activities designed to foster self-reflection and investigation of career pathways can bebuilt directly into required courses. This is particularly useful when it is done consistently and isevaluated formally as part of the student's academic performance. Assignments that have beenused to do this successfully include a one page essay where students describe why they areinterested in their major and what aspects of possible careers interest them after a short lecture onthe possibilities. Another activity involves a lecture on resumes, their content, and how tostructure them to be concise and attractive, followed by an assignment requiring students tosubmit a resume for critique and scoring.

Many adults and students in the US have deficient understandings of engineers andwhat engineers do1. In addition, engineering is among the least gender equitable professions witha workforce that is only 11% female2. Researchers have argued that the cause for such adiscrepancy has

Therefore the State Panel and the Device Panel are also modified to reflect a singleinlet and a single exit for the premixed reactor. Balancing a reaction requires selecting thereactants and products and entering amounts of (n − a) components, where n is the total numberof species that appear in the reaction and a is the number of atoms.

Although sometimes this complaint is specious (when non amount of timewould help that particular student) at others it reflects the fact that some people approachproblems slowly but truly do understand the material.By eliminating such exams, these problems can be avoided. In the miniquiz format there is only asingle problem and the students are told ahead of time what the area of coverage will be. Hencetheir studying is directed toward that area. Only a fraction of the class time is taken up with thequiz and since there’s only one problem, a goodly amount of time can be allocated to it, reducingthe “no time!” complaints.Since there are many

In disciplines where the ‘correct answer’ is less precise, the rubric approach tendsto also pay attention to production process as well as outcome. In our discipline ofentrepreneurship education, not only is there no precise ‘correct answer’ to many managementand business opportunity questions, content uptake does not necessarily reflect the overallpreparedness of these students to become entrepreneurs.
