Maldonado was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He graduated from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayag¨uez where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. During the summer of 2010, Ricardo interned at Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL where he developed a wind energy assessment project for Puerto Rico. He is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Power Electronics from the aforementioned university while working for an aerospace company (Raytheon Co.) in Arizona as an Electrical Engineer Circuit Designer. Ricardo has a couple of publications in the IEEE, his most recent publication, ”Simulation, Design, Hardware Implementation, and Control of a 9-level Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter with

The instructors of these courses are free to select an assessment instrument (e.g., examquestion, homework question, project report, laboratory report, or presentation) for eachPerformance Indicator associated with their assigned SO. Based on the assessment instrumentchosen, the instructor develops a rubric for each Performance Indicator and selects PerformanceCriteria that are used to evaluate the students’ ability to meet that Performance Indicator. Theinstructor’s rubric generally follows a three-tiered approach for assessing the students’performance: “Developing”, “Satisfactory” and “Proficient.” The instructor may select a

. Gorlewicz received her BS in mechanical engineering from Southern Illinois University Ed- wardsville (Edwardsville, IL) in 2008, before pursuing her PhD in mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt University, where she worked in the Medical and Electromechanical Design (MED) Laboratory. At Van- derbilt, she was a National Science Foundation Fellow and a Vanderbilt Educational Research fellow. Jenna then returned to her alma mater, SIUE, as a faculty member in the Mechanical and Industrial Engi- neering Department in Fall 2013. Her research interests are in the design and assessment of haptic devices, human-machine interfaces, and robotic systems, with applications in both education and medicine.Dr. Geoffrey L Herman, University

Finally, homework is an assimilativeexperience where the student reflects on learning and practices integrative thinking.Table 1 - Kolb Learning StylesConverging The dominant learning abilities are Abstract Conceptualization (AC) and Active(AC+AE)/2 Experimentation (AE). People with this learning style are best at finding practical uses for ideas and theories. They have the ability to solve problems and make decisions based on finding solutions to questions or problems. In formal learning situations, people with this style prefer to experiment with new ideas, simulations, laboratory assignments, and practical applications.Assimilating The dominant
