The analysis included acombination of data acquisition through laser scanning and a hypothetical model generated viaNURBS and subdivision surface modeling based on the resultant data, the end result being ahypothetical template that could be used for varying sizes of this type of building plan. Finally, for the Colosseum itself, Gutierrez et al. [6] experimented with a digital Colosseummodel for the simulation of a virtual crowd, which was used to test the efficiency of thevomitoria. The structure of the Colosseum was analyzed with the interior passageways in mind –a necessity for the simulation of people moving not

EiE introduces the EDP throughleveled stories that introduce the type of engineer and the real-world relevance of the challenge.The unit then breaks into three lessons. Each lesson builds on the next with activities that helpstudents understand the steps of the EDP and how engineers work as a team to create andimprove technology. The motivation of EiE is that all students can learn engineering, includingminority students 10, 12.The NGSS shares EiE’s goal of engineering education for minority groups 5. From anepistemological

ofEducation Statistics, 2015). In addition, Texas leads the nation with over 78% (45% nationalaverage) of 4Y graduates having been enrolled at 2Y institutions (NSCRC, 2012). Despite theprevalence of these multi-institution attendance patterns, this is not a popular phenomenon amongfaculty, administrators, and policy makers, as it challenges the assumptions about curricula,planning, and academic support programs (Borden, 2004). This back-and-forth enrollment isreferred to as “student swirl”, a term first coined by de los Santos and Wright in 1990 (Borden,2004). de los Santos and Wright also coined “double-dipping” to refer to concurrent enrollment attwo institutions, but in this case, concurrent enrollment is not supported by institutional efforts

Only 9% STEM works have a high schooldiploma or less (Commerce Blog, 2012). For a prospective student intends for STEM as the career plan, the analysis of the linkagebetween STEM jobs and STEM education indicated two patterns. Firstly, a STEM degree is thetypical path to a STEM job, as more than two-thirds of STEM workers with a college degreehave an undergraduate STEM degree. Secondly, STEM degree holders receive an earningspremium relative to other college graduates, whether or not they end up in a STEM job.

The School of Engineering began using the first hour of the two hours to view actual engineering classes on Friday morning to interview potential STEM scholars. This allowed those students being considered for the honors program or full scholarships to still be interviewed Friday afternoon. Table 3. Undergraduate

And therefore, only pictures of six cameras out of eight were analyzed, the images from camera 7 and 8 will be analyzed in the future. The analyzed time-lapse covered seven teams out of nine. Secondly, the cameras were not working as planned. Camera 2 was barely taking time-lapse images at all, and several cameras had some sort of problem, or the cards ran out of memory (cameras 1, 3, 4, and 5). Camera 6 was the only one that functioned according to the plan the whole time, which was taking the time-lapse of team Curium. Third is that the teams were not always

Rapport in a classroom is very beneficial, especially in large lectures [8].• Questions 229 and 230 focus on instructor preparedness. One of the major barriers to bringing active learning strategies cited previously was lack of time to prepare new lesson plans. When transitioning to a new teaching style, faculty may struggle with preparation of new lectures, homework, and other materials. The Teaching Circle aims to mitigate that by providing a support structure where faculty can discuss implementation strategies and have designated time to work
