Introducing Presentation Skills in Freshman Engineering Elisa Linsky, Gunter Georgi. Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, New York.Mastering the art of technical presentations is critical for engineers and scientists. Teaching theseskills presents certain challenges: How do we provide authentic subject matter and authenticpresentation conditions with real audiences in an academic setting? How do we avoid instillingthe bad habits that have become the norm for this genre? How do we provide students withenough opportunities to present so that they can practice the skills they are learning? These andother issues are being addressed in our introductory engineering course, EG

IntroductionRecently, many statisticians have become involved in a movement to reform generalintroductory statistics courses2. This reform has focused on changes in content(more data analysis, less probability), pedagogy (fewer lectures, more active learning),and technology (for data analysis and simulations) 3. A principal objective of the reformmovement is to help students learn and apply statistical thinking. Statistical thinking has beendefined as thought processes that recognize that variation is all around us and present ineverything we do 4.A fundamental challenge is to

Some 21st Century ethical and social dilemmas were alsopresented as case studies. Learning was assessed through pre/post-testing and student surveys.Post-testing showed ~ 200% improvement over pre-testing. Student surveys indicated thatcreating visual drawings, models and real life ethical/social issues improved their learning.IntroductionMost of the approaches

These group sessions includecollaborative learning techniques. SI leaders were assigned to target courses based on priorsemester DFW rates and professor willingness to have an SI leader.

Thus, in the process ofdeciding about profession, women engineers responsibility must be increased in order to increasethe number of girls wishing to become engineer.One may ask if there is a need to increase female engineers in Turkey. Any developing country’sonly chance to rapidly increase its income and become a welfare state is by beginning to producetechnology, “especially in the knowledge era”. This can only be reached through the increase ofqualified labor in technology, thus engineers. The positive contribution of the increase of womenengineers in that process is not only their own production but also their potential to change thesociety’s prejudices by
