From this data, it is evident that equal amounts of the deductions from theassertion-evidence content scores come from each of the four categories, whereas many of thetopic-subtopic deductions come from major process misconceptions. One possible reason for the lack of a statistical difference is that in this experiment, thevisual evidence used for the topic-subtopic slides was very similar in quality to the assertion-evidence condition.

analysis ofthe exam results shows that there is no significant distinction between hybrid learning andtraditional study. The survey results reflected the growth of students’ computer knowledge andthe acceptance of new technology application to today’s classes.It is believed that with continuously improving instructional videos, assessment methods, use ofup-to-date technology, hybrid design in the course will be accepted by more students, andprovide a more effective way of self-learning and interactive laboratory practice experience ascompared to traditional classroom style.References[1] A.

Design in Engineering Education

Huntsville (UAHuntsville) College of Engineering has established acapstone senior design sequence that provides real-world design experience. The concept ofusing a capstone design course as a summative activity within an engineering program is rootedin the constructivist theory of authentic learning. Authentic learning is a process of creatingknowledge through meaningful experiences, such as real-world problem-based activities.5Authentic learning experiences can be distilled down to 10 design elements: (1) real-worldrelevance, (2) use of an ill-defined problem that cannot be easily solved, (3) the need forsustained investigation, (4) the need for multiple sources and perspectives, (5) collaboration, (6)constant reflection, (7) interdisciplinary

In other words, the reduction of lead time variability willreduce the need for safety stock thereby reducing the overall cost of inventory. This savings willeventually be reflected in the company earnings before profit, taxes & deductions (EBTDA), andreturns on net assets as shown in Exhibit 6.

. This approach to instruction in the classroom has been proven effective time after time, and is reflected in positive student and peer evaluations since it has been implemented. This approach requires the instructor to be able to solicit help. The author defines getting help from outside sources, “utilizing resources”, and considers it a strong tool for qualified educators to turn to if and when they need to increase their classroom competency levels on a particular subject.  During the author’s graduate studies in training and development several controls were identified that should be addressed to secure a positive learning environment. They are: the environment itself, an instructor’s pedagogy process, the

The motor rotation angle turned to the distance traveled by the robot based on the chosen wheels and configuration; 3. The ultrasound sensor to measure distance to an object; 4. The sound sensor to gauge response to sounds; 5. The touch sensor to show “true” if touched vs. “false” if not.The next two weeks are spent by students programming the robot to follow a line of blue tapeusing the light sensors without straying.
