type. For example, if theaverage student score on the exam has been declining each time the exam is offered, then theprogram should recognize this trend and investigate the causes and remedies – closing the loop.Also, if the average scores are good or even rising over time – the definition of success - butspecific question(s) on a specific topic has been consistently poor, then once again the programshould recognize that this concept, which is part of the students desired skill set or it wouldn’t bein the exam, needs to be investigated. Therefore, a tool such as the senior competency exam hasa lot of potentially useful data which can be utilized for assessment but this information is oftenhard to gather and recognize within the large data set

initially the addition of the organized labor representative,Mr. Dave Fagan, was met with resistance. Many at the university were leery of allowing anofficer of an organized labor union into a position that advises a professional program.However, it was pointed out that as Financial Secretary, Mr. Fagan is the “Number 4” person in a23,000 member local (to put it into perspective, Local 150’s funded pension fund currentlystands in excess of $3.5 billion). As such, he would be the equivalent of a Senior Vice Presidentin a major corporation. As it turned out, his input was excellent. As an officer in a major tradeunion (with strong political ties), he had insight on state budget matters, which play a strong rolein the health of the local construction

Interviews (BEI) technique was chosen as atechnique to assess students’ level of leadership competence. The basic principle ofcompetency approach is that what people think or say about their motives or skills is notcredible. Only what they actually do, in the most critical incidents they have faced, is tobe believed22. Therefore, the objective of BEI is to get very detailed behavioraldescriptions of how a person goes about doing his/her work22. The questions are basedon real situations and the interviewee is asked to describe the specific behaviors,thoughts, and actions s/he has shown in real critical situations. An example BEIquestion is; “Describe a time when, against all odd, you were able to get a project ortask completed within the defined

The reader shouldbe aware that from the 360 / 400 projects (45 workshops × 8 to 9 projects each), the studentswere aware that 30 projects were to be selected for the finals, and 3 projects from these finals areto win prizes.As a result of this minor instructional delivery modification, the students within each of Friday’sworkshops divided themselves fairly among the five energy categories. Hence, just as required,this produced at least one team per renewable energy category.This example demonstrates the great influence an instructor has on the class s/he teaches. It alsoshows how minor modifications to the instructional delivery strategy can have big impacts on theinstructional progress within a classroom.3. Case

We can further substantiate this claim with data from post-program surveysconducted among former participants who matriculate elsewhere. Nearly 65% of them major inmechanical engineering at other colleges and universities (92% major in various engineeringfields). Retention rates among LITE matriculants are significantly higher than those of otherstudents, including women students. We have retained nearly 100% of all LITE matriculants, ahighly favorable number by any standard. Only one student has left the University beforecompleting her degree. Four (4) have graduated. Among them are two women who intend tocomplete Ph.D.’s in STEM disciplines. One attends graduate

Linearity is ameasure of how well the transducer output increase linearly with increasing pressure.Linearity eliminates the need for a complicated set of algorithms to calculate the dynamicpressure from the pressure recorded by the sensor.Pressure range In order to pick the right sensor, it was first necessary to calculate the range ofpressures the sensor will be deployed in. The initial bench test was done in a still watertank with a depth of 3 feet. The calculation of the pressure range was as follows:  kg  mP = ρgh = 1000  9.81 2 (0.9144m ) = 8.96 x103 Pa = 1.30 psi  m  s  At 3 feet (0.9144m) of water, the pressure

The planar linkage has sixkinematic links and seven kinematic joints with one degree of freedom [9]. Link 3-4 and 1-6 areprismatic joints (sliders). The rest are rotational joints. Since the mechanism has one degree offreedom, the kinematic quantality including position, velocity, and acceleration of the linkage canbe calculated from input crank link 2’s position and angular velocity and acceleration by kinematicanalysis. The forward and backward time ratio can be calculated from Equation (1). If an external force acts on link 6 slider, other links’ reactions and the input toque on thecrank can be found by kinetic analysis
