WIL internships offer students a foundation to expand their discipline knowledge andutilize skills with guidance from a supervisor and peers (Patrick et al., 2008) In the Frenchengineering curriculum, students delve deeply into mathematics and physics, a characteristicnot commonly found in other systems (Chatzis, 2010; Lemaître, 2017) The rigorous nature ofthese courses often posed challenges for students. However, through internships, studentscame to realize that their scientific studies had laid a strong foundation for their training,providing them with a broad base from which to explore various fields of study.

Women experienced these differences aslost social opportunities, leading to a greater sense of isolation from their peers in thedepartment: They're very young. They go out and celebrate later or go do something else. I do exactly what I want to do which is go home to be with my family. There is just a completely different mindset on what our social lives are like. They live in apartments close to school and they walk to work.

The questions incorporate visual diagrams and everyday situations toemphasize conceptual understanding over mathematical manipulation.Inspired by all of these factors, as well as a grant from the NSF-funded Foundation Coalition,we set out to develop both CT and DT SSCI exams. We sought to write exams coveringthe core concepts of signals and systems in a manner emphasizing conceptual understand-ing over computational mechanics. This paper reports preliminary results from studies forboth exams. The following section describes the development of the SSCI exams, includinginventories of the core concepts assessed by each exam.

quality can also suffer if a single camera is used and there is no camera operator to zoomin and out appropriately during the lecture. Classroom lighting can also be a challenge.Document cameras can be useful but instructors often have to use a wider than normal pen toallow the camera to resolve the writing. This presents difficulties for many engineering coursesdue to the intricate nature of many of the equations and drawings. There are a variety ofalternatives to live lecture capture that can be effective for hybrid classes. A common techniqueis to use screen recording software such as Camtasia. In this study, faculty used three methods tocreate content that was subsequently captured adding both audio and video annotations withCamtasia. In

Surely most who prize moralconduct in the professions would hesitate to object to any around them findingheightened internal motivation for ethical behavior, whatever the source of the motivation,particularly where those ethical conclusions are largely congruent. Their self-interest isserved by the religious principles of others. The most common objection I’ve heard is that a Christian engineering ethic wouldbe globally and culturally constrained. Peers assert that engineering requires a secularethic that can be universally embraced, as other religious systems or worldviews wouldbe justified in rejecting a religiously derived ethic.

One student expressed concern that with the group nature ofsome of the work, students may ‘ride the coattails’ of classmates. However, that student noted,and the instructors have observed, that this has not happened during our experiences.
