applicants to M-C,twenty-two were accepted to the M-C 2019 Cohort. During a blind review of applicants, one ofthe KS HSIs placed at the top of the M-C applicant ranking and the other placed mid-range.Moving forward, KS plans to set the expectation for transitioning to M-C for ATE proposaldevelopment at the beginning of new Cohorts. KS will also more proactively recommend thateligible candidates attend the M-C orientation webinar and have M-C leaders speak at KS CohortMeeting(s) to describe the opportunity.In 2018, a pilot was conducted with one KS college participating in the M-C 2018 Cohort.

Engineering program was conducted.II. IntroductionIn the early 2000’s, forecasters believed the United States was on the verge of a nuclearrenaissance. Tremendous growth in the energy industry was expected at that time since theaverage age of the nuclear power sector was 48 years of age which ranked among the oldest inany US industry 1. Many colleges and universities geared up new programs with help fromfederal agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department ofEnergy (DOE). Over 40 college programs across the country were developed to create a pipelineto help fill the shortage of workers 2. The majority of the programs were two-year Associatedegree programs designed for entry level positions in nuclear fields. At that

She teaches courses in both Industrial and Mechanical Engineering at SAU, focusing in Engineering Graphics, Manufacturing, the Engineering Sciences, and Design. She was recently the PI of an NSF S-STEM grant to recruit rural stu- dents from Iowa and Illinois into STEM. Dr. Prosise mentors the collegiate chapter of SWE and organizes many outreach events encourage girls to go into STEM. She leads a study-abroad trip for engineering students to Brazil every-other-year, where students design, build, and implement assistive technologies for people with disabilities. Her research focus is to develop

First, faculty partners identify theSLO that most closely aligns with their course learning objectives. They agree to createan assessment for that SLO in their course through an assignment aligned closely with therubric (exam question(s), project, assignment, etc.) that they can easily share with SLSCenter. A Center staff member meets with each faculty partner to review the assignmentand ensure that it will work well with the rubric. Student work products for multiplecourses aligned with a particular SLO are then scored by a team of SLS staff and facultypartners collaboratively, using the rubric (faculty do not score the work of their

For these reasons, and because the LSI has not really been used inthis area, we have decided to adopt the LSI as the learning style assessment tool.2.5 Criticism of cognition and learning stylesWang and others looked into the correlation between Biggs’ constructive alignment and how itaffected students’ learning approaches.

Digital techniques were introduced in 1993 to accommodate the hugeboom in subscribers of portable telephone service in the mid 90’s. Cellular communicationssystems evolved from providing voice in the mid 90’s (2nd generation or 2G) to all-IP dataservices that are available since 2011 (4G). Advanced mobile broadband and real-time controlwill be enabled by future 5G systems. Wireless systems that provide personal andmachine-to-machine communications currently constitute a major research area of vitalimportance.Telecommunication
