…:” Making Meanings of Being a Woman in EngineeringAbstractEngineering is often described as one of the last bastions of a macho culture where womencontinue to experience minority status. In this article we ask, how do women make meaning ofthis status? We explore this question in the context of students‟ socialization into the professionover the course of their engineering education. Drawn from diary data, our findings show thatyoung women hold multiple and contradictory perspectives about their status as women inengineering. The strands of these perspectives are articulated around (a) a feminist critique, (b)gender essentialism, (3) meritocracy and individualism, and (d) exceptionalism. These findingssuggest that their taken-for-granted assumptions

Missiles, with some notable exceptions, are typically used as weapons of war. Theyare usually launched in an instantaneous manner (no taxi or takeoff run) from an airplane or aground station, and explode with some degree of lethality at their terminus (instant landing).Moreover, missiles are generally not reuseable.Airplane wings generally have higher aspect ratios than missile fins, although some fightersmight be viewed as exceptions. Airplanes are usually powered by reciprocating or jet engines.With some exceptions, missiles are typically powered by either liquid

Basic achievement of the SO is set to be 73%, the minimumto earn a ‘C’, as students are required to average at least a 2.0 to graduate.There are two measures that will be employed for testing student success based on this masterygoal. The first measure is to take the average scores course-wide and compare against the masterytarget. A higher average than the target suggests that the majority of students exceed theperformance goal. The second metric is to evaluate each student individually to see if they exceedthe mastery goal. Ideally every graduate of our engineering program should demonstrate masteryin each of the 7 SOs. Both measures contribute to both assessing the efficacy of the courseinstruction and

They felt that the activitieshelped them gain knowledge effectively and improved their learning curves significantly. Thatsentiment is well reflected in the final assessment surveys. The ratings have been improvinggradually since the course assessment has been implemented. The Course Assessment is one ofthe most efficient and economical assessment tools that a small or medium-sized engineeringprogram can effectively incorporate as a core assessment tool to achieve students’ learningoutcomes and the educational objectives of the program.Bibliography 1

It is convenient to assumethere are three existing sets of courses topics A, B, and C, from which the integrated course, I isto be developed. The procedure is as follows: (1) Start with development of course objectives for I. (2) Decompose each of A, B, and C into learning elements. (3) Construct a concept map from the combined set of elements in (2) that will achieve the objectives in (1). (4) Detail an outline and syllabus for the proposed course.

Each of the 276 points represents a studentenrolled in the class in a particular semester, therefore any student repeating the course appearsas more than one point on the graph. The points are color-coded according to course grade: A =blue, B = red, C = orange, and D or F = black. The passing grade in this course is a C.We can rank the students by the total number of words they wrote: less than 1000, 1000 to 2000,2000 to 3000, and more than 3000.

Even if other countries do not have single cultures,they nonetheless provide high-probability sites for encountering unfamiliar ways of thinkingabout engineering work. The additional competency gained from effectively engaging peoplefrom other countries is to learn to work with people who define problems differently. The key questions in problem definition include (a) what counts as relevant knowledge, orhow engineers, and non-engineers, draw boundaries around their problems?; and (b) who countsas engineers, or how do issues of life and career affect engineering work? The opening quiz questions provide examples of each of these. In the first question, theAmericans were amazed that the drawings the
