This interactive training session took place in the contextof complex, technical conversations and engineering projects, and led participants throughexercises where they took on the roles of both speaker and listener. Participants were introducedto three tools that can be used when you are the “speaker” initiating a conversation about acomplex topic: reducing jargon, using good analogies, and checking for understanding. Each ofthese strategies was defined and specific guidelines were offered for how to implement it duringconversations. Then, the

In contrast toa traditional exam, PT is performed in small groups and in a controlled environment. PT examsare observed so that faculty can determine how students approach problem solving anddebugging that cannot be observed otherwise. Similarly, once they are in place, PT examinationscan be used to ensure that transfer students have the same abilities as native students.Based on these arguments we would expect the following benefits to come from using PT: 1. Improved quality of student work 2. Improved courses and curriculum based on direct observational feedback 3. Ensured level of proficiency among native and

Once designed, components can be manufactured(and some automatically) with a variety of traditional and modern machines including 3Dprinters; laser, water and plasma cutters; and computer controlled mills, lathes and routers.Sensors that measure nearly any physical parameter can then be readily integrated with systemsto monitor and control functions.Access to manufacturing technology has been made easier due to a convergence of factors,including the ease of use of tools, reductions in the cost of manufacturing equipment

English as a SecondLanguage (ESL) are not capable of evaluating domestic student writing. This resistance to theidea of training ESL GTAs is rooted in the outdated belief that good writing can be reduced toproper grammar, punctuation, and style. The thought is that if someone has not mastered theminutia of English mechanics (this supposition about NNES students is problematic itself), thatperson is unlikely to be able to teach others those rules. It is true that people who speak Englishas a second language struggle to write academic papers in English [21]. However, there is alsobias on the part of American academics and undergraduate students with regard to languageability when a non-native speaker of English steps into the role of instructor [22
