Page 24.1040.3PowerPoint animation. Specific misconceptions were targeted in the demonstration. Apedagogical model referred as U-POSE methodically sequences students through the five stepsof these proposed MCNP6 demonstrations: Understand, Predict, Observe, Synthesize, andExplain. The final step culminates with students explaining the concept by authoring arepresentative concept question with a solution for a peer. This paper provides a model fornuclear engineering demonstration and proposes means for sharing demonstrations created usingthis model.The Problem In nuclear engineering studies at the U.S. Military Academy, the NaI (th) scintillatorradiation detector is a workhorse in our laboratory courses, and it is analyzed in depth in

) recognizes all Excelsior CollegeExaminations for the award of college-level credit.When Excelsior (then Regents) College was first accredited by TAC of ABET, it was under the‘old’, prescriptive accreditation criteria. [7] It was quite a challenge to both the commission andthe school to provide a meaningful visit experience to an institution that had no on-campusstudents, classrooms, labs or teaching faculty. The adoption by ABET of assessment-of-outcomes based criteria has made a world of difference; as Excelsior has always been essentiallyan assessment, rather than a course delivery, institution. [8] At the same time, Excelsior itself hasgone more ‘mainstream,’ by offering a growing number of on-line courses. In this environment,the accreditation

than the faculty. This is the third majordifference. The School’s advisors are specifically qualified and trained to assume thisprimary interface role, and have been recognized nationally for their particularcompetence. Since 1991, the National Academic Advising Association has presentedtwo Outstanding Advisor Awards and six Certificates of Merit to Excelsior Collegeadvisors. A Senior Advisor in the Technology unit of the School of Business andTechnology recently received one of the Outstanding Advisor Awards.The faculty comprises both a teaching faculty that develops and facilitates on-linecoursework and an advisory faculty that develops and review curricula, act on academicpolicy matters, evaluate courses and other credit-worthy experiences
