As an assessment tool, oralexaminations have proven to be effective [3], but there still remains the barrier for students toproperly prepare for this type examination. Coupled with the distance learning environment andlimited verbal communication, oral examinations may pose a challenge for students withoutproper intervention to alter studying strategies.Typically, oral examinations involve an examiner (typically members of the teaching teamincluding the instructor and instructional assistant) verbally posing questions to students.Students are tasked to answer the question as appropriate and may use the assistance of a whiteboard to think aloud and

It has been admitting 20-24 students each year and has an 85 percentretention rate for all four years. The honors program attributes its success to a number ofspecific high impact practices including; 1. Assigning a honors faculty advisor; 2. A honorsstudent association responsible for social and academic activities; 3. Maintaining cohesion byplacing each cohort into nine honors courses in the first three years; 4.

. 11. INTRODUCTIONSeveral factors have been identified to contribute to the uneven pursuit and completion of engineering andcomputer science degrees based on race and ethnicity: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering or computerscience as fields of study or as career opportunities [1], (b) the lack of professional identity (inability tosee oneself as a professional) [2], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [3, 4], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with a prospective situation) [5]. Thedemands of an engineering and computer science curriculum contribute to high dropout rates [6], evenhigher for underrepresented students [3, 7, 8].

therefore extend the meta-theory.I. IntroductionFor years, reports have validated the importance of problem solving in the workplace. Forinstance the SCANS Report “What Work Requires of Schools” [1], states that problem solving isan essential thinking skill for workers. Engineers, physicians, managers, etc. are hired, retained,and rewarded for their abilities to solve workplace problems. For engineering education, thismeans a challenge to integrate workplace real-world problems into the curriculum and stayingabreast with new challenges and changing roles of engineers in the workplace.If education programs are to fulfill these challenges, a better understanding of the nature ofworkplace problem solving is necessary.

In recent years, the curriculum hasstarted using more project-based courses. In these updated courses, the theory covered via lectureis merged with hands-on project work.
