During this period, UGTAs were notinvolved in assessing student work on MEAs, though they did support classroomimplementation. However, in Fall 2009, UGTAs, serving as either peer teachers (classroominstructional team members and graders) or out-of-classroom graders, became equallyresponsible with the GTAs for providing feedback on and evaluating students’ MEA work. Thisrecent staffing change brings challenges to implementing open-ended engineering problems.UGTAs, particularly sophomores, have minimal academic, teaching, or professional experience,as compared to

No solution is given to them and it is not covered in the prior course lectures, though the lab teaching assistant will help them to figure out the solution. In addition, at the end of each laboratory exercise, the students ask a series of reflection questions to help them evaluate their performance and what they could do better.All of these courses were initiated in response to industry demand. In the 1980’s, AT&Tsponsored a project to develop manufacturing-related courses

Morgan State University (MSU) is the only Historically Black College and University(HBCU) offering a structured program in RF (radio frequency) and microwaves at theundergraduate level. Within this program, RF/microwave courses are offered as senior electiveswithin the Electrical Engineering curriculum. However, these courses suffered low enrollment,poor retention and minimal student engagement. Recently, with the award of a National ScienceFoundation (NSF) Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement Grant, microwaveequipment was purchased to provide minority students with a laboratory environment thatincorporates cooperative learning to increase student interest in RF Microwave Engineeringfields.

The LND neutron fission chamber was tested and the spatial distribution of neutrons in Beam Port 3 of the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory nuclear reactor and the neutron flux were determined. 2. This internship was successful with the two students being able to recruit more students to the radiochemistry program upon their return to their alma mater. The presence of the faculty member from the originating institution not only made this internship possible, it also had a direct effect on the quality of the work generated. This arrangement serves as a model, for both minority and majority institutions aiming to enrich the academic exposure of students in this field
