the underrepresented disciplines (his “biology” thesis). Alternately, women may lack thedesire and/or a gender role consistent with clocking 80-hour workweeks, behind an appropriatelymementoed desk, over the requisite span of decades needed to produce the kind of academictrack record naturally sought in new hires (what he calls the “high-powered job” thesis).Since the institutions being considered are looking for faculty among the extreme outliers withinthe considered disciplines (Summers suggests something on the order of 3½ to 4 StandardDeviations), you
