Breakout groups within each session promoted interactions among subsets ofthe participants; these were critical for encouraging broad participation, with each breakoutgroup reporting back to the full VCP afterward. Pre-planned topics included (1) Introduction tothe Circuits VCP, (2) Overview of Research-based Instructional Approaches, (3) LearningObjectives and Bloom’s Taxonomy, (4) Student Motivation, (5) Teams, and (6) & (7) Makingthe Classroom More Interactive.

academic advisor toenroll. Through the class assignments, the students are asked to do items that are helpful for theirsuccess as an engineering student. The purposes of the class are to:  Graduate the student in engineering,  Develop the student professionally with subjects not taught in the classroom, and  Send the graduated student directly to graduate school full-time.The class is built on the “Guaranteed 4.0 Plan” by Donna O. Johnson.5 This system has anexcellent time management plan and teaches the students “how to learn” and how to earn andmaintain a straight “A” average. Other topics include: resumes, elevator speeches, how to work acareer fair, portfolios, the 4+1 plan, graduate school, research, career plans for 10 years

The mod-ules will be highly transferrable to other traditional engineering programs such as chemical, mechanicaland electrical as well as biomedical engineering programs.

Based on the student interviews, to our great satisfaction, they did. In fact,the very great majority of students (96%) indicated they used the progress reports as a stepping-stone and/or applied

Then, our plan of how to apply this approach in a classroom setting is laid out withsome discussion of lessons learned from using similar but longer exercises in a lab setting.Finally, we give examples of the type of hardware that will be used and the type of worksheetsthat could be used in concert with the hardware.Introduction:This paper reports on the status of work being done to develop classroom exercises to helpstudents better

The gap between supply ofskilled workforce and demand in nanotechnology is expected to continue in growth for a while.This paper describes efforts to help in bridging this void of workforce through the developmentand implementation of a comprehensive lab component for educating an interdisciplinary classof engineering and science students at the junior level. The course is introduced as part of alarger plan to bring nanotechnology into undergraduate education. The approach followed in thislab development is unique since it aims at

In the case of the HWB, head lossdue to the flow path (pipe friction, fitting losses etc. from the source to the first manometer) wasnegligible. We measured a 0.5 cm. difference (or loss) between these two points. It is importantto note that the flow rate had to be adjusted in order for the bridge to work properly. This wasdone by trial and error and once set, the remainder of the tests worked properly. While we didnot have a flowmeter sensitive enough to measure it, we plan to incorporate a rotameter tomonitor the flow in the next model. Page 11.56.7 Table 2. Results of

Another team spent too much timeon building the hardware and had not enough time to tune the integrated system for the projectgoals. Furthermore, almost all the teams had to work late in the last week to catch up the projectdeadline.At the end of the semester, each team presented the design with a demonstration to the class. Afinal group report was also required to conclude their team project.
