The industry-supported team students' project enhances professional, intellectual, and personal development of students while addressing the needs of local industry. In addition to achieving academic excellence, the students are exposed to industry requirements, and excel in effective oral communication and cooperative teamwork. The teamwork…

This bibliography was designed specifically for faculty members or administrators involved in science, mathematics, engineering, and/or technology (SMET) interested in teaching and learning issues. Specifically, it addresses research, theory and/or practice in small groups, and cooperative instruction focusing on SMET disciplines in higher…

The hearing reported in this document focuses on K-12 and undergraduate science, mathematics, and engineering education and the improvement of the educational system to prepare the 21st century workforce. The report includes statements from Ms. Narvella R. West, Executive Director for Science, Dallas Independent School District; Dr. Geoffrey C.…

This document provides the administrative, management, and supervisory guidance necessary to successfully conduct and support grades 7-12 science symposia. It was developed as the operations manual for the Pacific Region Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (PJSHS) program for 2002-2003 which is an 10-month, precollege student research program…

Establishing international collaborations between engineering education programs often entails a number of different activities, none of which are easy to establish or maintain. It is easy to lose sight of the goals. This paper suggests using student outcomes as a way of assessing and focusing these collaborations. The topic will be addressed…

This publication provides detailed statistical data on degrees in science and engineering fields by the race/ethnicity of recipients from 1989-1997. Bachelor's and master's degree data were obtained from the universe institution surveys of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education. Data on doctorates are…

This paper outlines the role that an innovative technology can play in assisting course designers in the development of new curricula aimed at engineering degree courses. A Knowledge Based System (KBS) which embodies expertise in course design is described. The KBS described gives advice on curriculum development concepts, principles, and…

This paper explores the mathematical education of electronic engineering students through an analysis of how mathematics is constituted for the purpose of learning in a university setting. The nature and role of mathematics, offered to students via implicit and explicit messages within mathematics and engineering discourse, is described.…

It includes summaries, funding data, and contact information for a broad range of programs. An introduction discusses the mission of NIDRR and provides an overview of its research program. Programs are…

In the essays in this book interdisciplinary groups of scholars and teachers explore ways to integrate the feminist science studies scholarship into the teaching of basic science and how to insert more basic science into the teaching of women's studies. The essays of part 1, New Courses and New Intellectual Frameworks: Transforming Courses in…

We have built several multimedia tutors for science and engineering education. This paper discusses Design for Manufacturing tutors and an electronic homework systems used by over 2000 students daily. The engineering tutors instruct students on efficient procedures for designing parts for manufacture. The goal is to support a deeper understanding…

This paper discusses current theories of learning and their application to engineering education, particularly in Latin American nations. The principal objective is to show methods by which insight can be gained into human learning, particularly in the engineering colleges. The development of more effective engineering teaching remains a necessary…
