. Unfortunately, no data for Physics IB were collected due toan error in the reporting system. Also, some students may not have reported scores if they weretoo low to receive credit. Thus, there is potentially a larger number of students who took thephysics advanced placement exams than the reported 45-50%.Table 3 shows the level of math and physics preparation of the 2015-2016 incoming class,reflecting the math they were placed into and their self-reporting of AP physics scores. The vastmajority of students test into multivariable calculus, with half self-reporting an AP physics scoreand half not reporting an AP physics score. The students placing into a lower level of math(differential or integral single variable calculus) were much more likely not to

Individual responses from the survey are notavailable in compliance with Cal Poly’s Policy on Human Subjects Research [7].Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Energy Consumption of a Graphing CalculatorNo LCA was readily available for a graphing calculator, so it was modeled as beingsimilar to a laptop, but scaled down to reflect a calculator’s smaller size and lowerpower rating. A TI-84 Plus graphing calculator (very common in the current generationof college students based on the survey) is 14.0% of the mass of the laptop in question[10] and contains 12.6% of the volume of the same laptop. Other graphing calculatorsare also similar in size, both in mass and in volume when compared to a laptop in thisway. Since

most useful for addressingchallenges that are complex, require many people, and in which there is a high degree ofuncertainty about the best approach.1 This set of conditions holds true far beyond productdevelopment.One such scenario is that of planning and implementation of organizational interventions –anenvironment in which “strategic planning” is often the tool of choice but one which is ineffectivein a networked (rather than hierarchical) context. An alternative approach described in this paperis “strategic doing”. As in agile product development, the approach uses iterative cycles ofimplementation, learning and reflection, and improvement, with a focus on rapidexperimentation and gradual scaling up of solutions.

There is extensive overlap across the continuum from creation/discoveryto execution and outcome. Center programs and lead personnel assignments are being designedto focus on areas of the continuum most appropriate for the stage of the opportunity, theindividuals involved, the technology being pursued, and other relevant factors. This I&Econtinuum, as we envision it, is reflected in Figure 1.Key initiatives of the Center include creation of an Innovators & Entrepreneurs guest speakerseries, execution of a coordinated pitch competition strategy, development of a mentor network,enhanced curricular programming

Throughoutthis paper, we refer to the teams as Hardware Team, Mattress Team, and Lighting Team. Eachteam was assigned the task of creating displays in the store for the corresponding product. Wecollected two sources of data: design notebooks and team design documents.Design Notebooks: In order to record the students’ design concepts, each student wrote in adesignated notebook. The students were asked in these notebooks to record their reflections,ideas, and thought processes. In the notebooks, individual students documented their earlyconcepts in response to

In reading accounts of engineers and theirwork, the author has encountered suitable passages in abundance; it has been more of an issue tokeep track of useful passages and to prepare the assignment.While repeated use in more than one course is appropriate and may even be desirable, thecollection needs to be much larger to avoid undue repetition.

capability.”During the final interview with Team 1, another student stated: “I mean, there was some stuff that [the lab] kind of thought of late, [features] that they sort of thought about and they wanted added in… they didn't really tell us about [the features] until way into the designing process.”These thoughts were reflected in the students’ post-course surveys. For example, one Team 1student added a caveat to their pre-course response about how stakeholders should have aprominent role during design: “Stakeholders should have a large role but they also need to understand the entire design process and know what kind of limitations there are.”The same Team 1 student also changed their pre-course response to Question 4

Here we present qualitative results of thesurvey.MethodologyFor the follow up survey we utilized the database of clients who enrolled inextracurricular courses in IT from Unium. We have been provided with data going backto 2007. From the broad range of educational courses offered by Unium we have focusedonly on those that are IT-related, namely: Web-design, computer flash graphics, andprogramming in C/C++. We limited the selection pool to over 900 pupils satisfying thosecriteria, including 142 girls.We aimed to form a group of 8-10 young women for a focus

This local database on the Raspberry Pi had seven data tables; twofor the acoustic Doppler current profiler, four for the weather transmitter and one for the waterquality Sonde. Some instruments used multiple tables to store data in a way that reflected howdata was retrieved from them. All of the tables in the local database had an index column thatserved as the primary key, a column with time stamps from the system time and columns of datavalues. The data values were stored as floating point numbers to preserve precision.6.0 System

. Actually this argument is also astrong reason why engineering needs more women trained in engineering to increasediversity in the values and perspectives of engineering personnel and to change methodsand processes of delivering material to future generations of engineers.In 2001, Lazarus, Ritter, and Ambrose underscored the seriousness of the lack of womenin engineering and science doctoral programs in “The Woman’s Guide to Navigating thePh.D. in Engineering & Science.”2 They reported that of the 5,919 engineeringdoctorates awarded in 1998, only 769 (13%) were earned by women. These figures donot reflect the continued under representation of domestic women in engineeringprograms. Table 1 presents the national summary of PhD degrees in

The findings in this regard are consistent, and they reflect those reported byMcCabe40–the percentage of undergraduates who report engaging in any type of cheating ishighest for those students enrolled in “vocationally-oriented majors such as business andengineering”: business (91%), engineering (82%), social sciences (73%), and natural sciences(71%).Over the past seven years, the E3 Team has designed
