BCe2, in collaboration with the city’s parksdepartment, then transports these trees to various locations throughout the community. BCA’sgoals for this activity was to educate the students on the necessity of trees, learn how native treenurseries operate, and discover essential best practices for tree conservation.

Material propertydata, experimental results and information on the characteristics of various devices are alsoincorporated in the overall model to obtain realistic results from the simulation. The results fromthe simulation are used to determine if the design satisfies the requirements and constraints of thegiven problem.The mechanical engineering capstone senior design program emphasizes several important skillsthat are necessary to be a successful engineer. Some of these skills include project planning andscheduling, creativity and concept generation and evaluation, decision making, analysis tools,prototyping and testing, standards and regulations, engineering ethics

particular occasions, the online student was asked to communicate with the in campusclass students. In one occasion, she presented her project for the class students andanswered their questions. A presentation of the long distance student was a memorableexperience for the class students, as she was assigned to present about her constructionjob experience, professional ethics, and her suggestions for their job search. That was avery attractive session for the in campus students, as the communication was possiblesuch that she could see the class students with the front camera, and they could see herface and her presentation on the screen. The adjustments have been prepared before theclass for such communication.The above consideration created a

of this paradox may lead to important misperceptions, especially insensitive settings, which makes this phenomenon of utter importance when it comes tointerpreting results. Clearly, a misinterpretation of the results from Berkeley graduate admissionsmight have led to legal problems. A misunderstanding of recovery rates due to a specific drugmay lead to incorrect or false advertising, also leading to legal and ethical issues.It is my aim to provide in this article another example of SP that took place in an educationalsetting.

different conventions for memo writing.It is important that faculty instructors who assign memos not only buy into these thresholdconcepts, but also coordinate with one another to scaffold learning experiences throughout thecurriculum that will support the mastery of these threshold concepts. For example, students maybe given a template memo in their first year in EM121 to practice concept 1. In RH330, studentsmay be asked to analyze an ethics case study and respond with a memo that addressesprofessional values and ethos, practicing concept 4. The plan to encourage buy-in andcoordination among faculty instructors for this effort is described in the next section.Next stepsThe next steps in this project include:1) Presenting the proposed threshold

education pipeline, the scope of this paperfocuses on an undergraduate class early in the curriculum, which is an important time framewhere women are more likely than men to leave the engineering track [3], [12]. The aim of thisstudy is to analyze several variables within an engineering curriculum where gender differencesexist: spatial visualization ability, performance in introductory engineering graphics courses, andwork-ethic with respect to classroom tasks, within the context of self-efficacy and persistence inengineering. Understanding the factors related to the gender gap in engineering is an importantfirst step toward future studies of targeted interventions to better meet the pedagogical needs of amore diverse student population.It has been

Soon after, one to two “lunch andlearns” were included each quarter to provide a more convenient avenue for guest speakers anddiscussions. In 2015, the course took on its current three-unit format with a lecture and a
