has 7 US patents, of which 3 have been commercialized by the university. He has published at the 2013 conference on this topic. This work is a continuation of earlier research. We plan to leverage this in developing a state-of- the-art course on the Internet of things for our undergraduates in Spring ’15.Mr. Jean Lapaix, Florida Atlantic University I am a senior electrical engineering undergraduate at Florida Atlantic University. I am interested in science and engineering and applying them towards math education. I am also interested in incorporating control systems to make platforms more intelligent and robust.Charles Perry Weinthal Currently Seeking a Master’s in EE Commodore Business Machines: EE: Engineering

widely, from a median of 396min to 3140 min. The collection of schools with the highest use attributed this to severalfactors: anytime access to individual computers for students, compulsory completion ofprescribed KA topics with consequences for non-compliance, close teacher monitoring ofstudent progress, well-planned integration of KA with curriculum, and extended instructionalblocks focusing on mathematics.1 Exploratory analyses of years 5 and 6 from the largestcollection of associated schools found a positive relationship between time spent on KA andnumber of problem sets completed to proficiency with performance (better than predictedperformance in the California Standard Test) and attitudes (lower math anxiety, higher mathself-concept and

15 questions were directly related to conceptual functionknowledge, with the rest of the questions related to concepts such as derivatives, integrals,power series, and programming preferences. Results regarding the questions that are notcovered in this paper are planned to be published elsewhere.Research Problem The question evaluated in this study is designed to observe participants’ ability todetermine the intervals of increase-decrease, convexity, critical points, horizontalasymptotes and vertical asymptotes of a quotient function to be able to graph it by using allthese properties. This problem aims to observe participants’ ability to calculate analyticalcalculus problems and their ability to reflect the obtained information on a

learning Forums for Improved EngineeringStudent Outcomes in Calculus” 21, 22. The purpose of the TUES study is to explore use of onlinelearning forums to improve student achievement and engagement in STEM courses. The TUESproject plan requires the principal investigator (PI) to assist a mathematics instructor (MI) inimplementing an asynchronous, online learning forum within distance-education calculuscourses taught via synchronous broadcast. In synchronous broadcast course delivery, a singlefaculty member simultaneously instructs students located in the same room and other,geographically dispersed students located throughout the state at several regional campuses.Real-time instruction is provided to all students via two-way audio/video

. Additionally, we will continue to provide facultydevelopment both through the department and through the Center for Teaching and Learning tobe sure faculty have what they need to teach the Coherent Calculus. This will allow us to helpfaculty address areas of concern such as the fraction of students who perceive it would be betterto be lectured to during class.The Calculus I project scaled up more quickly and achieved wider buy-in than was initiallythought likely. While this is a clearly positive development, it means that Calculus II is now anurgent priority. The same project lead, working closely with one member of the FLC team, iscurrently launching a Calculus II project with the same general plan but an accelerated time line:  Spring 2015
