Barium is a primary contaminant and must meet the new DEP limitsthat went from 4mg/l to 2mg/l. The well is a secondary water supply with springs being theprimary water source. Why is the Barium level elevated? What are the options to treat theelevated Barium level? What are the costs with each option?2) PROJECT2

Our study’s goal is to test the efficacy of incorporating commercially available web-based MLM content into introductory physics courses at Wentworth Institute of Technology, a small program that offers terminal bachelors in engineering. The study will be separated into the following two stages: stage one will consist of two professors instructing calculus-based Engineering Physics I and II, both with and without MLMs from various providers.

A formal writing exercise was given in theform of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) assignment which included a peer–review session prior to final grading. A reflective writing exercise was included to summarizelearning experiences through classroom and writing activities throughout the semester to identifyareas of strengths and weaknesses and accomplishments and pitfalls and areas/topics for futuredevelopment.Student learning experiences and the effectiveness of writing exercises were discussed. Thebenefits of writing exercises were evaluated through the ABET outcomes and a survey andevaluation of students

When we began planning forour third year, we felt that we needed more data to better understand how participants were reacting to ourprogramming, especially when taking into account the significant changes we were proposing. More specif-ically, our prior survey framework was limiting our understanding of whether or not we were truly helpingparticipants improve their familiarity and preparedness to become competitive in the faculty job market. Inother words, we wondered if individual sessions were beneficial to participants in terms of enhancing theirpreparation of faculty materials and contributed to their overall familiarity.In this paper, we expand our program evaluation significantly in the third year by

Note that these are informal comparisons, since the transformation was rapid andincluded all transformational elements concurrently, without strictly controlled, measured,progressive steps.The professor’s perception is that learning has improved to the point where he is incorporatingmore differential content into the course, and the students continue to perform at a higher levelsince the transformation.

The scholarship was limited to foursemesters of financial support at an average $3,750 per semester with the exception of Cohort 1.Initially, the plan was have all scholars in each cohort begin the program in the fall semester. Asthe associates degree program was implemented at BRCC, approximately the same number ofBRCC students were on track to transfer to LSU fall and spring semester.

, themajority of the students believed that if they knew what the correct answer should be, they coulddraw the diagrams using the drawing tool (Fig. 9-g). It is not clear to the authors if the “difficulty”in object manipulation was associated with the fact that when students didn’t know the solution ofthe problem, they would just try random attempts using the drawing tool, and felt as if thedrawing itself was the frustrating part of the problem solution. Based on observation of studentsduring office hours, we noticed that students were spending a lot of time trying to place theobjects precisely on the canvas, even tough it was announced that the tolerances were very large.To remediate this, we plan to include more messages about tolerances in the
