research project on more effective teaching in core materials classes, the research questionhere is, "What is the effect on student learning and attitude of differing modes of feedback fromstudents' Muddiest Point reflections?" One method is to restructure the notes from a given classand place the set on Blackboard so the new notes respond to student issues raised in MuddiestPoints. This can reinforce class learning, clarify muddy points, and potentially assist in solvinghomework problems. A second method is with Class Warm-ups, which consist of a slide or twofor discussion at the beginning of the next class which can help clarify confusing or difficult-to-grasp concepts. Another method is to create Muddiest Point YouTube tutorial screencasts

In order to achieve this purpose, we are tracking two cohorts of students; one betweentheir sophomore year in college

Study on Simulated Spaceborne Microwave Radiometer Measurements of EarthAbstractThis paper describes a NASA internship case study in which the outcome can be implemented ina classroom setting. Through this case study, the students can learn numerical interpolation andintegration of functions in a real world project as well as the error analysis. A tradeoff expectedto be observed is between the speed of obtaining results and getting accurate results. As a result,recommendations are expected for various data sets to ensure fast and accurate results. Thesimulation can also be carried out using Matlab.The case study discusses numerical convergence of simulated space-borne microwaveradiometer measurements of earth brightness

We are interested in why 22.5% of the students do notcomplete at least 80% of the homework. The goal of identifying the characteristics of studentswho do not do homework is to enable appropriate intervention techniques to be developed. Thispaper presents a work in progress, describing the research process and giving preliminary results.There is debate over the role of homework, its usefulness, and its role in learning [e.g Vatterott(2009) and a current NSF project reported by Kaw and Yalcin (2010) examining whethercollecting homework improves exam performance].

students, 1 a more rational way for us to treat them is to prevent them by trainingstudents before they take relevant coursework.The nationwide trend to reduce the number of credit hours in engineering education haveresulted in a compact and refined curriculum, leaving less time for remedy interventions. Webelieve a foundational understanding of core science and engineering concepts early in thecurriculum is more critical than ever for students to succeed in upper level engineering coursesand improve their problem-solving abilities for multidisciplinary projects. Therefore, we believepreventing and eliminating student misconceptions can be a key strategy to increase retentionrates in engineering degrees.AcknowledgementWe thank the National Science

The primary focus is to determine the impact of using small challenge projects toincrease the effectiveness of learning and instruction with second year civil engineering students.BackgroundChallenge-based instruction engages learners in complex problem spaces that require thecoordination of multiple concepts to define an effective solution[1,2,4,5]. That is, a challengeillustrates the context and conditions when knowledge is used. The central learning theoryfocuses on
