, are neither unbiased nor value-free. Everything from what is studied to the subjects forthe experiments is male-dominated. When women begin to enter a field, different questions areasked and methodological and theoretical assumptions challenged. This often leads to thetrivializing of their scholarship Often the only women in their departments, female faculty in the STEM disciplinescommonly are not part of the camaraderie that often develops among young colleagues. This canresult in lack of access to information and professional opportunities (Fox, 1996). Johnsrud andDes Jarlais ‘s (1994) research reveals that faculty women report greater isolation and fewermentors than do their male peers. Their data indicate that women tend to be

Session 2793 Paper 910 TEACHING PROBLEM SOLVING IN AN INTEGRATED MATHEMATICS-WRITING CURRICULUM Natalie D. Segal, Sallie S. Townsend S.I. Ward College of Technology at the University of HartfordABSTRACT: It is crucial that students realize that solving equations and writing papersare not exercises done to please teachers, that equations represent real-world events, thatthe process of writing a paper reflects the process of reporting information, that problem-solving is what adults do on the job. Consequently
consequences are felt over arelatively large period of time that the input/output paradigm breaks down. • An alternative to state transition is the goal-seeking (or decision-making)paradigm. It has its origin in biology and the study of human behavior rather thanphysical phenomena. More concisely, the functioning of the system in the goal-seekingparadigm is represented by two items: goal(s) of the system; and the processes which thesystem possesses to pursue these goals and to respond to the influences from theenvironment. This paradigm accommodates concepts of “satisfactory human behavior” asopposed to the “optimization” view commonly used in economic theory, explicitlyaccounts for uncertainty – both true uncertainty and uncertainty

Then, the values of NFG are "mapped" into non-numerical gradesusing a procedure set up at the institution level.III. Overview of the university-level academic regulationsFor the last 10 years, several changes in the academic regulations that affected the procedure forcalculation of the final grade for the programs have been approved by the Senate of the WarsawUniversity of Technology.According to the regulations being in force in the 80's, the NFG was calculated using theformula: NFG = 0.5 ⋅ WGA

Thesupport course is designed to redress and enhance students' concept of the fundament als underpinning a study incalculus, to aid the development of personal, academic and communication skills and to give the students basicskills in information technology. The main pedagogical approach is aimed at developing the full academicpotential of the students. The study focused on determining students' learning preferences, their study orientationin mathematics and the development of writing skills relevant for engineering. The Herrmann Brain DominanceInstrument was used to determine the student s' thinking style preferences. This information was used

educational community. This paper examines how specific Computer Science courses can be mapped to certain layer(s) of the Cloud (see Sections 4 & 5). Rapid growth of the cloud technology and promises to reduce the IT costs 5 pushed numerous educational institutions to revise their IT infrastructure and follow the Cloud development. Our university, like many others, is moving to the Cloud within the next five to ten years. Computer Sciences and STEM Education are among prime targets. Ever since the emergence of Cloud Computing, significant emphasis and efforts have been offered in exploring and defining this new technology 4, 7, 8, 9 . Experts predict that by 2020 most institutions and enterprises will move to

Subsequent to finishing STEM Tech they are invitedto join the High School WISE program. Our ultimate goal is to provide a supportstructure that will follow them through middle and high school and ultimatelythrough college.The College WISE program is a multifaceted program that utilizes several methodsto engage its students in success. Some of the methods are: frequent facultycontact, specially created courses, extensive mentoring system

The findings reveal that students have a significantpreference for hands-on and virtual labs. Because the hands-on lab can bring tangibleproblem-solving learning processes compared to the remote and virtual ones.However, students agreed with the remote and virtual labs’ flexible access andunlimited attempts, especially for those students who need more individual study andlive very far from physical labs, such as during the COVID.
