The case study in this innovative teaching approach, isintended not only to facilitate stated course objectives, but to encourage students to studyother cultures on their own, where they may plan to travel, or have already visited, to seewhat role technology has played. In so doing, they may find nuanced instances of thedigital divide worldwide, and issues that may either realistically complicate or

maintaining transfer momentum - full-time student status was oneof the strongest predictors of transfer in an analysis of 2003-2009 data from community collegesacross the U.S., doubling the probability that a student will transfer to a 4-year program (LaSotaand Zumeta, 2016). While maintaining academic momentum is a factor in improving graduationrates, scholarships also allow for greater opportunity to engage in campus activities outside ofclass, increasing students’ engagement with their institution (Marra et al., 2015). Several studiesat the Community College of Baltimore County showed that targeted scholarship programs (likeNSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM))can increase the number of

for water similar to the treat-ment of ideal gases. In lieu of a simple mathematical relationship between the thermodynamic properties of water,property charts serve an important purpose by allowing students to visualize processes and cycles.Engineering students are already encouraged to sketch their cycles on temperature-entropy (T-s)charts and to study various modifications of the Rankine Cycle. Such property chart sketches areuseful for highlighting how most ideal engineering processes follow constant property lines suchas isobars and isotherms. However, without connecting these sketches to the property values,students fail to recognize the interdependence of thermodynamic properties. Rather than relyingon supplementary function of the

To ensure delay-insensitivity, NCL circuits must adhere to thefollowing criteria: Input-Completeness 16 and Observability 16. Furthermore, when circuits utilizethe bit-wise completion strategy with selective input-incomplete components, they must alsoadhere to the completion-completeness criterion 19, which requires that completion signals onlybe generated such that no two adjacent DATA wavefronts can interact within any combinationalcomponent.NCL systems consist of Registration, Combinational Logic, and Completion Detection,connected together as shown in Figure 1.

asking students to sketch thermodynamic cycles on a temperature-entropy T-s or pressure-volume P-v chart. The typical analytical steps involving propertyretrieval followed by depiction on a property chart is disjointed and reversed. If property valuesare acquired directly from a property chart, the process is integrated into a single intuitive stepthat promotes deeper understanding. While printed charts exist, they can be challenging to readconsidering a single point must supply up to six discrete values (namely P, T, v, u, h, and s).Instead, an interactive property chart that displays properties values for user-identified states canbe highly effective visual aid. This was the inspiration behind the Clausius app. Clausius allowsusers to simply

In this regard, educating the future engineeringworkforce (educational policy making) and establishing effective up-to-date policy making in theoperational aspects of engineering profession (professional policy making) are two important pillars ofsustaining the knowledge and practice of ethics in engineering profession.Regarding the professional policy making, US National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE)establishes the code(s) of ethics for professional engineering guidance and compliance [3].

THINKING TOOL IN CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS AbstractThis study examines the relationship among learning, writing, critical thinking, and knowledgeretention. Having noted students‟ surprise at failing a math placement test when they believethey “know” the material on it, the author hypothesizes that a lack of critical thinking about thematerial in earlier math courses allows students‟ memory of it to fade over time. The author usesBloom‟s Taxonomy, as modified and published in 2001, to show the need for higher-levelthinking to facilitate knowledge retention. Writing is used as a principal strategy for stimulatingcritical thinking among students studying Contemporary Mathematics at
student interest and attitudes [17]. Interest in engineering has also been shown toincrease with outreach [18]. Additional work has shown that students participating in anengineering camp were more likely than control students to take STEM courses in high school[19].STEM identity describes the extent to which an individual sees themselves as a “science person”,“math person”, etc. [20]. STEM identity has also been linked to youth enrolling inpost-secondary STEM education [21]. Fit or belonging is also believed to be a factor in gendergaps in STEM enrolment, where explanations based on abilities, interest, and self-efficacy fallshort [22].While we list a number of possible constructs above, it is unclear which one(s) (such as STEMidentity and self
