?  What specific topics or information do you hope will be covered as part of the professional development activities during this summer research experience?The focus of the post-experience survey was to assess academic and developmental outcomesassociated with program participation, as well as students’ experiences. Many of the questionsfrom the pre-experience survey were repeated in the post-experience survey, which alloweddirect comparison of individual answers across the 10-week program. The post-survey alsoincluded a set of open ended questions:  What part(s) of the summer program did you find most valuable or helpful?  What part(s) of the summer program did you find least valuable or helpful?  Please share any

The Powermodule is configured to automatically send the system into LPM3 as soon as the systementers an idle state. This will happen while the system is waiting for the Battery OKhardware interrupt and in between Clock ticks. This idle, low-power state accounts forabout 98.6% of overall runtime. The Semaphore module provides an inter-thread signalingmechanism within the RTOS. In this project, a semaphore is posted every 2,000 Clockticks, or every 2 s.

Additional topics of discussion include: 1) how to keep a happyand healthy life style, 2) where to get help? and 3) what are the opportunities for leadership orscholarship? The discussions are conducted in round table groups to provide an open format.The second workshop focuses on the supervisory relationship.

For example, while a student in Category 1’s reliance on authority andconcrete rules might be less sophisticated than a more self-directed, self-assured approachevident in Category 3, learning from experts in the field and developing a familiarity withfoundational knowledge and skills in engineering is a key step in being able to progress as anindependent engineering researcher. Though students’ responses at a particular point in time maybe best represented by one category, it is possible and likely that students’ level of researchprocess sophistication will change over time as a result of their experiences.Though our process for classifying graduate engineering students’ research processsophistication was an

Van Ginkel et al.’s study of 52 publicationscovering the topic of oral presentations and peer assessment in higher education over a 20-yearperiod included none specifically on the graduate level in engineering.6 It thus appears that thepedagogy has not been widely disseminated to graduate-level engineering courses; work at theUniversidad de Málaga in Spain is a notable exception in the literature

The first was Scottet al.’s 2004 report30 investigating motivations of students in business, engineering and educationprofessional doctorate programs. More recently Wellington & Sikes31 addressed the sameresearch question. Notably, the latter researchers observed, as did Humphrey & McCarthy32 in1999, that doctoral students “no longer form a homogeneous population” (p.725). Among themotivations were: renewal, personal satisfactions e.g., overcoming challenges, becoming excep-tional, a differentiator from the MBAs, work demands, the flexibility of such programs, i.e., aperceived difference from what some perceived as

Inrecognition of this problem, the objective of this paper is to present the geothermal energy as oneof the clean and sustainable form of renewable energy that uses the heat stored in the Earth as itssource of energy. Its first commercial uses dates back to the early 1800’s and has continued togrow throughout the years. One of its most known and common uses is at a small scale as a heatsource for residences. It can also be used at a much larger scales. There are several questions thatcome up with large scale geothermal energy model. How much energy can be produced? Cangeothermal energy produce enough energy for a whole town, city, or country? What is the initialcost and lifelong cost of geothermal energy? Are there

We have put a lot of emphasis on needing to educate this influx of international students that academic integrity is very important here.[26]Several studies conducted in the 1990’s pointed to academic dishonesty and cheating being onthe rise, but found that courses in ethics could reduce the students’ propensity to engage inunethical academic or business practices.[21] All of these solutions, which were focused onstudents, would probably not be able to be put in place by a single instructor or in one course, butrather need to be addressed, supported and
