isvalid, not only for concentrated courses, but, indeed, for every course taught, includingtraditional semester-length courses. There are several strategies that can be employed to monitorand improve quality in concentrated courses. By far, the most obvious method for ensuringquality is to carefully select which course(s) will be taught in a concentrated format. Having aclear rationale (i.e. student demand) and a valid pedagogic response (i.e. concentrated formatswork well for case-study teaching) ensures that courses selected for this format will be chosenwith care and emphasis on student learning.In addition to appropriately selecting courses, explicitly documenting the course expectationsand objectives, and communicating them to students in

These interviewsled to subsequent visits with technicians during which the technicians and the team isolated theapplication(s). A video clip of the technician discussing their job and their use of math wasincluded in the snapshots. Students and faculty have a better acceptance of the research whenthey see and hear the employees speaking. The full team (six to eight faculty) would thenresearch and write about the applications that would eventually be highlighted in the snapshot.Faculty found industry very eager to cooperate and willing to invest the time to contribute to abetter curriculum.

The final design plans andspecifications were submitted in November 1996 to Concord Community Board and presentedby the students during a special community meeting. Bids were entertained from three differentcontractors and construction contract awarded in December 1996.

measurement. Further, it is also possible that a metric/method that adequatelymeasures a particular outcome in question does not exist. In this case, by triangulating differentmethods and metrics, one obtains multiple surrogates for the real measure of the outcome, thusproviding a much needed anchor measure where none exists.Once results from triangulation have been obtained, statistical methods may be used to determinethe relationships among the various metrics. If there is strong correlation among the metrics,then the use of multiple measures may be reduced. Those metrics/measures that are moreefficient and cost effective could then be used to routinely assess students’ progress on anoutcome(s). The more in-depth, and often more costly metrics

females in non-traditional fields.However, few engineering technology faculty are women. Universities find it difficult to locatewomen who meet the TAC-ABET qualifications for technology faculty. Of the 382,700engineers in industry with master’s degrees, only 10.7% are women. If a doctorate is required,search and screen committees will only find 6.8% of the 80,300 industry engineering PhD.’s arewomen3. Because this data does not break out years of experience, and because the number ofthe women in the field has become significant only recently, the actual number of womencandidates who meet the requirement of masters with three years of industrial experience isactually lower.There is a critical link between female students pursuing degrees in the
