Puerto Rico and the U.S. VirginIslands reflect an increase in sea level of about 0.08 inches (2.0 mm) per year for the period 1962–2017 for Puerto Rico and for 1975–2017 for the U.S. Virgin Islands. The bottom panels show acloser look at more recent trends from 2000 to 2017 that measure a rise in sea level of about 0.24inches (6.0 mm) per year. Projections of sea level rise are shown under three different scenarios ofIntermediate-Low (1–2 feet), Intermediate (3–4 feet), and Extreme (9–11 feet) sea level rise. Thescenarios depict the range of future sea level rise based on factors such as global greenhouse gasemissions and the loss of glaciers and ice sheets.

As onestudent commented, “it was comforting to know someone was looking out for us,” and anothercommented, “[as a STEM transfer student] the mentor knows exactly what we are going throughand can give suggestions from [the mentor’s] perspective.” Several students also described thebenefit of goal setting and having the opportunity to reflect on these goals. Other students foundthe peer mentoring less useful during year two, because they already felt successful in theircoursework, and had already identified their goals. Because these meetings could occur throughe-mail, most students did not find

If L2 proficiency isnot required for promotion where it is critically needed –the U.S. Foreign Service and themilitary– it is understandable that the perception of lack of importance is widespread in theU.S. what in turn explains the shortage in such qualification among the general population. Interestingly, there is some ideological pressure to comply with the idea that theknowledge of an L2 is somewhat valuable or, more plausible, that denying the value of L2 competence reflects negatively on the respondent. That explains why 50% of Eddy’s [10] sample disagreed or strongly

As previously described, each attribute score ranges between 0and 1, and the schedule score ranges roughly between 0 and 1. These values are multiplied by theinstructor’s chosen weighting factors in order to reflect their relative importance. Onto thiscompatibility score is added any prevented teammates penalty, required teammates penalty,and/or gender isolation penalty. This final sum is then normalized in order to give a score thatlies generally within the range 0 to 100. A team score can go outside this range only bybecoming negative because one or more of the penalties applies, or by going over 100

Therefore, the underrepresentation of women incomputer science is an important topic that has begun to garner university program’s attention.This shortage of computer scientists has prompted the computing community and educationresearchers to be more reflective about current practices in order to try to attract and retain morestudents, especially women, to keep pace with industry demands. As such, researchers haveexplored various engagement strategies in the field of computer science. One of the strategies withincreased attention in the last two decades is the idea of

, this individual goes on to say that they could not be as lenient for programs that “havethose absolute course requirements,” such as engineering.As a result, much effort is directed toward ensuring student veterans are aware of transferpolicies and receive course credit, if possible, for work completed elsewhere. Some universitystaff spend a great deal of time negotiating and advocating for student veterans to receivetransfer credit. However, several interviewees indicated that the transfer evaluation process hasmany shortcomings. The IAs expressed that the process is “tricky” “frustrating” and “somethingthat could be improved across the board.” This was particularly the case for engineering.In reflecting on challenges that student veterans

Additionally, the students should be given opportunities to practiceintegrating the design considerations of each area into a design context. This might be done through ahands-on project or through reflective design portfolios. 14Conclusions/Future WorkThroughout the conceptual design process, many constructs of coordination of knowledge about adesign are apparent.
