modules, starting with the heat module (with electronic thermometer),and then working closely with teachers to use the modules in their every-day “in-school”classes. Another goal will be to provide “take-home-to-study” materials for students.Similarly, teacher education programs will help teachers learn about microsystems so they can“spread the word” to their students each day. Teacher education initiatives will include timefor teachers to modify modules to fit their individual teaching styles and classrooms, perhapsthrough Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) supplements. WIMS-based curriculumdeliverables will include numerous educational modules that when combined should lead totextbook(s).Evaluations of Pre-College Summer ProgramsFor most
teacher and student(s) are separated by physical distance, and technology(i.e., voice, video, data, and print), often in concert with face-to-facecommunication, is used to bridge the instructional gap.”2With the growth of distance learning programs, many question its appropriatenessand effectiveness. Research indicates that it can be as effective as traditional face-to-face instruction when the principles of good instruction are applied. That is, DEcourses are effective when technology and methods are aligned appropriately,when there is student-to-student interaction, and when students receive timelyfeedback.3 It is, however, the unprecedented range of technologies that causesmany institutions to select the technology first thus resulting in
interdependence,individual accountability, promotive interaction, social skills, and group processing.The results of this study could be used to begin to show that engineering student teams that havelongevity perform better on a wider collection of team-based activities. In order to further theunderstandings in this area, more studies like this one are needed in different contexts to verifythe claims.Bibliographic Information1.

In his paper Kitchin expresses how “interviewees felt they had been exploited- theirknowledge and experiences ‘mined’ by the researcher(s), who were never heard of again.”3 This“rape model of research”7 was avoided by continual updates and a final project proposal that wasdiscussed and critiqued by all participants at the end of the planning stages.CollaborationFor this project to be successful, collaboration with the community to over come sociallyconstructed barriers was one of the biggest concerns. To address these concerns individuals withdisabilities were included in every stage of the planning process. It was the wishes of theorganizers of the curriculum to not discriminate against the disabled communities ideas and givethem the

Late scope changes are discouraged as the students are under pressure, not only in thiscourse, but also in 4-6 other courses in their programs.At the same time the students are developing specifications they are encouraged to develop abasic project management plan. This involves identification of all of the various tasks associatedwith the project and an estimate (no matter how far off) of the time required to complete eachtask. The students are encouraged to identify an individual responsible for each one of the tasksand to create tasks that are no more than one week in duration. The one week duration for tasksis an attempt to keep the groups on track and to ensure that the students have a focus for each

We intend on increasing theinteraction with video material by making available more videos to build a larger archive ofreference material. In the present semester, we are video-recording laboratory sections in whichwe are teaching the effective use of software packages, such as Mathworks Matlab and AliasMaya. We intend on evaluating the availability of this reference material by comparing studentperformance to prior semesters.References[1] Abowd, G.D., Atkeson, C.G., Feinstein, A., Hmelo, C., Kooper, R., Long, S., Sawhney, N., Tani, M.

, teams seemed much less receptive to the new workshop format (15%rated as good or very good in winter, versus 36% in fall), despite integrating breakout time forteams during workshops. This drop in student receptiveness may be caused by the workshopformat itself and/or its content. Written comments collected during course-end student feedbackfrom the winter quarter as well as ongoing focus groups with students by the guides will helpdistinguish common source(s) of the student’s lack of receptiveness to the workshops. Frommany group discussions, it appears that the drop may be at least partially attributable to the largeincrease in class size between the fall and winter quarters, as well as a change in roomconfiguration.

. Place the pane flat with the edges supported on two chairs so you have a platform 18" or so off the ground with about 12"-18" of glass unsupported between the chairs. (You may also suspend the pane on 2"x4"s placed on the ground.)2. Slowly stand on the pane such that your entire weight is on the unsupported portion of the glass. The glass should hold up to 400 pounds easily. (N.B. It is extremely rare that the pane will break. If the glass does break it will break in the pane of the glass meaning that glass pieces will fly out parallel to the floor. It is best to have students remain at least 10 feet away and wear safety goggles while doing this demonstration.)If you wish to demonstrate the effect of a flaw in the glass, the
