level, the students areprovided the speed of sound in the air at sea level, which is 340.29 m/s. Using this information,the students determine the theoretical amount of time it takes the robot to react to objects in frontof it using simple unit cancellation and conversion. Next, the students perform the experimentand compare their experimental results vis-à-vis the theoretical values. This leads to a discussionabout the temperature- and altitude-dependence of the speed of sound in air. To scale the lessonto the middle school level, the students are given object detection threshold values in inches,asked to convert them to centimeters, and perform experimental investigations to determine theachieved object detection distance in centimeters
undisclosed information about the quality of the findings in the results. The withdrawal alsodeprives the scientific community of a resource for information on the underlying research. Thegoals of profit and competitiveness are not in line with conduct/release of research [20].Tenure, Promotion, and Performance ReviewsAn academic’s publication record is the basis for the tangible rewards of academic life such astenure and promotion, contracts and grants, honors, salary, including merit pay, status, marketcompetitiveness, and prestige. The pressure to produce publication/research results comes fromthe consequences of no results, the inability to obtain new funding s and/or the denial of tenure,promotions, or merit increases in salary.

comprehensive review of this literature here, wecite and discuss selected works that have influenced our thinking.A large body of research evidence suggests that active learning techniques – broadlytaken here to mean any form of instruction that engages students beyond passivelyreceiving information – promote learning10,11. A particularly convincing study conductedby Hake in the 1990’s demonstrated that physics students exposed to some form of“interactive engagement” developed higher levels of conceptual understanding than thosein “traditional” instructional settings12. Active learning grounds the SCALE-UP projectat North Carolina State University13, many of the integrated engineering curricula thatemerged in the 1990’s14, and some of the emerging

Although this study suggests that an open-endedmodeling problem can support teams of students to engage in making assumptions, additionalstudies are needed to understand the ways group dynamics and class norms interact withstudents’ engagement in making assumptions.References[1] J.

column based on the testing system was 6 ftat SLU and 4 ft at Rose-Hulman. Furthermore, the capacity of the hydraulic ram used for thecompressive tests is 50 kips. The column was designed to buckle about its weak axis at differentloads depending on effective length to illustrate elastic and/or inelastic buckling. The resultingsection was a W3x2.54 GR 60 “junior I-beam” (3 in. deep I-beam) acquired from Gerdau that istypically used for cross beams of box truck floors. The I-beam has slightly tapered flangessimilar to an S-shape compared to a wide-flange beam typically used as a column, but can still beused effectively to accomplish the objectives of the module. The first step in the design process was to create the column buckling curves
to trigger and monitor logic outputs. Also, its elapsed simulation time is controlled by the user.Figure 10. A datapath with 8 registers, 1 decoder and 2 multiplexers but excluding an ALU At the bottom of the datapath as not shown in figure 10, a function unit which consists of an arithmetic unit and a logic unit (ALU), as well as a shift unit is usually connected at the bottom of figure 10. An input named FS (Function Select) is used to choose which operation to act on the data from the registers that are released by the multiplexers. Full adders and 2’s complement conversions are usually used to build the arithmetic unit. Additional multiplexers inside the function unit are used to form addends and logic shift
