Overall, these findings add tothe growing conversation inclusive classroom environments, that make more explicit connectionbetween youths’ out of school knowledge and practices in school settings.Works Cited[1] S.

However, the missing need is having a resource, such as externalvalidators and teaching assistants, effectively assess and ensure students’ properapplication of engineering concepts are applied.Research conducted in the 1990’s suggests that active teaching by the instructorwill increase student engagement, which results in a better understanding ofmaterial6. Other studies performed show that active teaching compared to atraditional style of teaching results in higher grade point averages7.

Students were asked to verbalize what theywere doing as they took the practical examination and, if necessary, were prompted by the TA.Coding is currently being developed to analyze these videos.The second technician aspect students were trained in was analyzing and graphing acquired data.Students were shown how to upload data from the test instrumentation to LabView then exportthis data to Matlab. Data was presented in the form of Smith charts, and graphs of S parameters.Students were also shown how to distinguish theoretical from measured data. The measurementsperformed by students and data presentation assignments were designed to illustrate limitationsof the measurement instrumentation. Specific data analysis tasks
temperature probe provides an exponential curve (Newton’s law of cooling), the displacement of a falling ball onto the motion detector provides a power (quadratic) function and the force sensor can be exited linearly.Three sensors (i.e., temperature, force, and motion detection) are used to develop this activity.The system setup and LabVIEW output are shown in Figures 3 and 4, respectively.Figure 3.

Using the brief description that Industrial Engineersimprove processes, students were taught to think of equations as models for processes. Theindependent variable(s) is (are) the input(s) to the process and the dependent variable(s) is (are)the output(s) from the process.Systems of linear equations, matrices, and truth tables from discrete mathematics were taught tohelp prepare students for the computer programming courses and the linear algebra course taughtby the Mathematics department. Both of these courses were prerequisites for the first operationsresearch course taught in the Industrial Engineering degree program. It was emphasized thatlinear programming was mathematical

Courses were developed that focus on methods to minimizeor prevent waste streams from existing chemical plants in the 1990’s. The educationalprogression mirrors the progression in industry. In industry initial efforts were applied to wastetreatment whereas current efforts are aimed at reducing the total volume of effluent treated aswell as the nature of the chemicals treated. Currently, many of the environmental and pollutionprevention courses have been replaced by courses in green engineering

Students are also required to arrange aweekly meeting with their faculty advisor(s) to report their project progress and discuss theirplans throughout the semester. As the semester progress, students will submit a mid-term reportand present orally their advancement towards the goals outlined. At the end of the first semester,students will give an oral presentation and submit a report to include the following details of theproject. • Complete design

volume of waterwith solid body rotation can be shown to be ω 2 R14 h0 (3RR12 − R3 − 2R13 ) V = π[h1 R12 + + ] (2) 4g 3(R0 − R)where h1 (m) is the height of the water at the center of the frustum, ω (rad/s) is the angularvelocity, g (m/s2 ) is the acceleration due to gravity, and R1 (m) is the radius at the highestpoint of water. With the volume of water without rotation being the same as the volume ofwater with rotation (non-filtering assumption), the volume equation with rotation can beequated to the volume equation without rotation. With this, the resulting equation can
, skills, and practices ofstudents while creating bridges to engineering and classroom experiences. It is alsocomprehensive because the goal is to improve academic achievement while helping studentsmaintain their identity, connect to their communities, develop a sense of shared responsibility,share their “sensibilities,” and develop critical consciousness. Through a rasquache approach,students will see themselves and their communities in a curriculum that is empowering,transformative, and liberating. The goal would be to replace individualistic perspectives withmore cooperative and active roles from the students and teachers.References[1] J. S. Passel, D. V. Cohn, and M. H.
