There are anumber of faculty though who have little knowledge of EBT and who must be providedbackground information before they can think of applying it. To this end, STEER has institutedtwo different types of faculty retreats:(a) Departmental retreatsSTEER personnel attend departmental retreats at the invitation of department chairs. Typically,they are allowed 1.5 to 2 hours to present an overview of EBT practices and evidence of theirvalidity. After the overview, several practices are generally
learning works best for them. Whenpresented with a problem, they are equipped to quickly identify which style of learning andtechnique(s) best apply to the situation enabling them to address problems in a timelier manner.While metacognition and SDL skills sets can be applied to familiar problems, they also providevalue in approaching unfamiliar problems. IRE alumni consistently reported earning confidencefrom peers and supervisors through a versatile ability of routinely solving unfamiliar problemsmaking the alumni valuable workplace assets.Future Directions and SignificanceWe have identified three areas of research we intend to pursue. First, we will continue totriangulate the think-aloud data with students’ self-report interview data but on an
-transient data, the function starts from time0 s, and positively increments while comparing individual values of Va, Vb, and Vc until the first positive zerocrossing is determined for each voltage. The times for each of these first crossings are saved. Because every cycle has256 data points, the end point for the sample is determined by adding 511 to the time index. The end times for eachvoltage are also saved. For the post-transient data, the function starts from the maximum time (end of the waveform), 4instead of the beginning of the waveform. Again, individual values are compared, this time while negativelyincrementing. Once the first crossing is determined, the end of the sample is found

impact on the surface it is driving on. The prototyping for the crawlerinvolves some very advanced technologies, using a camera to allow the robot to see, and giving itthe ability to decipher objects and defects from the functional interior of the plane is one of thechallenges they are still trying to overcome. This project has been substantially helped out bythings such as CAD programs and rapid prototyping aids that let the project move ahead muchfaster. This is more important when using new materials such as polymers and carbon fiber.Presentation #5Title: The Evolution of Urban Manufacturing – 1970 to PresentAbstract: This presentation reviewed the state of Urban Manufacturing during the 1970’s incontrast to its condition today, using

The other thoughtexperiments that Mermin subsequently developed are more appropriate for an advancedaudience; the devices he describes do not require perfectly correlated particles. The concept ofentanglement is fundamental to quantum mechanics and was first introduced by Schrödinger in1935. However, as Schroeder [9] points out, the word has been virtually absent from publicationuntil the 1980’s. Various aspects of quantum computation are revisited throughout the course asMATLAB projects. These projects escalate in complexity and are used to reinforce the value

effective. Although we had a specific series ofsteps in mind when we began, the process evolved as we discovered what worked well.1. A department ABET Program Evaluator (PEV) reviewed and prepared a preliminary mapping of all of the outcomes, including mapping of previous outcomes to new BOK3 outcomes. This information was presented in a faculty meeting, and followed by a dialogue about how to proceed with development of outcomes using ASCE BOK3. At this time, the department also discussed whether other outcomes could be needed, and added “Service” to our list.2. Faculty member teams selected BOK3 outcome(s) to draft (usually identified based on experience with previous outcomes, but sometimes due to individual interest). Four different
