While students are aptlyprepared in the theory of Math and Physics, they are not allowed many opportunities to applythese concepts to design problems or to relate these ideas to real-world applications. Thisespecially seems to be an issue in all female secondary schools since 50% of peers suggested thatthere be a focus on teaching girls about engineering.According to peers, while a majority felt adequately prepared for the college level workloadbecause of their secondary school education, many felt that there could be a greater level ofpreparation by exposing students to the practical side of engineering. 27% of the students wantedto find out more about engineering, the different types of

The difficulty is inbalancing the need for “training” with that for imparting new concepts in a fast-expanding field, Page 11.873.2within ever-tightening time constraints, to students who come in at the same age.BackgroundThe typical aerospace engineering curriculum of the 1970s through early 1980s required roughly205 quarter-credit-hours (136 semester hours). Fluid / aerodynamics, structures, propulsion andperformance were emphasized; aeroelasticity and design culminated the theoretical analysis andsynthesis respectively. Given

Self-efficacyin this context was determined in terms of the ability to act as an engineer and entrepreneur or tosolve problems intelligently and creatively. The second bock of 5 questions determined theunderlying motivation of the student and whether their motivations were related to their owndemographics. For instance, whether a student feels that nationality or gender group is integral totheir motivation to pursue biomedical engineering.

In addition, this acknowledgmentprecipitated the observation that alternative methods of assessment could be used to measurestudent learning, while still meeting the school district’s objectives. Therefore, teachers couldstill feel they were "doing their jobs."An example model project prepared in advance of the workshop highlighted an integrated lessonon the study of petroglyphs.
