Initial analysis offaculty responses for East Carolina University over the three years (Figure 4) include only onesignificant difference at the 95% CI for Scenario 16, though examination of the individualresponses reveals a single outlier that appears to be a likely response error, in that it isincongruent with that respondents’ other ratings.

One way to achieve this is tointroduce common OR models by using RED contexts. For example, the characteristics of LPsmight be introduced using a two-variable example of growing corn or wheat with limitedresources of time, water and fertilizer.

As a result, regular maintenance is required to ensure acceptable print quality. In the first semester of operation few visitors knew how to use the software necessary to 3D print objects. Because of this, most 3D printing, including prints for visitors, was completed by staff members. This proved to be challenging for the six staff members for two reasons: 1) print preferences and personal settings varied considerably; and 2) the first printers were largely

Hemoglobin absorbs more light than water and othertissue in the brain. Increase in hemoglobin in the brain is associated with an increase in cognitiveactivity [24]. The light which is not absorbed is reflected back to the detectors on the cap. Thedifferent absorption spectra of oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin make it possible todescribe activated brain regions and cognitive activities through the change in hemoglobinconcentration, or Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) response.fMRI similarly measures activity indirectly through changes in hemoglobin in

This requires anenhanced curriculum with a focus on student teamwork, a greater consideration of social context,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. Effective faculty members need to mirror these values and skills intheir instruction and mentoring. Efforts have begun to reimagine the “engineering canon” whichrequires a shift from positioning engineering as a purely technical endeavor to framing it associo-technical.

Also, choosing to use the Arduinorequired the curriculum developers to design a chassis to make the microcontroller mobile for theENGR 120 robot challenge. This chassis construction added more fabrication opportunities forthe students to experience.When the Arduino was implemented in the curriculum in 2011, updates were made to coursematerials to reflect the new microcontroller.
