Most classes in all three majors, especiallyupper division classes, included laboratories, so students gained familiarity with much of theequipment through exposure in multiple classes.The model for the three engineering technology programs was effective. Over most of the yearsof the programs’ existence until the late 2000s they each graduated 10-20 students per year. In thelate 2000s interest in the degrees began to increase, starting with the PET program and then fol-lowing with the MET program and to a lesser degree the EET program. In the period from 2009to 2015, the average graduating class sizes were approximately 17 for EET, 25 for MET, and 31for PET. That EET was the smallest program was a reflection of the additional

These, in turn, generate a higher target population and more awareness of and interest inall of the above. For a small school such as UAF, this impact has been significant.Career options. Beyond the university realm, students participating in aerospace courses andactivities have had good success in transitioning directly into an aerospace job, whether in spacesystems or in aeronautics.

More recent theorists, however,are exploring the concept of “deep ecology,” that is, “nature as a whole has moral value” [62, p.97], irrespective of interplay with the human population. Viewing the natural world as having anintrinsic worth is, indeed, one of the major challenges facing environmental philosophers [63].Ocean gyres, particularly the GPGP, are a topic ripe for ethical reflection in engineering classesfor a number of reasons. First, it involves public safety, which engineers in all fields pledge touphold as professionals in their respective areas. Second, it involves establishing and maintaininga sustainable environment, which engineering

The workingparty also found that the sub-abilities did not necessarily apply to the category they had beendesignated when attempts were made to utilize Bloom. To be fair, the authors of the Taxonomyunderstood that their categories would not fit every subject. Moreover, when considered from theperspective of the process of engineering they were not hierarchically ordered.Eventually the working party took the view that for each major component or domain objectiveof the examination a particular type of assessment would be necessary. Because the examinationincorporated a number of different objectives it was originally called a multiple objectiveexamination. This also reflected the

The bottom panels show acloser look at more recent trends from 2000 to 2017 that measure a rise in sea level of about 0.24inches (6.0 mm) per year. Projections of sea level rise are shown under three different scenarios ofIntermediate-Low (1–2 feet), Intermediate (3–4 feet), and Extreme (9–11 feet) sea level rise. Thescenarios depict the range of future sea level rise based on factors such as global greenhouse gasemissions and the loss of glaciers and ice sheets.

As onestudent commented, “it was comforting to know someone was looking out for us,” and anothercommented, “[as a STEM transfer student] the mentor knows exactly what we are going throughand can give suggestions from [the mentor’s] perspective.” Several students also described thebenefit of goal setting and having the opportunity to reflect on these goals. Other students foundthe peer mentoring less useful during year two, because they already felt successful in theircoursework, and had already identified their goals.

If L2 proficiency isnot required for promotion where it is critically needed –the U.S. Foreign Service and themilitary– it is understandable that the perception of lack of importance is widespread in theU.S. what in turn explains the shortage in such qualification among the general population. Interestingly, there is some ideological pressure to comply with the idea that theknowledge of an L2 is somewhat valuable or, more plausible, that denying the value of L2 competence reflects negatively on the respondent. That explains why 50% of Eddy’s [10] sample disagreed or strongly

As previously described, each attribute score ranges between 0and 1, and the schedule score ranges roughly between 0 and 1. These values are multiplied by theinstructor’s chosen weighting factors in order to reflect their relative importance. Onto thiscompatibility score is added any prevented teammates penalty, required teammates penalty,and/or gender isolation penalty. This final sum is then normalized in order to give a score thatlies generally within the range 0 to 100. A team score can go outside this range only bybecoming negative because one or more of the penalties applies, or by going over 100

Therefore, the underrepresentation of women incomputer science is an important topic that has begun to garner university program’s attention.This shortage of computer scientists has prompted the computing community and educationresearchers to be more reflective about current practices in order to try to attract and retain morestudents, especially women, to keep pace with industry demands.

, this individual goes on to say that they could not be as lenient for programs that “havethose absolute course requirements,” such as engineering.As a result, much effort is directed toward ensuring student veterans are aware of transferpolicies and receive course credit, if possible, for work completed elsewhere. Some universitystaff spend a great deal of time negotiating and advocating for student veterans to receivetransfer credit. However, several interviewees indicated that the transfer evaluation process hasmany shortcomings. The IAs expressed that the process is “tricky” “frustrating” and “somethingthat could be improved across the board.” This was particularly the case for engineering.In reflecting on challenges that student veterans

The following is a summary of the lessons learned:  Learning in an undergraduate CS/CE program requires, at a minimum, a programmatic sequence of required courses (some of which are the gateway courses) that reflect a focused and conceptually-coherent development of disciplinary principles and practices. In turn, conceptually coherent courses provide students with the prerequisite knowledge necessary for success in subsequent courses within the CS program. Many students lack adequate and relevant background knowledge necessary to successfully complete those gateway courses that are required prerequisites for entry into a degree program in CS.
