Coast Guard Academy Plasma Lab (CGAPL) Background and Initiatives The Physics Section at the CGA continues to make steps toward developing our studentundergraduate research in magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) and Plasma Physics with the CoastGuard Academy Plasma Lab (CGAPL). The lab is in its mid stages of development with 8 activeundergraduate students and 4 collaborating instructors and staff. CGAPL is a nexus for ProjectBasedLearning(PBL) and undergraduate exploration. Here, MHD applications to Coast Guardmissions and investigations into plasma

One reward may be an extra homework grade to offset some oftheir previous lower grades. Also, some students do not want to talk in public (classroom).Debate activity is the answer to motivate and engage this type of learning style. They cancontribute to their team by research, writing, or preparing a presentation instead of talking inpublic.ConclusionTools and techniques are presented for the teaching of graduate courses in engineering education.These are used at the University of Bridgeport. They are based on students’ learning styles andmultiple intelligences. Students take in and

address this issue. There also seem to be stark differences between industry and academia in work andlearning cultures. Teamwork and cooperation are not often highly valued and rewarded inacademia in the ways that they are in industry. "The culture of academia for students is characterized by competition. Students are placed in large classrooms with curved grading systems that discourage collaboration and information sharing…This contrast in cultures, from academia where students are viewed as receivers of information from faculty and collaboration is discouraged by the competitive culture and few opportunities for formal interaction exist, to corporations, where employees utilize each others' knowledge

explaining to other students about their choice and rationale. 4. Carry out the necessary research and analysis and generate possible solutions. Students are reminded by the instructor “not to aim too high” at this stage. It is essential to make the core of the project working before adding on optional packages. Time limit of the laboratory usually prevents students from creating a very comprehensive system. They need to learn to generate reasonably good solutions within a deadlineWe also encourage and promote cooperative learning15,16,17 by involving students working inteams to accomplish a common goal. Specifically, student groups are formed to conduct labs.Each group has a leader and two or three team members. Early on

Across the three pilotedcourses, student perceptions were overwhelming positive on scale of: {-2 (Strongly Disagree), -1(Disagree), 0 (Neutral), 1 (Agree), 2 (Strongly Agree)}. Foremost, results analyzed usingANOVA indicate the transportability of GLASS across a range of STEM disciplines, includingComputer Science, Industrial Engineering, and Electrical/Computer Engineering. In particular,ANOVA analysis indicated that there were no significant differences among the three courses inmost of the survey questions except the last question: “Etherpad/Cacoo tools were sufficientlyeasy to learn:” whereby F(2, 176) = 4.966, p = .008.
