The regularly used technical skills are committed to memory, and external information resources are not needed in these cases. More complex problems and problems with multiple possible solution paths for which they have to evaluate the quality of the different solution paths will create difficulties for the individual. Overall intellectual capability may be a limiting factor. Fluency The individual has extensive knowledge

One product of this pattern is student workon the thesis does not accurately represent the student‘s actual writing proficiency.Industry Perspectives and Performance ExpectationsAlthough technical knowledge is essential for expert performance in any domain,15 thatknowledge alone does not ensure successful performance in industry. Rather, Hart argues that―to be an engineer is to be a technical communicator. Engineering is a problem-solvingprofession and clear communication leads to effective solutions.‖16 In fact, most research inengineering education explicitly emphasizes the need to prepare students for

In exceptional cases, the efforts of the student(s) maybe justifiable for credits towards an independent study course or even a senior design project.Incorporation of design all through an engineering curriculum provides opportunities for youngengineers to recognize their full potential and increase their confidence level significantly. Thus, theywould be better prepared to meet the most critical demands of today’s industry.

Gender identity is something everyone has and it is a dynamicvariable which shifts and changes depending upon the different contexts and environments.Gender is not essential or natural; it is the various acts of gender that create gender. Gender is aperformance; it is what someone does, not who s/he is.12There is a societal position that supposes several irrefutable concepts regarding gender, includingthe beliefs that there are two genders (masculine and feminine) and biological sex organsdetermine gender.13 Dividing society into the binary

barriers to a smoothacademic path. However, even for the most well-prepared students, mentoring opportunities willbe lost by using only the prescriptive style in all situations. The developmental advising stylecontrasts with prescriptive advising in that it is interactive and focuses on the growth anddevelopment needs of the student, and is based on student development theory.The 70’s saw much significant research into student development theory, giving rise to theconcept that higher education personnel should support students as they developed into adults.Student development theories include psychosocial-identity formation theories such as the workof Chickering 18, cognitive development theories, including the work of Kohlberg 19, and

Statics is a “threshold concept” in engineering in that mastery ofthis area can serve as a “conceptual gateway” that opens up “previously inaccessible way(s) ofthinking about something” [1]. However, many statics courses have a high failure rate, and manystudents who pass still have difficulty conceptualizing important topics and may have trouble infollow-up courses [2-4].
