mesmerizing fountain display. He has seen the fabulous Bellagio Fountains, and enjoys the interesting fountain in the McNamara Terminal of the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. He wants something that will be appropriate for his wilderness resort. After learning of your vast new knowledge of fluid mechanics, he has asked you to design a fountain. As a member of the National Fluid Power Association, Uncle Mort requires that one or more of the nozzles is controlled by a hydraulic system which will allow the nozzle(s) to move the water jet(s) in some sort of pattern. The water jet(s) from the movable nozzle(s) must be high enough pressure to allow for a sufficient water height. He wants this fountain to be an attraction for his customers

Students are paired up (with an occasional trio, ifnecessary) and given a generic set of instructions explaining that they will perform a ‘scene’ withtheir partner(s) for their peers in approximately ten minutes. These instructions also include somereminders of things to consider that may help them communicate their scene, including tone,volume, body language, and use of relational space (all discussed previously in course content).Students are additionally encouraged to use readily available props as they deem appropriate.Each group is instructed to keep their scene a secret from other groups as they prepare.

graded homeworks are returned to thestudents. The class discussion helps some students, but others remain unclear about the distinctionsbetween the notions of domain, problem in the domain context, and solution. The key questionthat motivated our work was, how do we help students overcome such misconceptions and developdeep understanding?In the CONSIDER approach, following the lecture(s) on the topic, the instructor would post thehomework on the CONSIDER system. The instructor will also specify a deadline by which eachstudent will be required to submit her answer. The homework may be similar to the one abovebut, for this discussion, we assume there is only one question, item (3) from the example. Oncethe instructor has posted the homework, each
addition of engineeringcontent and practices to NGSS does not add additional requirements to the science standardsalready being taught. Although NGSS is not adopted in Oklahoma, the new OklahomaAcademic Science Standards, OAS-S, mirror NGSS. Further, many participants stated that eventhough they did not receive any resources for teaching engineering, they were satisfied with thisbecause they did not teach engineering anyway. This reveals that teachers do not understand thescience standards they are required to teach as part of OAS-S, which require them to beengineering teachers. Some participants’ responses indicated that teachers held misconceptions about thedifficulty or nature of engineering. For example, a few participants mentioned

The field of data analytics has received substantial attentionin the past years due in part to the competition level in a globalized economy, which has resultedin the almost imperative need for focused or personalized services, thus resulting in this globaltrend of collecting

The latter study highlighted ways in which experiencessuch as employee education, help from managers and coworkers, and camaraderie served as bothsupports (when present) and barriers (when absent) to participants’ transitions to the workplace.EPS researchers have also explored engineering career pathways [16, 17] and perceptions of keyoutcome measures [18].To extend our knowledge of new engineers’ experiences of the transition from school to work,we draw on data from a large multi-institution study to explore 1) what types of tasks andactivities new engineers engage in during

gradingincentive that works well with students. Therefore, our proposed course structure used aneffective combination of group learning and specially prepared detailed course notes. After thefirst (background check) quiz the following e-mail (boxed below) was sent to the class givingstudents another opportunity to relearn the topics. The quiz 1 mentioned below was multiple-choice type. Many students would guess answers on such questions. But the condition forregrading such quizzes was they must learn the correct reason/s for each of the missed questionby reading notes, or by discussions with groupmates or others. This worked very well. In fact,our data shows a consistent interest among students. Further tracking some of the students fromFluids II to the
