BackgroundIn the late 1980’s and early 1990’s industry leaders started to recognize that with globalizationand advances in computer technology, the world was getting more interconnected, complex andquicker. To compete in a rapidly changing world they needed a new breed of engineeringstudents, who could literally hit the ground running upon graduation. In addition to excellenttechnical knowledge and skills they also needed graduating engineering students with abilities toproductively work on

From the programmer’s point of view nod4 has the following CPU registers • A – accumulator • C – condition code register (Z,C,I) • S – stack pointer • X – index register • PC – program address counterThe A register is primarily for handling data. The C register contains the zero flag (Z),carry/borrow flag (C), and the interrupt enable flag (I). The stack pointer maintains the stackdata structure. The X register is a fairly general purpose index register.

reasoning to exploreself-efficacy.Self-Efficacy and Self-RegulationThe lack of progress in retaining women and minorities in engineering is partially due tostudents’ self-efficacy. Self-efficacy refers to a person’s belief that s/he is capable of takingaction to achieve a certain goal, such as completion of a college degree. Self-efficacy is formedby a person’s mastery experiences (previous success leads a person to believe s/he is capable ofcompleting a similar task), vicarious experiences (when a person sees someone else completing atask and believes s/he could do the same), social persuasions (supportive people in a person’s lifesuch as teachers, family, or mentors), and physiological reactions to a task (anxiety, etc.).Self-efficacy relates to

Processdesign is often treated as the culmination of the undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum. Thiscourse draws on knowledge from previous chemical engineering courses including transport, balances,controls, and more. Students are often reminded of what they learned in previous courses and are firstrequired to pull knowledge from multiple previous courses. This means students are likely to see the in-terconnectivity of the curricula for the first time at the very end of their education. Additionally, processdesign tends to focus on the design of a single process
