efforts of having students emailing spreadsheets with pre-defined templates (because ofthe live interactive nature of Google Sheets), the lack of anonymity of individuals and groupswas viewed as a significant drawback.The “Importrange” function built into Google Sheets allows defined information to be passedfrom one spreadsheet to another, allowing the sheet creator (in this case, the instructor) to specifythe workflow of information. Google Sheets also allows the “owner” to turn on and off sharingof worksheets (Figure 1). Using these two features, an instructor can create an individualworksheet for each student, where the information from each is consolidated into a singleinstructor worksheet that only that person can view (Figure 2 and 3

Learner Centered instruction is defined by the American Psychological Association ascomprising a set of cogntive and metacognitive factors, motivational and affective factors,developmental and social factors, and individual differences (see Table 1) 1. It is assumed,generally, that to be learner centered, pedagogies need to simultaneously address key concepts,skills, and dispositions in a domain, and

These programs have proven to belargely successful in achieving the desired ends and are often very popular with the student body;however, it has also been found that a significant portion of students (~20% or more) may stillstruggle when leaving these freshman environments and entering the more traditionalengineering courses later in their curriculum 2, 5.

This RF power harvester could be added to a circuit with a 50Ω antenna inorder to power a low power circuit. The device will always need to have a source for RFenergy to harvest from which could be a Wi-Fi router, a cellphone tower placed in theproximity of the RF energy harvester, or simply a place with high RF traffic. The main idea of this project is to create an environmental wireless sensor network(WSN), which is powered by an RF energy receiver.

Cultural models are internalized cognitive schemas that individuals within a cultureshare to varying degrees and draw upon to form and organize their beliefs, meanings, andpractices.1 Social capital is refers to the social connections of students and the resourcesavailable through those connections. To examine these concepts, it is important to understandtheir meaning as interpreted by individuals who are members of a particular culture.
