12. Towards Chemical Engineering Student Diversity: The Case of International Student Experiences at Tuskegee University

Author

Baah, David, Floyd-Smith, Tamara, Begum, Shamim Ara, Smith, Allen, Kwon, K. C., and Vahdat, Nader

Abstract

Cultural integration of students and student population diversity play an important role in training college students, due to growing demand for diversity to solutions to human needs, the advancement of global economy and cultural understanding. This type of cultural integration has resulted in the new normal known as the multicultural classroom. However, studies have shown that multicultural classrooms are associated with low academic achievement due to cultural differences and trust problems within the new culture. As an HBCU, Tuskegee University is a multicultural environment and so is the Chemical Engineering Department. This study combines survey and focus group discussion to access the experiences of international students in the Chemical Engineering Department. The results suggest that while the issues of multicultural classrooms are experienced by internationals, such experiences are different for different students. Also, the students consider such experiences as part of the learning that makes them stronger upon graduation than when they enrolled.

14. 2005 Mississippi Curriculum Framework: Secondary Masonry. (Program CIP: 46.0101 - Mason/Masonry)

Author

Mississippi State University, Research and Curriculum Unit, Mississippi Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Technical Education, Davis, Milton, Harris, Chester, Richards, Toney, Smith, Allen, Weatherly, Ronald, and Weeks, W. D.

Abstract

Secondary vocational-technical education programs in Mississippi are faced with many challenges resulting from sweeping educational reforms at the national and state levels. Schools and teachers are increasingly being held accountable for providing true learning activities to every student in the classroom. This accountability is measured through increased requirements for mastery and attainment of competency as documented through both formative and summative assessments. The courses in this document reflect the statutory requirements as found in Section 37-3-49, Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended (Section 37-3-46). In addition, this curriculum reflects guidelines imposed by federal and state mandates (Laws, 1988, ch. 487, Section 14; Laws, 1991, ch. 423, Section 1; Laws, 1992, ch. 519, Section 4 effective from and after July 1, 1992; Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act III, 1998; and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). Masonry is an instructional program which prepares students to enter the field of masonry. Study in the course allows an individual to prepare for employment and/or continued education in the masonry field. Included in Masonry I are units of study in student orientation, leadership and employability skills, safety, basic tools and equipment, basic math, masonry units, mortar, concrete, and rigging. Included in Masonry II are units of study in orientation, advanced leadership and employability skills, safety, power tools and equipment, wall layout, drawings/specifications and estimating, bricks, concrete masonry, and stonemasonry and recast panels. This curriculum has been aligned to modules in the Contemn Learning Series as endorsed by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCC ER). Students who study this curriculum using the Contemn Learning Series materials under the supervision of an instructor who has been certified by the NCC ER are eligible to be tested on each module. Students who successfully pass these tests may be certified to the NCC ER by the instructor and will receive documentation from NCC ER. Appended are: (1) Contemn Learning Series Best Practices; (2) Academic Standards; (3) Workplace Skills for the 21st Century; and (4) National Educational Technology Standards for Students. A list of suggested references is provided for each unit. (Contains 7 footnotes.)

17. From pulpit to fiction : an examination of sermonic texts and their fictive qualities

Author

Smith, Allen Permar

Subjects
252.0014, PN Literature (General), BR Christianity
Abstract

This thesis will argue that the authority and power of a ‘sermonic text’ is found in its fictive qualities. The term ‘sermonic text’ is chosen in preference to ‘sermon’ to indicate the distinction between the singular occasion of a preached sermon, and the consignment of this singularity to the permanent condition of a written text, that may be read on many occasions by readers separated by time and space. A sermonic text functions in the manner of a work of fiction and creates an event and space that forces a decision upon the reader. Within the text the reader is in a place where the Kingdom of God is about to happen and is happening. Consequently, the reader is forced to make a decision. Will he or she, “Go and do likewise,” or reject the Kingdom of God? This is possible because the sermonic text has what I describe as ‘fictive qualities.’ These qualities include setting the context in which the sermon is proclaimed which in turn creates a space and event for various ‘worlds’ to meet. Necessarily, a sermon, whether historical or in fiction, must be ‘preached’ in a particular place and at a particular time – e.g. Capernaum, the Rolls Chapel in London or the Whaleman’s Chapel in Moby-Dick. At the same time, the ‘sermonic text’ opens up a ‘space of literature’, which is universal, and of no specific time or place, but entertains the various worlds of the reader, the biblical narrative (e.g. the Jonah narrative in Father Mapple’s sermon) as well as the historical setting. Other fictive qualities include a dialogical relationship between the reader and the text and the capacity of time and place to be both specific and universal, temporal and eternal. Finally, the voice of the sermonic text has authority and authenticity because it is at once familiar in the human experience and, at the same time, set apart and distinct through a particular relationship with the divine.
