As Reichlmayr 10 explains,at the Rochester Institute of Technology, IID is taught to sophomore computer science and ECEstudents, who have already learned programming. The approach proposed here has been usedsuccessfully, as evidenced by student, peer, and self assessments, to teach a large and diversegroup of Civil, Chemical, Electrical & Computer, and Mechanical Engineering students.2.

study engineering. This has led to the development of problem-based freshman engineering courses2,4-9, including the EGR 190 Fundamentals of Engineeringcourse here at WSU. Such courses are typically designed to give students a broad, application-based introduction to the various engineering disciplines, so that they can begin to appreciatewhy they must endure the rigor of their subsequent engineering curricula. As might be expected,this can have a significant impact on early retention of incoming students. For example,researchers at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne have recently publishedquantitative data directly relating increased retention to enrollment in their ETCS 101Introduction to Engineering, Technology and Computer
Session 1331 The Engineering Problem-Solving Process: Good for Students? Durward K. Sobek II, Vikas K. Jain Montana State UniversityAbstractAs part of an ongoing effort to better understand student problem-solving processes to open-ended problems, we have coded 14 mechanical engineering projects (representing about 60journals) according to abstraction level, design activity, planning, and reporting. We alsodeveloped quantitative outcome measures that are reported in a separate submission to thisconference. We then developed a computer model of the journal data that correlates

implemented and evaluated in several different contexts.Examples include using specifications grading in two math courses [13], in an organic chemistrylaboratory course [14], in a chemistry writing course [15], in laboratory courses with over 1,000students [16], and in a biology course [17]. A study involving the integration of a standards-basedgrading system in five science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses foundthat standards-based grading improved students’ self-efficacy and was perceived as valuable bythe students [18].In engineering, there are examples of using both standards-based grading and specificationsgrading. They are closely related with a focus on students demonstrating mastery of standards orcriteria based on

workplace.Thirty years of social science research have documented that although explicit bias againstwomen and other under-represented groups is far less common today, subtle (or implicit) biasremains rampant. Such studies typically ask subjects to rate identical resumes with a man’s orwoman’s name or names associated with different racial groups. These studies have documentedthe same patterns of racial and gender bias over and over again.Women and people of color are rated unfavorably by potential employers even if they haveidentical resumes with their male or white counterparts. For instance, Moss-Racusin et al. (2012)asked professors in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to rate theresumes for a job as a lab manager and found that
