Students were then placed in one of three categories basedon their test scores: Spatial Novice, Spatial Intermediate, and Spatial Master. A different pointvalue was associated with each category, as shown in Table 1, with a maximum of five pointstranslating to full credit for the 5% of the semester course grade as suggested by Segil

Leveling the Playing FieldWhiteboard – Reducing PowerPointWhether to use PowerPoint or not is always a debate among Physics/Engineering instructors. Theviews on this topic are polarized. The camp which uses PowerPoint presentations advocatesorganization, clarity, and precision. On the other hand, the instructors who advocate the use ofwhiteboard take pride in modification of class, spontaneity, personalization, and pace. This paperencourages a mix of both methods.For example, a problem question was projected on the whiteboard and students were also giventhe problem question on a handout.

In this paper, we shared our experience in teaching theMEMS curriculum in master program of Electrical Engineering department. Three corecourses have been developed for MEMS curriculum. The course description, goals,prerequisites, as well as the topics covered in these courses are discussed. Multimediatechnology is used in the teaching to enhance the teaching results. Several MEMS courseprojects using ANSYS simulation are designed to help student accumulate experience inMEMS device design and simulation.

The model classifies specificcognitive errors made by students and defines new ways of identifying students who have notfully mastered a skill but have an explainable cognition error. This study presents the results of atheoretical simulation study that aims to examine the potential for Partial-Mastery CognitiveDiagnosis model to classify students who have partially, but not fully, mastered skills inengineering courses. The results can enable educators identify students’ current conceptualmodels in order to create targeted interventions to rectify misconceptions, to adapt curriculumbased on student mastery, and to provide individualized feedback.Keyword: cognitive diagnosis model; mastery learning; adaptive learning; adaptive

Both the market demands as well as thestudent’s expectations are for an educational product that will prepare engineers as technicalmanagers, thus the MS degrees are usually offered as a thesis or non-thesis option – with thenon-thesis option being the overwhelming preference. This places pressures on the researchcomponent of engineering management educational frontier.

During the first three years of the Bachelor program studentsfocus on fundamental knowledge and basic skills.

In the case of this paper specifically, the implemented featureslisted in bold enabled the testing of the Class 0 poll that a Master DNP3 device would send to anOutstation device in order to retrieve all the data configured therein as Class 0. Class 0 data in aDNP3 device is merely ‘static’ data which cannot be configured for event messages. Forexample a current or voltage level could be configured as Class 0 data.Figure 2 Wire Shark Decode of Class 0 poll and responseFigure 2 shows the Wire Shark decode of a Class 0 poll issued from the Master DNP3 device andthe response from the Outstation.

Laid the master model (prototype brake shoe) on a sheet of wax paper. 2. Applied wax mold release on the parting surfaces of the master model. Hint: more coats of wax will be needed if the surface is porous. These layers of wax will fill the tiny surface imperfections keeping the epoxy resin from locking into these imperfections. 3. Applied two layers of gel coat to entire parting surface of the master model and onto the wax paper. Waited 45 minutes between coats. 4. Cut fiberglass cloth to small pieces, up to three or four
