used inenvironmental engineering for numerous applications, especially for removing contaminantsfrom water and air. Environmental engineers typically quantify the mass of adsorbate per massof adsorbent (adsorption density, q) as follows. x �Co − Caq �V q= = M Mwhere,Co = initial aqueous concentration (mg sorbate/L)Caq = equilibrium aqueous concentration (mg sorbate/L)V = volume of solvent (L)M = mass of sorbent (g)When modeling and designing adsorption treatment processes, the adsorption density is typicallygraphed as a function of the adsorbate’s equilibrium aqueous concentration at a constanttemperature; this

visualize pipe flow also in terms of mass balance andintroduces how the continuity equation (Q=V×A) plays a pivotal role in understanding what isoccurring throughout the system. Since mass is conserved, as water moves through a pipesystem (assuming no leaks), mass balance parameters will dictate that the flowrate must remainconsistent even as changes of A and V occur. As Q is increased, we must increase the velocity offlow and/or the size of pipe. For a specified Q, flow can be increased by reducing pipe size.Conversely, velocity can be decreased by increasing pipe size. Essentially, the continuityequation is just the conservation of mass in terms of volumetric flow. Mass does not appear inthe equation though because water is an incompressible

have dedicated faculty coordinating eachof the courses in the Arch Initiative.The following are a few sample responses from the long answer questions: • Q 1.8 - Please comment on how THE WAY THIS CLASS WAS TAUGHT helps you REMEMBER key ideas. o “Being able to actually practice skills in a real-world project definitely solidified the concepts in my mind and made me feel more confident in my abilities.” o “…Having projects instead of written exams was key to understanding what I was learning. Instead of just trying to memorize formulas for an exam, I would work a project and if it didn't work like I needed it to, I could go back and ask questions and

potentially important variables for predicting future grade of the students in statics course. Onthe other hand, chi-square statistics also shows that gender, number of prior attempts and inclusionof adaptive learning module do not significantly influence the grade.MODEL AND ESTIMATION RESULTSEconometric ModelIn this research, we employ the ordered logit model for studying the ordinal categorical variablegrade with the categories defined as Fail/Withdraw (DFW) and Pass (ABC).Let j be the index for the discrete outcome that corresponds to grade for student q. In orderedresponse model, the discrete grade levels (𝑦𝑞 ) are assumed to be associated with an underlyingcontinuous latent variable (𝑦𝑞∗ ). This latent variable is typically specified as the

defined as Fail/Withdraw, D, C, B, and A.Let j be the index for the discrete outcome that corresponds to grade for student q. In orderedresponse model, the discrete grade levels (𝑦𝑞 ) are assumed to be associated with an underlyingcontinuous latent variable (𝑦𝑞∗ ). This latent variable is typically specified as the following linearequation: 𝑦𝑞∗ = 𝛼′𝑧𝑞 + 𝜀𝑞 , 𝑦𝑞 = 𝑗 if 𝜓𝑗 < 𝑦𝑞∗ < 𝜓𝑗+1 (1)where, 𝑧𝑞 is a column vector of exogenous variables for student 𝑞, 𝛼 is column vector ofunknown parameters, 𝜓𝑗 is the observed lower bound threshold and 𝜓𝑗+1 is the observed upperbound threshold for grade j. 𝜀𝑞 , with logistic distribution, captures the idiosyncratic effect of

presentations by academicadvisors and various faculty members. The presentations included undergraduate researchoptions and their benefits, how to get involved in research, how to find advisors, and how to getresearch credits. There was a Q&A session with a panel of current UG researchers, and one-minute presentations by each research lab was followed to introduce various research topics tostudents. After all presentations, there was around 15 minutes for students to talk with facultymembers in person.Launch CE Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF)URC at CE discussed about the survey data and made a plan to provide more researchopportunities to UG students in the department.
