instructional team for the MET SDP wasbased first and foremost on the quality of reports and presentations that were being submitted. Ingeneral, despite their instruction in Technical Communication classes, students tended to revertto old habits and treated the “write up” as an add-on to the engineering work, and thus somethingto be left for the last minute. Not surprising, report and presentation quality reflected thoseperceptions. These reports were, in the words of the engineering faculty members, “Unreadable,unprofessional, and unacceptable.” The writing consultant’s assessment of the unmentoredreports noted: • Lack of appropriate formatting: students wrote “one big document” without definitive sections, headings, or other visual

They are given one semester to come upwith a detailed solution to the problem; at the end of the semester they present and defend thatsolution for a panel of experts. The problem

An important advantage of HSE over other learning environments is that the long-term nature of HSE projects (at least one school-year in duration, often longer) allows studentstime to reflect on “where they are” in a model such as that in Figure 8. With coaches that arefluent in the elementary language and tools of design, and thus able to navigate a more complexmodel of the design process, there will be many more opportunities to teach real aspects ofdesign than in programs with very tight time schedules.After this introduction, there was a group activity that compared three very different types ofstaple removers in a systematic way.13 The three staple removers and sheets

Intersectionality is defined as how socially-constructed social categories such as race andgender intersect and influence experiences 50,51. Instead of examining race, gender, sexualorientation, and other markers of difference as singular identities, Riley & Pawley (2011) useintersectionality to look at individuals’ experiences through their narratives which reflected theirintersecting identities 51.

In the first twocourse offerings, students discussed their ideas and formed their own teams within the groupmembership policy presented earlier in this section. In the third and fourth course offerings, weformalized the team creation process by encouraging students to post their reflections on an“Idea Bounce” blog; the students then “pitched” their app ideas in class, and listed their threebest ideas in order of preference.

The results of the study support the claim that branch coverage subsumes statement coverage.In future studies we plan to investigate other subsumes relations, e.g., multiple condition coverage(MCC) subsumes branch coverage. One limitation of extending the study is that most freely avail-able tools only provide statement and branch coverage, which is two of the less efficient white-boxtesting techniques as reflected in the subsume hierarchy

A disproportionate number of direct-pathway students mentioned anappreciation for their advisors’ assistance networking and for those that serve as a professionalmentor, which could possibly reflect returners’ higher likelihood of having past experiencewithin the field and existing professional connections. There were also interesting trends in someof the negative characteristics identified by students.
