SCI is a ten-week domestic research program in which sophomore and juniorstudents complete quantum-related research internships with faculty at an urban university.This study is timely given that science and engineering (S&E) research is an increasinglyinternational effort. In its 2015 Science Indicators, the most recent year available, the NationalScience Board noted that 33% of science and engineering papers published in the U.S. in 2013were internationally coauthored; at the same time international citations among papers by U.S.authors increased from 43% to 53% between 1996 – 2012 [1]. This shows the increasingimportance of international research and collaborations for science & engineering researchers inthe U.S. Furthermore, in

Tools for Assessing Student Outcomes: Use of Faculty and Student Assessments Ann M. Anderson and Richard D. Wilk Department of Mechanical Engineering Union College Schenectady, NYAbstractWith the adoption of an outcomes-based approach to engineering education, it has becomenecessary to develop methods for assessing students’ abilities to meet program outcomes. In themid 1990’s, a major reform was undertaken in the mechanical engineering curriculum at UnionCollege. This was preceded by the development of a mission statement, program objectives, andspecification
that gives a review of electro-magnetics, transmission line theory, s-parameters and two-port network analysis, and impedance matching. The second semester courseoffered in the spring is EEGR 444, Specialized Topics in Microwaves, builds upon EEGR 443and includes topics related to design methodologies on filters and amplifiers. These courses areprerequisites for advanced graduate coursework in RF Microwaves. Prior to 2008, the Department’s microwave courses offered had no laboratory componentto complement the theoretical understanding of concepts taught in the course lecture. As a result,students were not actively engaged in the learning process nor motivated to enroll in subsequentmicrowaves courses. Therefore, because they were not

Ward College of Technology at the University of HartfordAbstractThe process of transforming a word problem, the only kind in physics, to a mathematicalrepresentation of that problem uses several of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.Traditionally, only the verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences have beenemphasized. However, the authors have found that solving physics problems requires the

TheCalWomenTech Project‟s numbers on the recruitment and retention of technology students—both female and male—have been compiled by an external evaluator.The Project has worked with the CalWomenTech colleges to distribute two surveys to thetargeted female technology students that ask them what recruitment and retention strategies theyhave experienced, which ones they find helpful, and which strategies they would like toexperience more (2009 survey n=60, 2010 repeat survey n=43). The results from these surveyshave allowed the colleges to see what strategies take the fewest resources and yield the highestreturn for their students. Most of the strategies female students indicate have been most helpfulto

The framework was used extensivelywhen structuring assessment, both on program assessment and classroom assessment. Forexample, the framework was used as a framing concept in evaluating young children’s work15 and in making sense of complex assessment 16. Cognition refers to beliefs about how students learn 14.

Taguchi method is implemented generally in four steps as follows:1. Brainstorm the quality characteristics and design parameters important to the product or process.2. Design and conduct the experiments.3. Analyze the results to determine the optimum conditions.4. Run confirmation test(s) using the optimum conditions.C. ExampleTo illustrate the basic working mechanics of the Taguchi Method, consider the followingexample2.In a plastic injection molding process, three controllable factors have been identified; each factorcan be applied at two levels as shown: Factors Level 1 Level 2 A.

Entrepreneurial mindset inour study is operationally defined as a more growth orientated mindset versus a fixed orientatedmindset. This operational definition and the accompanying mindset measurement instrument wasdeveloped and validated by Carol Dweck of Stanford University. Based on Dweck‟s researchresults we assume a growth mindset is a reasonable surrogate for a student engineer‟s creativeand innovative or
our thinking. Instead of permitting engineering educationto lag technology and society, “Should the engineering profession anticipate needed advancesand prepare for a future where it will provide more benefit to humankind?”[3]So the question becomes, how do we train engineers to be more entrepreneurially minded?What is an Entrepreneurially Minded Engineer? Page 22.244.2According to Dawn Tabat, Chief Operating Officer of Generac Power Systems (and a group ofthe company‟s engineering executives), Entrepreneurially Minded Engineers (EMEs) “act like aproduct manager within their engineering discipline”. In other words, “EMEs are not justworking on
on the inter-relationship between theory andpractical experimentation.It‟s commonly accepted that laboratory exercises are a critical component to developingengineering skills. Lab classes represent a significant portion of curricula of all engineeringdisciplines. Lab exercises in introductory courses are commonly designed to illustrate anddemonstrate known concepts or scientific laws. Students also learn practical skills associatedwith the measurements techniques and experience in the use of modern instrumentation. Othergoals of the lab experience are to sharpen observational skills, work in teams, and develop acapacity for independent learning by encouraging students to make self-directed inquires andexplorations.

traditional questions related to teacher effort andclassroom logistics. While the course evaluation form may be used in a variety of ways depending on theintentions of the instructor and the program with which s/he is associated, most instructorsidentify specific learning outcomes that should occur as a result of that particular course. No onecourse is expected to produced gains in all eleven a-k learning outcomes. Students rate theirdegree of learning along specified outcomes, marking “not applicable” on items not addressed inthe course. Instructors are given a semesterly report where they receive the averages of their classon these outcomes as well as more traditional measures of classroom effectiveness.

When the AI Lab was left as a shell ofits former self due to corporate rivalry, Richard decided to take things into his own hands andkeep his ideals alive by creating a new, UNIX-like operating system. Again, an act ofevolutionary selection ( a corporate raid) yielded innovation, and this innovation was based ontwo tactics often seen in evolutionary systems: mimicry and stigmergy. That GNU ( therecursively named operating system Stallman would develop out of his desire for a printerdriver) modeled itself on UNIX is not controversial, despite it‟s name: GNU‟s Not Unix. And
