Table 1: Simplex Tableau 1 The teacher begins by asking student, “What is the current solution?” The studentresponds, “I have no clue.” The student is then asked, “Which columns form the identitymatrix?” The response may still be clueless. The teacher reminds the student that an identitycolumn is a column with all zeros and only a single 1. The student can then say that the identitycolumns are z, s1 and s2. The student is questioned regarding the current solution. The studentshould be able to recall that the values of these variables are the right hand side (RHS). Thus, z =0, s1 = 6, s2 = 4 and all other variables are nonbasic and have a value of 0, x1 = x2 = 0. Student B is asked, “What is the next step?” Most likely the student

). Page 22.853.2Ashford (2004) discussed major challenges to engineering education in relation to sustainabledevelopment. With this overarching theme, our reform has taken a multi-pronged approach intwo main areas that include implementing: a) a sequence of three systems courses related toenvironmental and transportation systems that introduce systems thinking, sustainability, systemsanalysis and modeling; and b) service-learning (SL) projects as a means of practicing the systemsapproach. Details of this reform can be found in Dewoolkar et al., (2009a, b, and one inrevision), Hayden et al., (in revision), Lathem et al., (in revision) as well as our website:www.uvm.edu/~sysedcee.The creation of three interconnected systems courses was critical for

classroomsetting.InstructorsThree different instructors taught the six sections of statics that participated in this study. Toreduce the possibility of an instructor-related bias, a guest lecturer was used. Furthermore, thethree instructors each completed a widely-used Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI) to determine ifthere were significant differences between their approaches to teaching statics. Cluster scores forthe TGI were compared using the non-parametric, bivariate correlation using Spearman’s rhothat revealed significant correlations between all pairs of instructors: Instructors A and B(ρ=.975, p, accessed Feb. 2016.19.

writing skills.ObservationsAs the purpose of the project was to focus on the academic, advising, and library concerns,we use these areas as our assessment guidelines. The main academic concern was students’writing abilities. In the past 10 years, approximately 4,500 students have completed theE/FEWP integrated writing curriculum. The grades for the first writing assignment in the fallsemester have consistently averaged in the B- to C+ range. The final conference paper gradeshave always increased to an average grade of A-. As a result, the English department nowwaves the Seminar in Composition course for engineering students because the writingcomponent in the freshman year is meeting or exceeding the goals of a standard first-semesterwriting

The Summer Engineering InstituteThe Summer Engineering Institute (SEI) is a two-week residential program held on campus atSan Francisco State University. The goals of the program are to introduce students to theengineering educational system and the engineering profession, to recruit students into anengineering field, increase student awareness of resources and skills needed for college success,and to increase student knowledge of specific engineering topics. Appendices B-1 and B-2 showa summary of the schedule of the 2009 Summer Engineering Institute that was held from July19th to July 31st
