In this course you will learn about and engage in the attitudes and behaviors employers arelooking for, and you will have practiced them so they are routine for you. You will be confidenton interviews for internships or career positions that you know what is expected. I will provideyou with feedback and help to develop these skills.” This framework allows me to relateproductive attitudes and behaviors in the classroom directly to their short-term interests as futureinterns and their careers after graduation. I can frame classroom issues such as professionalcommunication, working productively with their peers, academic honesty, respect

The survey is now being conducted on Construction management EngineeringTechnology (CmET) students.There were some minor differences in the two studies. Although the CmET students have beenpreviously exposed to projects with video interaction, these projects were optional. Therefore,not all CmET students had previously completed a video presentation. Both the instructor andthe students’ required Technical Writing course have offered optional video presentationprojects. Since the students have been exposed to the concept and this was the first timeintroducing video presentations in the course, very little course time was spent explicitly onlearning required techniques.

The aims of the coursewere to (1) help undergraduate students who are interested in research connect with facultypartners who are committed to mentoring undergraduates in research, (2) to guide students inreading through papers that introduce the type of research being carried out in a faculty partnerslab, (3) to guide students in drafting a mini-review of 5 papers relevant to that research, (4) toguide students in identifying and writing up a research proposal which they will complete in thelab of the faculty partner. In the first year, six academic departments out of eight participated inthis new course by offering a cross-listed course for their students under one major course taughtby one of the PIs at the STEM Center

Rubrics were developed to grade proposals for approval decision.Project proposals become an integral part of project contracts by each team.

Other countries have their own regulatory agencies, but many of them accept either the FCC or ETSI as proof of compliance. ‚ Network Topology: Due to the limited transmit power which reduces the maximum transmission range, multihop networks are needed. In multihop networks, the message source and destination addresses are not necessarily within range, and communication may occur through intermediate devices that relay messages. This happens with devices that are configured as peer-to-peer. ‚ Self-organization: To enable ease of installation, WSNs need to be self-organizing. Thus

involvedin traditional lecture were found to be 1.5 times more likely to fail as compared to those in classes withsignificant active learning. Some of the active learning techniques are peer review, flipped classrooms,hands-on technology, and cooperative group problem solving. Here is a brief description of thesemethods [10].In “peer review”, students are asked to complete an individual homework assignment or short paper. Onthe day the assignment is due, students submit one copy to the instructor to be graded and one copy totheir partner. Each student then takes their partner's work and, depending on the nature of theassignment, gives critical feedback, and corrects mistakes in content and/or grammar.In the “flipped classroom”, class time is devoted

various pedagogical techniques that a facultymember employs to connect and teach students. The traditional teacher-centered pedagogy isassociated with top down, hierarchal pedagogy that reinforces passive learning, rolememorization, and hinders the development of higher level cognitive skills ( (Duckworth, 2009;Cristillo, 2010). On the other hand, student-centered pedagogical strategies which promotekeeping students actively thinking, writing, comparing, and applying new knowledge result indeep learning and better student performance (Weimer, 2002; Wohlfarth, et al., 2008).

Tinto writes that, “For some students, especially thosewho, in the past, had struggled in school, the collaborative environment of the learningcommunity provided a safe place, a smaller knowable place of belonging, in which they werevalued and in which they discovered they could learn.”2 In subsequent evaluations, Tinto alsoidentified academic and social support networks as crucial components of student retention.3Laboratory projects can provide students with both

problem with regard to scholarship was the fear of failure. Many of the faculty feltthat they had nothing to offer or that they were not capable of writing and presenting atconferences. This was resolved by asking for assistance reviewing a few ASEE papers. Theperson asked to help was a peer leader and if this person bought in, then the mentor model couldbe utilized. After reviewing the papers, the response was, "I could do this." And, that is exactlywhat happened. Papers were written, accepted and published: individually and in small groups.After confidence was gained, more efforts were made and others were included. When newfaculty were hired one or two of the tenured faculty were assigned to assist new faculty withtheir start and before long
