The remainder of this paper documents early efforts to develop, deliver, and evaluatesolar training programs in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.This Midwestern solar instructor training effort is being led by the Midwest Renewable EnergyAssociation (MREA) of Custer, WI. A diverse coalition has been formed so that each state inthe region has representation. It is a unique strength of the Midwest region that communitycolleges, non

Also, at a 2009 symposium ofengineering graduate students at a large mid-Atlantic research university, a representativesampling of presentations averaged more than 40 words per minute. In addition, the paper calculates this metric for representative presentations thatfollow alternative slide structures. For instance, in a large set of assertion–evidencepresentations created by international science and engineering Ph.D. students for whomEnglish is a second language, the projected words per minute were less than 20. Thatnumber contrasts dramatically with the more than 40 projected words per minute fromU.S. graduate students.

belief surveys. One of the most commonly used measures is Fisherand Peterson’s Adaptive Expertise Beliefs survey [1]. As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction. Results indicated a significant difference in overall adaptive expertise beliefscores. However, researchers did not find significant differences between the two groups on anyof the individual Fisher and

Data CollectionT he data analyzed in this paper was collected at a large, predominantly white research institutionin the mid-Atlantic U.S. Participants were recruited from a survey that was distributed toundergraduate students in a living-learning community (LLC) and graduate students, both enrolledin the same college of engineering. T his sampling approach was purposive (Creswell & PlanoClark (2007) as diversity-related initiatives were ongoing at the institution and we aimed toleverage these efforts to facilitate discussion. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews,conducted by six different researchers. Though no attempts were made to match the race or genderof the participant with the

Funding was providedagain from SUCCEED to revise the delivery method of the first year courses to include theseactivities. Fall semester of 2001, students in all 36 sections of EF1015 were exposed to asequence of team collaborative active learning opportunities.A questionnaire to assess student perceptions of learning was given at mid-semester and at theend of the fall 2000 semester to eight hands-on (HO) sections and ten traditional (TR) sections.9A discussion of the end of semester results of the HO students versus the TR
Academic Integrity into Engineering CoursesAbstractThis study examined how a professional development workshop affected faculty members’perspectives about incorporating academic integrity into their engineering courses. Embedded inthe context of a new initiative at a large Mid-Atlantic University that aims to enhanceengineering students’ understanding of academic integrity and professional ethics, the workshopfeatured three aspects: 1) enhancing faculty members’ self-efficacy in teaching academicintegrity and professional ethics; 2) facilitating their development of instructional strategies forteaching integrity and ethics; and 3) supporting their classroom implementation of instructionalplans. Seven faculty participants were interviewed after
majordifferences between coping networks of students who are able to successfully manage stress versusthose who are not able to? To answer these questions, we surveyed graduate engineering studentsat a mid-sized Mid-Atlantic institution. The survey consists of three major sections: (1) thePerceived Stress Questionnaire (S. Levenstein, et al. J. Psychosom. Res., vol 37, no. 1, pp. 19-32,1993.), which is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's perceived stress level, (2) asection for respondents to identify and rank major sources of stress, and (3) a section forrespondents to identify and rank major coping strategies. The survey identified research, grades,and issues relating to mental health as major stressors for all groups, and people

This longitudinal studyhas been using quantitative and qualitative methods to better understand the undergraduateengineering experience and how the University is preparing engineering students. A componentof this longitudinal study is learning about the experiences of international students in theCollege of Engineering.The College of Engineering at the mid-Atlantic University has experienced an increase in thefraction of international students that parallels national trends. In 2007, the percentage of first-year engineering students from outside the U.S. was 3.2%; by 2012, it had risen to 10.7%.Because of the increasing

It is guided by the theory of liminality. Forty-two postdocsemployed at a Mid-Atlantic, research-intensive University, participated in individual interviewsto describe their experiences as postdocs at the University. This paper provides answers to thefollowing three research questions: (1) What are the benefits and challenges of science andengineering postdoc positions? (2) What liminal experiences characterize the postdoc position?and (3) What recommendations to improve the postdoc experience emerge from this study?IntroductionThe purpose of this study is to learn about the
