This is unlike the WPA2 case where all clients and for all their sessions, the PMK is the same and predictable. • The second major new concept in WPA3 personal security is the mechanism used by both the client and AP to compute independently the same PMK value without being ever

Because the students must quickly formgroups to work on their projects (note that they are not assigned to groups), significant time isdevoted prior to and at the beginning of the semester to helping students get to know each other.For instance, all students are invited to an informal pre-class social so they can meet each otherin a relaxed atmosphere.

Extensive research demonstrates that children, students andadults have a number of prevalent and persistent misconceptions in these concept areas.12-14Evidence is presented to demonstrate that engineering students similarly have relatedmisconceptions. Specifically, the study examines misconceptions related to four targetedconcept areas that have been identified by educators as both important and difficult for studentsto master: (1) temperature vs. energy, (2) factors that affect the rate vs. the amount of energytransferred, (3) temperature vs. perceptions of hot and cold and (4) the effect of surfaceproperties on thermal radiation.Students' conceptual understanding was assessed using

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011Introduction There is broad recognition that meaningful learning requires that students master fundamentalconcepts. Understanding concepts and the connections among concepts is one of the primary distinctionsbetween experts and novices (Bransford et al., 2000; Chi, 2006;). Conceptual understanding is also aprerequisite for students to transfer what they have learned in the classroom to new settings, somethingthat is arguably among the most significant goals of an engineering education. While there is little disagreement about the importance of conceptual learning, a wealth ofevidence drawn from decades of research in the sciences (Lightman et al., 1993; Laws et al., 1999; Chi

First, theeducation and training of an engineer takes time, and, second, people make their educationalcareer choices based on labor market conditions they perceive when entering college. This lastassumption may be extended to when the potential engineers decide on masters or doctoralprograms.Starting from an equilibrium wage rate for entry-level engineers, an
