These benefits includeddevelopment of soft skills, application of technical skills and formation of an internationalperspective. This implies that the faculty was successful at developing the itinerary anddelivering the program in a way that achieved these goals. Despite the overall success of the program, the positive impacts reported by the studentswere not linked to the program components as planned by the faculty. Students reportedreceiving the most benefit and most intense learning from their interaction in the village and notin the laboratory and classroom at the foreign university. They also preferred the

Freudenthal believed that mathematics wasneeded not by a few people, but by everybody and as such it should be taught to be useful foreverybody. He pointed out that the problem was not what kind of mathematics was taught, buthow it was taught. Even the fact that the teacher

Similarly, the term online refers to a course where material is prepared byan instructor (including audio, video, and written formats) and presented to the student over theInternet in an asynchronous fashion. The student can access the class from any Internet-enabledcomputer at any time, and the student learns from the course material on his or her own.

The absence of women faculty and mentors both within the classroomand outside of it, few women students in their classes, and the lack of supportive networks cancreate a “chilly climate” for women in non-traditional fields. It is during this critical period thatmany of them transfer into other fields.12, 5 , 13Research suggests that female students are most concerned about isolation, the perceivedirrelevance of theoretical preparatory courses, negative experiences in laboratory courses,classroom climate, and lack of role models.14 Other studies have suggested that the differentlearning styles of women may influence their desire to enter engineering or technology

The course begins with an over view of material properties and introduceselastic and plastic deformation, as well as brittle fracture. This first section of the courseemphasizes the characterization of material behavior via material properties, and isbacked up with extensive laboratory experimentation, (e.g. tensile tests, torsion tests,charpy impact tests).

Students must often learn new skills (programming, analysis software, laboratory equipment) that are beyond the scope of their completed coursework, and they do not know what resources are available to them.The first problem is one that is only solved by reducing the number of BS/MS students orincreasing the number of faculty advisors. Both solutions are beyond the students’ control, sothey are beyond the scope of topics for a Graduate Seminar.
