For the question about from which they had learnedthe most, the interviewer asked, “Please describe the first few weeks of the program when youwere with your mentor/s.” A sample follow-up question would be related to knowledgemanagement systems such as, “What goals did you have for your mentor?” Findings Based on the interview transcripts we came up with five main themes regarding how therelationship between mentors and mentees affect mentees’ self-confidence in teachingelementary students about engineering technology.Identifying areas for improvement The program is designed to have

Previously, thestudent survey feedback was not positive and promising as expected. In addition, it has beennoticed that the “attitude” of students towards learning chemistry was relatively negative atMSOE, partially due to their majors which are mostly in traditional engineering programs, suchas mechanical and electrical engineering. Students studying within these majors generally do notfeel the need to learn chemistry but rather choose to simply pass the required chemistry course(s)to obtain their degree. In another

For example, the description provided in Section II:Program Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Technology Programs [3] for programs containingelectrical and/or electronic(s) or other similar titles is: …prepare graduates to have competence in the following curricular areas: (a) the application of circuit analysis and design, computer programming, associated software, analog and digital electronics, and microcomputers, and engineering standards to the building, testing, operation, and maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems; (b) the application of natural sciences and mathematics at or
three mainthemes discussed previously, we’ve also learned a good deal about how important up-frontagreements with school district administrators are with respect to locking in PD time and, byextension, being able to successfully implement activities during the school year. A continuousmentoring approach is critical to getting teachers ready to facilitate the activities. Without thedistrict on board to allow that access, we end up playing second fiddle and lose out onimplementation opportunities.References[1] “Next Generation Science Standards.” [Online].

This provided anopportunity for the students to explore and research the existing available mechanisms andmachines and to use them in their design challenge. Each cohort had specific constraints to workwith and would develop a unique mechanism; by combining the two mechanisms they could builda machine capable of the requested task(s).

However, these networks face many challenges when movingpetabytes (PBs) of scientific data, e.g., genomic, climate, imaging, and high-energy physics, [1].As a response, network architects have developed the concept of a Science Demilitarized Zone(Science DMZ or S-DMZ) [2] as parts of a
