2018This semester has a total of 16 A’s for the group grade and 15 A’s for the individual grade,meaning that more students contributed equally in their groups. There are no grades lower than aC this semester, both with the group and individual grades. The reason for this improvement ingrade distribution from the Spring 2018 semester most likely relates to the lecture timing in thecurriculum as well as emphasizing the importance of the peer evaluation during the assignmentdate. These factors will be taken into consideration during the Spring 2019 analysis. Overall,more students received A’s and B’s in the Fall 2018 semester than the Spring 2018 semesterbecause of the improvement to the lecture content.The questionnaire is an ungraded assignment

training inthe Midwest region, which is heavily dependent on manufacturing, have led to the proposal toestablish a photonics education center in the Midwest.A group of stakeholders including 16 photonics industry representatives, five educators, and twoOP-TEC representatives originally met in 2010 and formed a Midwest photonics cluster. As aresult of this meeting, new partnerships were formed and plans were made to move forward withthe pursuit of a regional center. In 2011, a planning grant (NSF Award #1104083) was receivedand utilized to develop the foundation for the creation of the Midwest Photonics EducationCenter (MPEC). The work of the planning grant included identifying additional educationalinstitutions, partnering with OP-TEC on a

every semester, etc.For the EET 223-Digital Electronics, the author of this paper made changes only in the theoryclass, being assigned to teach this class only two times in the last three years. Changes in thiscourse are in work and they are coordinated by another instructor in the EET department. In thetheory course, more time was spent on sequential circuits and timing diagrams and less time onreviewing combinational circuits and the specific characteristics of combinational and sequentialcircuits from the 74HC xx and 74SNxx series.In the second part of the course, the electrical DC and AC characteristics of CMOS family werecovered, emphasizing concepts such as low power dissipation, noise margin, rise time, falltime, ground bounce, reading

Inthis regard, 68% of the faculty members surveyed are willing to be observed in class and receivefeedback from these observations in order to improve their practice. In addition, future researchwill also involve the development of a set of faculty competencies in order to align training efforts.REFERENCES[1] J. H. G. Zamora and A. B.

The samesemester, the lead author designed a quasi-experimental study for testing this hypothesis.Another instructor of this course agreed on using his two sections as a control group.Instead of using traditional instruction, the lead author implemented PI in his section, and itwas used as the experimental group. The translated DIRECT test was applied to bothgroups before and after the topic of DC circuits analysis was covered.

Tools.Piezoelectric ChargingPiezoelectric energy was experimentally discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie in the 1880s.They discovered that when mechanical stress is applied to certain materials, charges are displaced,and materials produce voltage under mechanical stress.3 We harness the energy of human walkingmovement by placing piezoelectric elements under the foot so that energy is produced with eachstep.When mechanical strain is applied to the piezoelectric elements, the crystals produce alternatingcurrent (AC). For a battery to charge, it requires direct current (DC). We used rectifying circuit sothat the current can only flow away from the piezoelectrics.4Furthermore, because the mechanical strain of walking does not provide constant pressure
