Q insulation=3,623 kJwhich is a rather large number compared to the other heat sources considered above. Uponfurther reflection, one should realize that even when the refrigerator is unused, as long as it isplugged in, it will consume electricity (i.e., compressor will run) throughout the day and night,and imperfect insulation is, largely, to blame.Others: All other heat source contributions may be lumped into an arbitrary constant without theneed for in-depth analysis. For simplicity, it is assumed zero.Putting everything together, rounding up to the nearest integer, the actual COP is Q c Q food +Q opening+Qinsulation+Qothers 898+10+3623 4531 COP actual

Design-Build-Test-Communicate ClassIntroductionIn the following paper, we describe our initial experiences in replacing the detailed analyticrubrics used for assessment in our team-taught first-year engineering technical andcommunication course with a holistic rubric. We address the issues we identified with theanalytic rubrics we had been using, the holistic rubric we developed to address these issues, andthe preliminary understandings we’ve developed--through our own reflections and an informalonline survey of our students--of the impact of this change on our teaching and our students’experiences in the course.Rubrics are frequently used to convey assessment criteria to students; their use in post-secondaryeducation has been shown to have

Additionally, students documented andcommunicated their experiences through a written final report and presentation. Bothrequirements allow students to reflect on the project, making activity, and better understandwhere there was room for improvement. Unsurprisingly, the largest point of reflection is toavoid procrastination.In the surveys, students reported exploring more than one engineering discipline during theproject with exposure to Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical being the most common majorsreported.

From an evaluative standpoint, students were given a survey both pre and post travel,which included questions on their perception of their global aptitude (or awareness) and howwell prepared the students felt from a cultural and technical standpoint (post survey only) (Table1). A Likert scale was used as follows: “Strongly disagree” (1), “Somewhat disagree” (2),“Neither agree nor disagree” (3), “Somewhat agree” (4), “Strongly agree” (5). Students alsocompleted journal entries approximately twice a week reflecting on their cultural experiences,technical and research progress, and any other topics they found important. These journals actedas a method to reflect on all experiences while abroad

The second phase was morequalitative, so we followed the eight “Big-Tent” criteria for excellent qualitative research37.For instance, to meet the “credibility” criteria, we extensively used the “member reflections”approach by sharing the interview transcripts and our results with the participants of ourstudy. The use of RTR, especially, allowed us to enhance the opportunities and the quality ofthe “member reflections” as our participants were highly engaged in reviewing and revisingthe transcripts and providing feedback on the analysis.

We address thisby presenting an alternate model that better reflects alternate pathways that currently exist andcould be better encouraged and supported through infrastructure and social means.A Traditional Model of a Faculty CareerA traditional engineering faculty career moves from high school, to a bachelors degree, to a PhDprogram and then into a tenure track position, followed by promotions to associate and fullprofessor and then eventually a happy retirement, perhaps with an emeritus position to maintainan active mind until death. This is shown in Figure 2. In attempting to follow the

Students use wax or parchment paper as a work surface (seeFigure 3). A piece of fabric, slightly larger than the finger or gripper, is placed on the worksurface and covered in Ecoflex. The silicone mixture should saturate the fabric (you can help itby spreading forcefully with a plastic knife) and evenly cover the area where the top half of therobot will sit. The top layer of liquid Ecoflex should be deep enough that there is good surfacecontact with the top of the gripper or finger—looking at an angle, the surface should be smoothand reflective, not pocked by
