training sessions, the final presentations are made. In some cases it is necessary to havea semi-final presentation session where all teams record their presentations so that a group offinalists can be chosen. This can be a logistic necessity. If five teams present at the finals andeach team gives a 10-12 minute presentation with a 3-5 minute Q&A, then the program lasts forat least 75 minutes (5 teams X 15 minutes each). Now, add in a 15 minute introduction forleaders from the University and firm to talk and judges to be introduced. Then account for 5minutes between the presentations, at least 10 minutes for judges to select the winner(s), and 10minutes to thank the participants and award the prizes.

(1) through (4) were derived in great detail in the paper thatpropounded the MoMF.12 For convenience of readers, let us take a brief overview of how thesemodel formulas are obtained. Basically, it starts out with the loading function q,9 written in termsof singularity functions for the beam ab in Fig. 1; as follows: q = Va < x >− 1 + M a < x >− 2 − P < x − x P >− 1 + K < x − x K >− 2 − w0 < x − x w >0 w − w0 w − w0 − 1 < x − x w >1 + w1< x − u w > 0 + 1 < x − u w >1

The most negativeagreement (3.8%) was in Question 9, regarding to the development of the thinking and problemsolving skills by the POGIL activities in classroom. Such neutral and negative responses of Q 7and Q 9 indicate that students, who had limited experiences in active learning environment,might find some difficulty to adapt a new learning strategy to study the subjects by means ofthese POGIL activities.Consider the large number of the positive agreement responses in Q6-9 that stand out stronglyagainst the neutral/disagreement regarding the value of the POGIL based learning environment;for example, a total (11.5%) of the disagreement and neutral response in Question

, students requested that a detailed map with directions be sentelectronically to them before the start of the program to ensure they could locate the check-in/registration area. One final recommendation was to make the program longer in order tofacilitate the peer building process (four days was too rushed). Finally, a student expressedconcern that the program overlapped with the freshman priority enrollment time. The studentcould never fully relax during the program because he/she was worried about not getting theclasses of his/her choice. Feedback from the participants about the various workshops consistently reported not havingenough question and answer (Q&A) time. Students were left with lingering thoughts andquestions about each workshop
lowest ratings were 2.20 and 2.30, for “Analysis” and Questions andAnswers”, respectively. Some of the analysis problems were related to how the input loads andrestraints were determined, rather than the use of the software itself. During the Q/A session,some groups had difficulty justifying the reasons for some of their decisions related to theiranalysis. It should also be noted that the high standard deviation for “Goals/Criteria” was due tothe lack of clarity in the purpose of the analysis (i.e. with respect to their optimization) by two ofthe groups. In summary, effectively using the material presented in this course is a challenge forour students, but while they clearly struggled on some issues, the projects provided a valuableexperience to

Our data comes from a challenging university-leveloperating systems course that offers enrollment for both graduates and undergraduates. Theseforums provide an aid to students when they are away from the classroom, allowing them thebenefits of referencing solutions to similar problems and having their own addressed. Working inteams, students may come in contact with others from their group, those from outside their group,and also with the professor. Eight project forums from two semesters divide up the 418 threads(the whole containing 1841 posts) in our data. Each thread is modeled in a “Q&A” style ofdiscussion, linked up

The 10th grade chemistry classes were all males and indicated that they enjoyed STEMactivities after participating in the electrospinning activity.
