; it cannot be simply counted. Equity suggestsspecial consideration and treatment to achieve a goal. 8Unlike the Civil Rights Act, there were no provisions within Title IX to examine equality ofeducational opportunity on the basis of sex. A search of the ERIC database for journal articlespublished between 1972 and 1978 reveals a very modest increase in publications. However,these publications continued to reflect an emphasis on compliance with non-discriminatorypractices, that is, an emphasis on equality. While this information is still very useful in terms ofdocumenting the slow pace of progress in eliminating discrimination, it provides littleinformation for programmatic interventions to enhance women’s success in engineering.IV.

Nevertheless, it is important that rewards reflect the goals of the institution andit is important to begin the conversation now. As each institution establishes its visionand charts new directions, it should ensure that its faculty reward system supports theinstitutional goals.”Thus, a major task in reshaping graduate education will be to begin this task and to definea parallel system of faculty reward for teaching, creative professional scholarship, andprofessional service that compliments the traditional research-based system for teaching,research, and service in

in class and out of class. 2 Students distinguish goodteaching from bad teaching in part by whether they perceive the learning as being deep, engaging,and reflective, versus superficial, passive, and mostly memorization. This latter condition ariseswhen workload is too high. 1 Therefore, the teacher faces a dilemma. On the one hand, he or shemust demand enough of students, 2 but on the other this will only be effective, and be perceived aseffective, if students have sufficient resources to rise to those demands and to fulfill them in adeep fashion. Time is a resource, and an excessive workload can force students to complete taskssuperficially. These general instructional issues apply to much of the contemporary developmentof computer-based

Construction is a process and as suchit is crucial that students understand it from the unloading of bulk shipments of materials, throughthe cutting and adjustments of the assembly process through to the cleaning and prepping of thefinal product. It is even more important to customize the learning objectives and preparematerials for a field trip that reflect the uniquely obtainable observations available on site.Focusing the learning objectives per each course based on the

Practice makes perfect, and reflecting on what you did in one section willhelp you do a better job in another section. One caveat: More practice is not always anadvantage, as we will discuss in the next section.Reason #3: Questions from students in one section may help in another section.Presenting the material multiple times lets you observe the reactions of different sets ofstudents.
