External training providers presented workshops onthe choices that women face in their work and personal lives and on how to dress and behaveprofessionally in the workplace 6.The principle was accepted that social support affects course achievement, as proposed by Marraand Brogue 9. Therefore, in an effort to provide social support and create an identity for womenengineering students, the engineering school secured its own WELA homeroom. In addition, inan effort to

However, the continued growth ofconventional online programs can benefit the credit ratings of brand-name andniche institutions, especially if the well-reputed institutions band together aroundonline offerings to reduce operating costs (Martin, 2012). On the other hand, ifthe reputable institutions rush too carelessly into MOOCs, they could end upreducing their educational stronghold by diluting their brand. Thus, it is importantfor universities to plan carefully their long-term goals in entering the the MOOCmovement, and control the quality of the courses being posted (Lewin, 2012b).This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 reviews and compares the

Forinstance, at Washington State University freshman to senior retention in engineering is 48%. Asnoted in the literature [7], many STEM fields use undergraduate research as a capstoneexperience, held until the end of the curriculum as a culminating experience. However, it has Page

Instead, theinstructor finds himself metaphorically “negotiating a swiftly flowing river” in class.15 Thisrequires agile teaching and the flexibility to deal with the unexpected, which is perhaps outsidesome instructors’ comfort zones, particularly for novices or those not confident of the subjectmatter.3 Additionally, it encourages the instructor to give thought beforehand to possible studentmisconceptions and alternative routes for constructing correct understandings, so that on-the-flyadjustments may be more effective. Also, the insights gained by the formative assessment canbe useful for planning subsequent class

Policies that allow CSt aleave of absence could be helpful.[43] Support for CSt is often ad hoc,[24] although formalpolicies (e.g., for lactation time and space) may benefit students.

The breadth of concepts that a ChE course must cover in its syllabus, especially one thatis part of the core curriculum, limits both the amount of time and instructional strategies thatlesson plans or homework can prescribe to a particular concept[2], [3]. This in turn can detractfrom students’ targeted practice on a particular concept to either not sufficiently demonstrate allcontexts or attempt to do too much at once within problems that can then strain the number ofcognitive tasks students can successfully complete[4].
