Preparing your tenure dossier can be likened to acoach preparing a game plan. This plan will allow them to define and accomplish thenecessary objectives as well as portray their work in each of these areas in the best light.They should stick to the game plan and collect evidence along the way rather thanwaiting until the last year to collect and compile the evidence they need.

Hence, it was important that any material presented by the exchange faculty member would be relevant, be presented at the appropriate level for the student cohort and fit seemlessly into their course of study. For planning purposes, exchange timelines typically need to be agreed at least 2.5 months in advance. We found it appropriate and useful for the exchange faculty member from the partner institution to propose a list of possible topics where they believed they could bring particular value. Subsequently, we sought the advice and guidance of our overseas partner as to its suitability. In every case, this feedback proved useful in aligning the material appropriately for the cohort

In the process, students learned to use the design software AutodeskInventor to design the cases housing the circuit boards of the solar-powered chargers and thewands encasing LED circuits. The cases were then printed out on a three-dimensional printer.They also learned to design, construct, and test electronic circuits.

It was originally part of the U.S. Armory at Harpers Ferry and is situated between the Potomac River and the armory canal, whose original head gates still stand two miles upstream. The first building was a tilt hammer shop, constructed c.1830s, which was replaced by a rolling mill in 1854. Following John Brown's raid in 1859 and subsequent burning of the armory, Thomas Savery constructed a pulp mill on the site in 1888. The Harpers Ferry Paper Co. was powered by water from the armory canal, utilizing seven flume bays. In late 1898 plans were made to place a dynamo in the pulp mill to generate electricity for Harpers Ferry. Savery continued simultaneous operations of the

This testingprocess is included in the Engineering is Elementary units, although it does not appear in theirdiagram. The time concept came from Bailey’s original rubric.
