defined as whether a tool was used correctly, for example, whetherthe correct power and speed settings were used on a laser cutter to pierce 4mm plywood.Technique was defined as whether the student achieved the intended outcome with thetool/technique, such as applying a plasma cutter correctly to execute a clean and detaileddesign. A heavy focus was placed on whether the student/s recovered based on an error andproduced a final part that met the expectations for the homework assignment. Additionally,students’ willingness to modify their design to make better use of the machine weighed heavilyon the technical proficiency score. This scoring system was developed by two independentscorers based on an iterative revision of the rubric after

belief that professional skills are necessary for engineeringstudents’ career preparation. Along the same lines, Dr. Natalie also believed that students shouldacquire both technical and professional skills for career preparation. She particularly emphasizedobtaining management skills for competitive employability: I mean, management is what? Management is basically being able to [be] enabling, achieving common goals, right? I mean that's what brings business. That's what keeps you in business…. So I think it's very true, except that I think in the business that I observe, is you hire for both technical and people skill[s].These responses indicated to us that faculty members understood and suggested the importanceof

The following listroughly outlines how faculty were asked to deliver the assessment to the students in their coursesand then subsequently score the results: • Instructor for course must decide which assignment(s) will be used to measure the required SO o Instructors were allowed to change assignments to best meet
mid-nineties. In contrast, AE enrollment grew till 1988 and then sharply declined. The reason forthis disparity is that while engineering went through downsizing and mergers, 1980’s was adynamic time for aerospace engineering [8]. Truly the eighties were an exciting time for AEindustry where the U.S. increased its funding in the sector to almost excessive [9]. Followingthis period of excessive spending, the sector faced huge downsizing due to the slash infunding and recession. To put it in perspective, the AE sector slashed half a million jobs from1989 to 1995 [9]. Undergraduate enrollment in AE followed similar trends to that of itsindustry. Fletcher (1998) warned that the sharp decline in enrollment in AE will have seriousconsequences on

We used a method adapted fromFerrari [23] which focuses on conducting narrative style reviews. Also, we used Borrego’s [7],[8] methodology for conducting a systematic literature review in engineering education in sixsteps: (1) deciding to conduct a systematic literature review, (2) identifying the scope andresearch question(s), (3) defining inclusion criteria, (4) finding and
that need to be cast through, the texture coordinate, and the depth of the entry point. Theray direction is given by the vector from the entry and exit points in the texture space. Each sample’s position alongthe ray direction is computed via linear interpolation. In terms of how many samples we should take, we set the stepsize as half of a voxel. Users can adjust the Sampling Rate parameter to change the number of samples taken alongeach ray. Note that the assigned opacity also depends on the sampling rate. For example, when using fewer slices, theopacity has to be scaled up, so that the overall intensity of the rendering results remains the same. We use Equation 1to correct the opacity whenever users change the sampling rate s from the

. Historical and current data indicate that the need for science and engineering careers isincreasing, yet the number of students choosing and completing traditional science degrees isdecreasing. The decrease in students choosing and/or being qualified to enter science andengineering fields is continuing even with the programs geared towards increasing awarenessand preparedness. The gap between students entering science and engineering (S&E) fields andgraduating to meet the S&E employment needs was first noted in the early 1990’s. Manyresearchers suggested that recruitment and retention into the qualitative science fields shouldinclude women and minorities to assist in filling in the employment gap. Since a large numberof women and minorities

Upper class students felt recognized by their professors,and the participants agreed that the professors perceived them as capable, good students, andresponsible. This change in perception gave confidence to students, as they explained: …as I entered directly to the major [upper class], that is to move from the Annex to the Principal [building], it was different, the professors recognized that we [women] were good students --it was a change in mentality (Georgina).
