Women studying and working in engineering : case studies from UCT and civil engineering in the Western Cape
In this thesis two case studies were used to investigate women's involvement in engineering in the Western Cape during the early to mid 1990s. The first study provided a statistical profile of women engineering students (WES) at UCT as background to the second, a qualitative, in-depth study that …

The engineering case study as a basis for the Master of Science thesis : the Teradyne, Inc. case study : a kinematic interface for semiconductor test equipment
A case-study-based Master of Science in Engineering program is proposed. The proposed program would create a mechanism for the generation and maintenance of case studies which address the trade-offs between business and technology ( "Engineering Case Studies"). An example of the Engineering Case …

A Novel Method for Thematically Analyzing Student Responses to Open-ended Case Scenarios
My dissertation is about how engineering educators can use natural language processing (NLP) in implementing open-ended assessments in undergraduate engineering degree programs. Engineering students need to develop an ability to exercise judgment about better and worse outcomes of their decisions. …
