(2013) this is still happening [3]. A reason why this continues to be an issue may be a gap in theliterature with the lack of papers describing best practices on recruiting and retaininginternational students [3]. Considering that, in 2013 Özturgut (2013) implemented a study to look Page 19.19.3into this issue and wrote an initial study on those best practices. The summary of the results arebelow: Best Practices in Recruiting International Students that emerged from Özturgut (2013)’s study on international student recruitment are: 1. Providing academic support and utilizing campus resources; 2. Attending and participating in

impact of cases. Thiel et al.’s quantitative study of student reaction toemotionally-based cases suggests a distinct relationship between students’ “knowledgeacquisition and its transfer to ethical decision-making” [7, p. 277]. Using cases, then, is aneffective way to capture student attention and aid in retention of ethical precepts.Second, cases can pose real problems encountered by real people. The NSPE, for example, hascollected and sanitized all of the situations probed by its Board of Ethical Review and has postedthem for general usage. The advantage of these cases is that they include several components:case recitation, code violations, board discussions, precedents, and disposition [8]. Real cases are“messier” than confected textbook

Education, 2014 Use of Microsoft Testing Tools to Teach Software Testing: An Experience ReportAbstractThis paper reports our experience using Microsoft testing tools in both graduate and under-graduate Software Testing courses for four semesters. In particular, we used Microsoft Visu-al Studio Ultimate 2010 (including Microsoft Test Manager 2010) and Microsoft TeamFoundation Server 2010, which together offer an integrated and comprehensive environmentfor the application lifecycle management, including test planning, authoring, automation,execution, tracking, monitoring and managing. We assessed our experience in using thetools from the student`s and the teacher’s points of view. Based on students’ feedback

This should be included just after the description of each unit. § State the physics (i.e. creeping flow) and give the equation. Define terms and explain why relevant to the functionality of your device. § Describe the boundary conditions – equations are preferable. Justify and explain the assumptions. § Describe the parameters varied. For example, flow rates from 1 to 10 um/s were simulated. o Include a table/other to succinctly and clearly organize your simulation conditions &

This survey was developed at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation – College ofEducation North Carolina University [18] to collect and interpret information about students’ attitudestoward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects, postsecondary pathways, andcareer interests. This instrument is free to access and modify for educational use and can be adapted tolocal conditions as long as the source is cited.Given that the audience of the course is Spanish-speaking, the project used, translated, and adapted aversion

Also, all the authorsmet on Zoom collectively twice. Author 1 and author 2 discussed the findings and theirnarratives multiple times.

discussion activity in the workshop investigated in thisstudy is like the AUT, but two major differences: (1) the participants were given physical objectsthat they can explore by their senses and (2) the participants were asked to determine the object’sbasic function(s) along with its societal functions and metaphorical connotations. By giving theparticipants physical object by asking the participants to think of the societal function of anobject, the workshop facilitator invited participants to expand their thinking to include thesocietal context beyond one’s individual experience. Furthermore, by asking the participants tothink of metaphorical connotations, the workshop facilitator invited participants to furtherexpand their thinking and dig

These areengineering technology (ENGT) and industrial, systems, and manufacturing engineering (ISME).In the late 2010s, the ISME Department added professional certifications as a condition forgraduation [21]. However, only in courses specifically taught by one of the authors were studentsable to gain certifications during the same semester of the courses.1.3.2 ISME. Within ISME, a systems engineering course launched initiatives to align withprofessional certification requirements. It aligned with the International Council of SystemsEngineers (INCOSE)’s Body of Knowledge (BOK) since 2016.

As the method and computer technology matured, FEM wasintroduced at the undergraduate level in engineering and engineering technologyprograms, even in some two-year technology programs. Graphical user-friendlyinterfaces (GUI) have significantly reduced the complexities of the actual application ofFEM software such that engineers with education equal to or less than the
