integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos. However, theviews of Euler on the nature of mathematics differed sharply from the views of the nineteenthcentury mathematicians. In fact, he understood a function to be in the constellation of ideasregarding equations in two variables, curves and tables. To quote David M. Bressoud4: … to the mathematicians before 1807, functions were polynomials, roots, powers, and logarithms; trigonometric functions and their inverses; and whatever could be built up by addition

When implementation does occur, the generatedresults would need to be studied and further modifications would be made to the teaching approach.Eventually, the module and learning materials along with the project will be made highly accessible toeducators through a centralized soft robotic teaching website being developed at Rowan University.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2235647.

motivate too many individuals. We need something more specific such as a parent telling their son or daughter to set their sights on getting “A”s because graduate school may depend on it. Edwin Loche wrote in 1960 that a person’s intention to work toward a goal that was specific, achievable and had feedback was a great motivator for most people.8 He felt that goals not only tell the person what has to be done but they give a good approximation of the amount of effort required. Also, as well as goal setting works, it works better when the goal is higher rather than lower so long as the goal was accepted by the student. Higher, not lower expectations from the teacher are motivating. Students require feedback to be motivated so

Third, the examemphasizes the importance of the Level-3 competencies to our students and faculty. Students arekeenly aware that retention of knowledge and skills in the core areas is a requirement forgraduation in addition to simply completing required course work. Faculty awareness of theneed to help students learn fundamental concepts is also heightened.Table 2 shows the 18 Level-3 competencies assessed by the exam.

The electronic survey covered Supplemental Instruction and Peer-LedTeam Learning for General Chemistry I, Pre-Calculus and Calculus I. Enrollment data (Table I)indicate that about 2/3 of Fall quarter freshmen should be enrolled in either Pre-Calculus orCalculus I, and at most 1/20 should be without a Fall math class. On the survey, 1/22respondents stated that (s)he did not take math in Fall, which is consistent with enrollment data.An additional 3/22 students did not identify a math instructor; two of those answered noquestions beyond those about the EFLC, suggesting that they simply stopped participating in thesurvey.

are described below. The wind tunnel has a test section measuring approximately 12 in x12 in x 24 in (305mm x 305mm x 610mm), and has a maximum air speed of approximately 140mph (63 m/s). It is instrumented with an electronic strain-gage based balance for measurementsof normal force, axial force, pitching moment, and pressure distribution as a function of air speedand angle of attack. Both manual as well as electronic pressure sensing is available on thisfacility. An electronic pressure scanning unit containing 32 individual electronic pressuresensors is also used in conjunction with this facility. This latter unit can be used to provide real-time visualization of the pressure distribution in the wind tunnel, in much the same manner as ithas
should ask the studentsto discuss it with the person(s) in the immediate vicinity and try to determine “the truth”through discussion. They’ll stare blankly at first but once the instructor says “No, I’mserious - discuss it with each other,” they’ll get the message. One might suppose that theresult of such a request would be some desultory and quiet discussions which would quicklydie down. How wrong such a presumption would be. Every time I’ve initiated such a processthe noise level ratchets up at an amazing rate. Students truly get into it - arguing forciblyfor one view or another. The energy level generated is simply astounding.After a couple of minutes the instructor should call time and again ask for a show of hands.Depending on the point
