This concern was addressed by (a) asking the students to only write down their starting/stopping times and dates and (b) telling them that the times reported would not impact their grades or future homework assignments. The consistency of reported times is evidence that there was not significant, isolated over-reporting. 3. The data represents only one upper-level (third year

%) 16 (48%) Critical Components of the Technology Leaders Program The success of a program such as the TLP hinges on A) developing a program structure that will attract and retain students, B) implementing said program structure, and C) adapting the program structure as you learn more about what works and what does not. In this section, we report on the first two dimensions. In the following section, we report on the third dimension. Attracting and Retaining Students in the Technology Leaders Program Two principles have guided the TLP in its efforts to attract and retain students. First, students clearly must benefit from the program and perceive that they are benefitting it. These benefits could be tangible (e.g., internship offers to TLP

The results indicated that the revised PSVT:Rmeasures a unidimentional subcomponent of spatial ability and the scores are reliable formeasuring spatial visualization ability of FYE students. They also indicated that the test isrelatively easy for this population.1
