Also, for this semester the number ofin class quizzes was further reduced, with 4 quizzes for statics and 2 for dynamics. Also thestatics exam was given over 2 class periods, as a common time for both sections of students wasnot available due to the students’ schedules.

The final data sources that were utilized in the study were two separate group interviewswith Black Americans and Black Africans. By grouping the interviewees into separatecategories based on country (or continent) of origin, the lead researcher attempted to identify andunpack within-group differences between these two groups of undergraduates. The duration ofthe group interview with the Black American participants was approximately one and a halfhours, and the length of time for the group interview with the Black African students was onehour and eight minutes.Analysis A

The four dimensions were “how successful they would be”, “their belief in their ability to perform the tasks”, “how motivated they would be to perform the tasks”, and “the degree of anxiety they would feel in performing the following tasks”. The four tasks were a. Identify a problem b. Formulate a problem c. Generate a problem solution d.

For the full details of the steps taken to design and validate the survey, thereader is referred to our previous paper [18]. A brief overview is provided here for readerconvenience. The survey tool was used to evaluate our hypothesis that there are three broaddecision factors used by secondary students when considering whether to study engineering.These decision factors are: Perceptions – of the profession and the undergraduate programs,Achievement – to meet programs’ entrance requirements, and Confidence – self-perception ofqualifications and traits (See Table 1).

course, key activities took place before class, during class, andafter class. Before class and at least one week in advance, lecture notes were given to students,pre-recorded video lectures were posted, and the FLS was also given. Students were expected towatch the videos ahead of class. At the beginning of class, students submitted a hard copy of theFLS, which included (a) their questions about the material covered in the video, (b) a signatureacknowledging that they watched the video, and (c) feedback to continuously improve the pre-recorded video. FLS submission counted as part of the homework grade. During class,approximately one-third of the time was focused on answering and discussing the questionssubmitted on the FLS. This process
