The instructorprimarily acted as a facilitator and let the students struggle, as appropriate, so the normal teamand project difficulties would be experienced. This, too, increased both their content and team-process learning.The “Leadership Philosophy” senior level course also followed the learning contract PERTtechnique. Student teams determined the end and interim objectives and responsibilities. Theinstructor demonstrated several models the teams could follow but PERT plan coordination
) definition, 2) example, 3) review questions, and 4)quiz. Students can see their performance on review questions interactively and have theoption to repeat them, and receive on-line feedback on their score. Similarly, theirperformance on a quiz is evaluated on-line and feedback is provided to them. In addition,their score on each quiz as well as the time they spent taking the quiz are sent back to theinstructor and stored in a permanent file. The courseware provides an overall assessment, ingraphical format, of the average performance of all students who took a quiz, as well as eachindividual student’s performance. These modules are taught as supplementary part s of acourse in Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla
Cross-Cultural AdaptabilityInventory (CCAI) or Global Awareness Profile (GAP) test.7 Bielefeldt, on the other hand, hasused the Miville-Guzman Universality-Diversity Scale short form (MGUDS-S) to examinecultural competence in a variety of engineering student populations.8Downey et al., by contrast, have defined global competency as being able to work with otherswho define and solve problems differently, including across national and culture boundaries.9 Toevaluate attainment of this competency, they developed a scenario-based writing exercise togauge student awareness of how engineering cultures and identities differ across countries. Theirapproach is unique because of its emphasis on evaluating intercultural knowledge and skills inthe context

Through an email invitation, four of the sixengineering supervisors agreed to participate, and this meeting was held towards completion ofthe co-op work term. Focus groups are loosely structured gatherings of 4-12 people who engagein a discussion guided by the moderator. The primary advantage of a focus group is the abilityfor discussion to expand beyond the preconceptions of the researcher(s) and to provide dataabout key issues important

This paper examines the effects of the freshman designexperience on student performance in an introductory sophomore circuits course taken bystudents majoring in either electrical or computer engineering. Students who took the freshmandesign experience performed significantly better in the circuits course than those who did not.Students who took the electrical and computer engineering module in the freshman designexperience performed slightly better in the circuits course than students who took a differentmodule.1.

Cruz & Kellam found that enjoyment of tinkering, a desire to be creative, and a need for multiple career options were predictive of engineering major choice along with math and science interest[11]. he decision to study engineering and succeed in the major is rarely separated from an interest inTmathematics and math class placement. Due to the impact COVID-19 has had on students' academic readiness, there is a need to understand more about pre-math-ready students pursuing engineering.

is generated in the QAorepeating sequence block in the model, which provides flow as a predetermined function of time.This function takes a user-defined heart rate and stroke volume to calculate a time waveform ofblood flow out of the heart. This blood from the heart flows into an “Add” block that subtractsoff the flow of blood leaving the artery into the systemic circulation. The output of the “Add”block is the net flow of blood into the systemic artery. This is then fed into an integration block,indicated by “1/s.” Integration of the flow gives the volume of blood in the artery, indicated byV. This volume of blood results in stretching the walls of the artery to create pressure. Theconversion of volume to pressure is done through the
