: “This course had the greatest impact on be mainly because of the instructor. I decided to come to graduate school, and to pursue a career in academia, right after taking this class. The professors teaching style was so engaging that it made me want to learn more about the topics covered in class. Even though I am not specializing in the specific area of that class (fluid mechanics and water resources), this class introduced me to the notion of wanting to learn more than what is covered in textbooks.”Eight participants indicated the course’s impact on their own self-efficacy. Olivia remembers herIntroduction to Electrical Engineering course because of its impact on her mindset goingforward: “This course was
13.510.15Measuring progress is the primary responsibility of the College’s resident experts in engineeringeducation evaluation, who routinely provide assistance and expertise to conceptualize, develop,and carry out evaluations of educational innovations. The plan developed for this partnershipemploys short-term and long-term surveys, anecdotal questions, participant and student tracking,and performance measurement. In addition, joint assessment strategies focus on evaluating theexperiences of all participating individuals as well as the operational effectiveness of theprogram. For the first year, partners are evaluating YPSD secondary students’, FacultyAffiliates’, and Teaching Fellows’ experiences in learning, teaching, and mentoring. Over time,the annual
that considers the multiple environments central to one’s life andwork. The authors suggested that interventions be focused on 1) reducing role conflictsimposed by multiple environments, 2) providing continuity of training efforts, 3) creating apositive and rewarding mentoring culture, 4) and incorporating and evaluating efforts toincrease one’s research self-efficacy beliefs. Lent and Brown28 initially proposed a model forwork satisfaction that extends their scholarship on Social Cognitive Career Theory26. In thisprocess model, the authors posit that work satisfaction is influenced by 1) one’s affective traits,2) participation in goal-directed activities, 3) environmental supports and resources, 4) workself-efficacy and 5) both expected and

will benefit consumers and thesociety. Research results enhance undergraduate students' learning in such courses as Independent Studyand Senior Capstone Design. Training undergraduate students through the cooperative learning canincrease their chances to secure jobs in the field of advanced manufacturing.Materials and MethodsAll the materials used in this work were purchased from Alfa Aesar. Fig. 1(a) shows the schematic of theelectric force assisted nanocasting experimental set-up. A precision auto lapping/polishing machine wasused as the main part. This machine contains a rotating platform whose speed can be well controlled. AShimpo tachometer was used to measure its rotating speed. The TiO2 nanotube specimen was put at thetwo ends of a
