Note thatMermin subsequently “revisits” and “refines” this discussion with thought experiments that donot require perfect correlations between the particles.7,8 In our modern language we would saythat the “things” that traverse the path from transmitter to receiver have undergone “quantumentanglement.” Schroeder points out that the word entanglement was first introduced bySchrödinger in 1935 but has been virtually absent from publication until the 1980’s.9Dirac Notation – Vectors and Operators/MatricesPaul Dirac introduced a new mathematical notation to describe quantum mechanics that

The data collected fromthe larger study are presently being analyzed and will be presented in a future full paper. Wehope that the revised survey instrument will be adapted for use by other physics and STEMeducators so that additional comparisons across an even wider range of student populations canbe made.References[1] S.

These categories formed a hierarchical progression from less comprehensive tomore comprehensive ways of experiencing innovation along two dimensions: Focus ofInnovation Activities and Extent of Innovation Process (see Figure 1). It should be noted that thefinal four categories (5–8) were each at the highest level of comprehensiveness in the outcomespace. They differed primarily on the Focus of Innovation Activities dimension.The Focus of Innovation Activities dimension addressed the area(s) that individuals prioritizedduring innovation activities (e.g., technical, human, or enterprise).

Towards Community Integration and Academic AtmosphereStudents were asked to reflect on several statements related to their attitudes towards communityintegration and academic atmosphere. Overwhelmingly, 74.1% of students strongly agreed that“[their] interaction[s] with [their] professors were positive and beneficial, thus helping [them]succeed during [their] first semester” (Figure 7A). In contrast 37.0% of students strongly agreedand 51.9% agreed that “…[they knew] other students in [their] classes and [felt] part of anacademic learning community” (Figure 7B). While students certainly cited satisfaction withtheir professor and peer relationships, they were most satisfied with their professorialrelationships.Student responses were generally

Research Council (NRC), in its report “Learning toThink Spatially”, refers to spatial thinking as a “universal mode of thinking”, and has recognizedit as an important skill in the 21st century, and further supports its integration in the K-12curriculum. 5GIS has long been recognized as having a critical role in enhancing students’ spatial literacy andas an important tool not only in the study of Geography, but increasingly across multipledisciplines and learning contexts. In her dissertation, Kim references the ongoing debate overhow to define the “S” in GIS (as either Systems, Studies, Science, or Service). 6 Several articlesdiscuss the importance of integrating spatial literacy in post-graduate/doctoral programs, andLuna and Miles report on the
