we could assiststudents with disabilities a priori by providing additional services, to now recognizing that wecan best support their success by listening and growing our understanding of how they use theirconsiderable assets to build their success. Through this recognition, we are able to retool our effortsto be individual student-focused. This new paradigm is an outgrowth of our internal research,which demonstrates that those practices based on our students’ assets best support their exceptionalachievement [1]. Through the intersection of curricular and co-curricular experiences that can besynthesized, transferred to new situations, and articulated for the student’s benefit, we developeda Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). This was part of

and the follower(F3 to 4 in Figure 4b) and is termed the “ transmission angle” of the four bar linkage. Thecomponent F3 to 4 sin(µ) is responsible for the motion of the follower. Therefore, a goodfour bar linkage design tries to keep the angle µ as high as possible (at least 45 degrees)throughout the rotation of the crank.After completing the first phase of the four bar mechanism design purely from kinematicconsiderations, two more solutions involving different link lengths that would satisfiedthe Grashof condition as well as the rocking angle of 45 degree were sought andobtained. Participants, then, used EXCEL and fundamental trigonometry to analyze thethree different solutions and identify the best solution using kinetic
Engineering Major at the US Air Force Academy.The Secretary’s goal was not only to create a core of officers who possess a systems-levelperspective for research, developmental engineering and acquisition of new systems, butto develop that same perspective among graduates who serve as Air Force pilots,operations officers and battle managers. Through the combined efforts of departments from the Engineering, BasicSciences and Social Science Divisions, the Academy’s Systems Engineering major wasestablished in 2003 with its first graduates to be commissioned in June 2006. Inrecognition of the importance of a discipline with a more managerial focus, the SystemsEngineering Management major was also created. These two academic programs share acore of

With a focus on intersectional/cross-culturalmentoring and its impact on matriculation from postdoctoral scholars to faculty members,especially those from underrepresented populations, the purpose of the postdoc program is tocreate well-rounded scholars versed in research, teaching, and service. From previous studies,one can identify that for postdocs to have a successful transition from postdoc to a facultymember, they must be supported through multiple mentors, have their identities

We have beenhosting a series of online practitioners’ workshops rather than the usual physical face-to-faceworkshop, because of the potential for wider and longer-term impact.

The expected outcomes of theworkshops were: 1) to share ideas, 2) examine challenges, 3) determine best practices, and 4)give feedback to NSF and to vendors who build the
