survey research discussed in this article addresses agap in the literature by developing a quantitative approach to graduate student identitydevelopment in engineering, education, and engineering education. We explore graduatestudents’ perceptions of their multiple roles today and in the future, focusing on a) the actualroles they currently hold, b) the roles they desire to hold now and in the future, and c) the rolesthey believe they are expected to hold now and in the future.TerminologyThroughout this research key terms were used with distinct definitions in mind. First, the termidentity is used in terms of who a person is in the professional sense. For example, for graduatestudents and professoriate, identity often includes the roles of

that faculty now faced students,many instructors feel their interaction with students during problem solving is vastly improved.From the student survey results, it was clear most students preferred faculty use of tablets andDyKnow to traditional chalkboard based lectures. Students and faculty both reported likingTablet PCs but there was insufficient data to support general conclusions about their impact onteaching and learning. An initial comparison of grades from the first year DyKnow and TabletPCs were used to the previous year showed the distribution of A and B grades to very similar.This is probably to be expected, as it would not be expect that measurable change in the moretalented students’ grades would occur.

Next, clicking on the block moves it to the space between the radiation sourceand the detector. Counts can then be measured by setting the time interval and clicking on the counterbutton. Process is repeated for different number of shielding blocks; thus gathering data for differentthicknesses. Entire process can then be repeated for blocks made of different material.

The motor does notchange linearly to a linear change in percent modulation. The measurement data of the motorresponse is shown in Figure 4-a. This non-linearity is countered by using MATLAB® tocompare the actual motor values to a desired linear set of values ranging from minimum tomaximum motor current. The percent modulation, which corresponds to the desired current, isplaced in a look up table, which is represented in Figure 4-b. Finally, the motor values are bandlimited to 20% of maximum possible thrust. The thrust limitation is implemented because watertesting of the
