All of the concepts that are proposed as part of the project are based uponresearch findings from STEM education research (described below). The plan is todisseminate the MSE apps through the Apple App store, but currently they run only onour many iPod test devices during the development and testing phase of the projectbecause of Apple’s development licensing restrictions. At the conclusion of the project,all materials will be placed on the NSF sponsored National Science Digital Library(NSDL).While much is known about more effective practices in STEM education, many barriersexist to

demand unique new competencies of professional engineers.  In the context of the Sociology of Professions, the ASME Board of Governors’ position on licensure reflects an orientation consistent with industries’ interest in maintaining a large supply of low-cost engineering talent. This perspective is clearly not in the best interest of the engineering profession, as it will only contribute further to the commoditization of engineering services and the subordination of the engineer’s professional authority to a corporate entity.References1.

administered at the beginning of the studio project, itis expected that start-up adjustments and normalization of student attitudes would lower theoverall perception of the students. The perceptions for the junior-level courses and thedistributions between the two classes are very similar despite being implemented by entirelydifferent personnel. Such a result is a positive indicator of the benefits of the systematicimplementation plan described above. While the majority of student responses for all threeclasses are positive, a lower fraction of sophomores perceive value. There are several plausiblefactors that may contribute to the difference between sophomores and juniors. As the

ofwriting still provides a useful overview of the ways in which writing practices can supportlearning [47]. He reviews four hypotheses: 1) the initial act of writing itself brings forth newknowledge as writers allow ideas to flow; 2) learning occurs as writers move through therevision process, as writers organize, link, evaluate, and refine their ideas; 3) different genrestructures such as argument, compare/contrast, or analysis support learning by helping studentsmove through logical processes; and 4) learning occurs as students plan their writing and setgoals and sub-goals for problem solving. Klein notes that while each of these hypotheses havemerit, and some degree of empirical evidence existed at the time of his writing to support them,much

For instance, a research survey of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and tenuretrack/tenured faculty found that more graduate student women than men (28.5% of women vs.7.2% of men) are concerned that a career in science will be detrimental to their plans for a family(Ecklund and Lincoln 2011: 4).xxiv For many women – and some men – these concerns persistbeyond the graduate experience. For example, a 2009 National Research Council of the NationalAcademy of Sciences report found that women who receive a doctorate in science andengineering are less likely than men to seek academic research positions, and are more likely todrop out of the academy before tenure when they do pursue a faculty position.xxv1 A November2009

”. It is a centrally planned and controlledsystem with relatively little flexibility to fluctuations in energy demand. As the nation and theeconomy becomes increasingly digital, energy demand is growing rapidly. For example, it isestimated that by 2015 around 60% of the total electrical load will be from chip technologies andautomated manufacturing versus 10% of the total in the 1990s 1. While the automotive industry is presently dependent on petroleum sources, the growingpresence of Plug-in Hybrid Electric (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) will begin toact as a stress upon the electrical grid by drawing resources during times of peak energy demand.A study from Oak Ridge National Laboratory finds that charging vehicles during off

The obvious downside, which is not insignificant and is of major concern toadministrators because of the cost, is that I obviously make a large number of copies. Onepossible solution, though I have not tried it, is to have students buy a “course guide” that has anyhandouts or example problem statements all together in one package. This of course means thatthe entire course needs to be planned out well before the first day of class which is not alwayspossible.At least once in the quarter, usually near the end, I dedicate a class period to more formal groupwork where I will rearrange the class into groups (i.e. not just working with neighbors) and givethem problems from topics throughout the course

Furthermore, teachers emphasized parts of theBID curricula that aligned with their teaching backgrounds and training.Teachers’ understanding of integrated curricula also impacts students learning [37]. As such, they tendto plan, modify, and enact curricula based on their perception of its relevance to their students. In onestudy, Steven et al.
