Primary goals of the programare to provide students with a solid foundation in engineering fundamentals, the skills to adapt torapidly changing and advanced technologies, and an aptitude for life-long learning. Uniquenessof the program is particularly evident with respect to its multidisciplinary span, heavyexperimental component, large credit-hour requirement, and use of advanced

be due to a number of factors such as how TSE influences teacher classroom practices,instructional strategies, and climate of the learning setting [29].In comparison to K-12 settings, research on the impact of instructor TSE on students in highereducation is more limited, especially for TAs. Most research on TA TSE in higher education hasfocused on measuring levels of TSE and identifying contributors to TSE, such as professionaldevelopment, previous teaching experience, and background characteristics [30]–[36]. Shannonet al. [37] measured student ratings of TAs and found that prior teaching experience, but notdepartmental TA training, was significantly associated with higher student ratings of TAefficacy.

While it certainly has its own concerns, the h-index is still the mostcommon measure of an individual researchers measure of both citation impact and productivity[4]. Next, for an individual student one may determine competence by combined information oftheir degrees, the awarding institutions, and the grade point average (GPA) for each degree [5].How can industry compare engineering graduates from different institutions in differentcountries, much less

Although studying human analysts in ART is an emerging research trend, how studentsmight behave differently from software professionals is yet to be investigated. In this paper,we compare the performances, processes, and strategies between students and software pro-fessionals in carrying out ART tasks for an unfamiliar system. We observe that both studentsand professionals performing ART activities generally follow a generic four-phase problemsolving process: define the problem, develop
