Moreover, we will gather data oninteractions among members of the interdisciplinary design teams, and subject these data todiscourse analysis in order to observe the types and nature of interaction among ECE and ENGstudents. These data will be used to triangulate the results of the analysis of survey data and willsupport revisions and enhancements to learning opportunities afforded to students in futureofferings of these courses.

Null hypothesis isassumed to be rejected if the p value is < 0.10, recorded below as Significant (S); otherwise, it isnot significant (NS) that is it is not certain there was a significant difference between the pre andpost-survey responses for that category.

unmanned systems both air and ground. His team deployed a bomb finding robot named the LynchBot to Iraq late in 2004 and then again in 2006 deployed about a dozen more improved LynchBots to Iraq. His team also assisted in the deployment of 84 TACMAV systems in 2005. Around that time he volunteered as a science advisor and worked at the Rapid Equipping Force during the summer of 2005 where he was exposed to a number of unmanned systems technologies. His initial group composed of about 6 S&T grew to nearly 30 between 2003 and 2010 as he transitioned from a Branch head to an acting Division Chief. In 2010-2012 he again was selected to teach Mathematics at the United States Military Academy West Point. Upon returning

Teachers engaging in interdisciplinary curriculum are often freed from isolation, allowed toactively take on multiple roles in teaching,10 and supported in reconstructing their roles andviews on their profession.6 On the other hand, some kind of mechanism—either institutionalor social—also needs to be in place in order to foster interdisciplinary cooperation amongteachers in the long run.8 In December 2013, three university teachers from civil engineering (CE), building andplanning (B&P), and futures studies (FS) embarked on a 3-year

Considering this was a point of emphasis in the review packet andrelated to this experiment, it seemed a fair question on the final exam to gauge if the students hadmore comprehension of why certain terms in the balance were removed.The question was: “Recall the experiment you all did on the last day of class. The height of water in the column is 25” and you measure a flow rate of 0.000213 kg/s. I used the mechanical energy balance and simplified it to .
