Introduction Over the last twenty years, numerous advances in physics education research(PER) as well as the development of non-traditional learning tools have changed thelandscape of STEM education [1]. A short time ago, the most widely accepted approachto physics education was the traditional lecture, supported by a hands-on laboratorycomponent, with typical homework exercises. Demonstrations and group work added anactive component to these techniques, but the overall learning

ObservationAbstractContinuous improvement process can be applied to different areas of higher education,specifically improvement of faculty teaching. Anand, et al.1, defined continuous improvement as“a systematic effort to seek out and apply new ways of doing work, which is actively andrepeatedly making process improvements.” In this light, the lead author has used a triangulationmethod to improve their teaching effectiveness by being observed in the classroom at the sametime by the department head and a peer observer, over several semesters. The paper will framethe current literature on teaching evaluation for growth and development, examine the facultymember’s, the peer’s, and the administrative observer’s perspectives, and discuss how thisprocess has led to

One place teachers and schoolscan look for example assessments are in the integrated STEM curricula units commerciallyavailable. By examining current STEM assessments with two frameworks, this study aims toanswer the following research questions: (1) What aspects of engineering are being assessed incommon engineering or integrated STEM curricular units? (2) What level of cognitive demand isbeing referenced by these assessments? (3) What level of cognitive demand is assessed for eachaspect of engineering design?

It consists of anintroduction to antennas and radio frequency (RF) wave propagation, an overview of militaryand civilian systems that use wireless communication techniques with a particular focus on radar,and a study of some techniques for emitter location and identification [1].

In recent years,there have been several studies on “returners” in engineering graduate programs, defined byPeters & Daly as those graduate students who, after receiving their bachelor’s degree, work forfive years or more before pursuing a graduate degree.1 In fact, one study suggested that returningto pursue a graduate degree after about five years in industry is optimal timing.2In another study, ten
