(a): Problem for the group exercise; (b) Problem in the second midterm.2 In this study, features of problems that fail to engage students in learning as intendedwere revealed. Fig. 1(a) shows one such problem with perceived “normal and standard”representations that drive students to rush through problem-solving processes habitually withoutbeing watchful of important concepts and principles in the domain knowledge. Detailed analysesof two group discussions, Groups WA and FL, while working on the problem disclosed suchbehaviors. Table III shows the representative talks from one group, Group FL.

This assignment has been described by students as their most creative of any of theirassignments to a very difficult task. Obviously as the students look at the plan each year theymay be surprised to learn that they are exactly on their same plan, while others may see that theynow need to make several major revisionsThe next three items, catching up, 8 hours of sleep, and study groups are strictly out of the 4.0Plan.

educators on social and economic pillars, itdoes not provide sufficient insight into where to begin this shift toward a more balancedperspective on sustainability. In this study, we endeavor to address this gap in the literature firstby both (a) exposing which topics and challenges in the environment are neglected byengineering students in speaking to environmental sustainability, and (b) which social andeconomic aspects of sustainability do indeed make it onto the radar screen forstudents. Knowing (a) provides implicates for what needs to be added to existing stand-aloneand integrated models of sustainability in the engineering curriculum; knowing (b) gives someinsight into an appropriate starting point to connect to student interests in social

networks from among those we discussed in class (e.g.Bluetooth, 802.11, Passive RFID, etc.) and some that were not discussed but the studentsdiscovered on their own (e.g. Zigbee, WISP, etc.). Figure 2(b) shows the results of theassessment of their network choice. While one of any number of protocols could satisfy thedesign requirements, in the assessment we were looking to see that students provided a clearjustification for their selection of network. For example, some students justified their networkselection by pointing to the environment in which these sensors will be installed, a hospital. Theobservation was made by many students that in a hospital there are extra limitations on the use ofthe RF spectrum so as to not cause interference with

The Heartspring context gives the ECE 571students tremendous leeway when choosing the application area and design form factor. Thefollowing sections describe the details of the assignment and the

the unique experiences that women faculty face as a gender minority in academicengineering programs. By situating this study within the context of three selective doctoral grantinginstitutions, this study was unique in that it uncovered how institutional processes and programs directlyinfluenced the success of women faculty in engineering. Although women at all three universities facedsimilar challenges including gender bias, work/family conflict, and the “two-body problem,” interviewees’perceptions of the effectiveness of the policies and programs differed significantly by site. This studyprovided insights into how women faculty perceive many of these programs as well as the factors thatinfluence the decision to utilize the policies that
