Our job as instructors is to make engineering accessible to all students and to encourage them to stay in engineering. It is important to pay particular attention to students from underrepresented groups in our classrooms because they are most vulnerable. This session will dicuss why students choose to leave engineering and what we can do to change such a trend. The panelists will make brief presentations on why students leave and how we can influence this decision making process in a positive way. In addition to dispelling the myth that switcher's are different from 'non- switchers, emphasis will be given to issues that influence the loss of women and minority students from engineering and science disciplines.
Many important factors make a lab run smoothly.
The second is keeping the content of the lab reasonable. Integrating the use of computers with these topics will also be a focus. Please note that the limit for the workshop is 24. Enhance Learning Engineering Hall Eteach and eCow are common electronic aids in teaching and learning especially at UW-Madison at the University level. Their ease and usefulness have made these tools quite valuable.
