fields that comprise pre-secondaryinstruction. This can limit their understanding of STEM content. Fellows offer rich contentknowledge in their fields. Fellows benefit from being in the classroom by developing moreeffective communication and teaching skills.2 This experience strengthens fellows’ abilities tocommunicate in research teams and prepares future Ph.D.’s to offer effective college instruction.It has also been found that classrooms with a fellow report more positive attitudes with respect toscience than those that did not have a fellow by the end of the year.4Grade Level Adaptions Fellows have many opportunities to implement the lesson plans that are presented at theworkshop or that they themselves create with partner teachers

gain diminishing to its minimum value at the adjacent antenna’sboresight.Figure 6 depicts the matched antenna gain patterns with the incident radar signal added. Thisgives two different received powers: P1dBm at receiver 1 (connected to antenna 1), and P2dBm at Figure 6: Antenna pair with incident radar signalreceiver/antenna 2. Look carefully at Figure 6. Note that the difference between the tworeceived powers varies linearly with the angle off of boresight, from a maximum of AdB_BS at 0°(antenna 1’s boresight) to a minimum of 0 dB at 45°. (Beyond that the arrival angle is closer toantenna 2, so all of the following calculations would be reversed and worked with respect toantenna 2 instead of Antenna 1.) It is this

Student designs will comply with a realistic level of engineering codes and standards and shall include considerations such as environment, economics, manufacturability, sustainability, health and safety.There are a variety of options when it comes to teaching both design process and the actualcapstone course(s).5 Some schools have a separate course in design methods.6, 7, 8, 9 This wouldthen be followed by either a one or two semester capstone course. Other schools integrate theinstruction in design methods or processes into the one or two semester capstone experience.10As previously mentioned, this may be the first time that students have been exposed to a

In some casesit may be possible to study the real system and to modify it to observe any change in the systemoutput(s), for example, examining the impact of increasing the number of automated check-inkiosks on reducing passengers’ waiting time in airports [2]. However, in some other situations, forinstance, in emergency rooms, it is not an appropriate approach to make changes in the system.Simulation courses have been part of the Industrial Engineering curriculum since the 90’s.Simulation courses have been offered in traditional Industrial

The major cause was lack ofresources and awareness which eventually resulted in absence of defined career path neither inacademia nor in industry. The situation is changing now with a positive rate. However, there stillis only a small fraction of students opting for this field in their undergraduate studies. This hasposed a challenge to academia to introduce students of different background to thismultidisciplinary field. A new introductory course for undergraduate ECE students was neededespecially. Several courses are offered at various institutes for non-biomedical students; howevera single course covering the breadth of this field without going

The data are analyzed via hypothesis coding that was constructedusing the seven Dimensions of Learning Power from Deakin Crick et al.’s (2004) EffectiveLifelong Learning Inventory (ELLI)6, and the emergent codes of Becoming an engineer andAppreciation for lifelong learning. Through this pilot study, which has serendipitously emergedfrom these data, we propose to explore both the capacity and

the flipped course in this study, the due dates for allhomework and the dates for all quizzes were established at the beginning of the semester. When the sameinstructor taught using the lecture-based approach, the pace was not as predictable. This may lead toconfusion about what is expected in the course. It is the author’s (and Instructor 1’s) opinion that thisincrease in organization of the course is one of the main benefits of the flipped classroom.Finally, we found that, given the same instructor, the averages are higher for the Involvement subscale(2.85 vs. 2.44). Involvement is an indicator of active learning as it measure how involved the students arein their own learning. This is confirmation that a flipped classroom will increase
