Figure 4 shows the sequential steps duringthe test of predictions by using PMT phase. Figure 4. Sequence of the testing predictions by using PMTParticipants explained what they felt/observed using the PMT, and based on their observation-they were asked to confirm or change their answers from the prediction phase.

Circuit Design and thatboth engineering instructors reported applying the principles to other courses that they teach(outside of SOAR’s purview). We are also optimistic that these two courses are moving in theright direction as both instructors are methodically refining their redesign strategies, which theywill continue to implement this semester and in future semesters. Our goal is to continue ourefforts in both courses and hope to find the right formula for improving them – especially theDFW rate in Engineering Statics – as we move ahead with the project. We look forward toreporting our complete results at the conference in June as well the direction of futureengineering course redesign efforts at Temple University.ReferencesAmbrose, S. A

algae aquaculture systems with pumps, control, andsolar cells (Figures 4 through 8). The system is made out of clear acrylic plastic sheet (3 to 5mm thick). The sheet is cut with a Universal Laser Systems 40W CO2 laser using AutoCAD orSolidWorks source files. The acrylic is bonded with acrylic cement (Weldon 4052), but ingeneral, all adhesives and materials should be checked for toxicity to algae.The channel height (normal to incident sunlight) is about 1 cm. The widths of the channelsranges from 4 to 8 cm, and can be up to 1-2 m long. Flow rates range from 1 to 10 ml/s, whichcorresponds to a Reynolds Number of about 20 to 500, and a flow velocity of 1 cm/s, indicatinglaminar flow.

I generally served as facilitator, rather than a deliberateguide in these discussions, making sure students felt comfortable and had a chance to have theiropinions heard, but not explicitly directing the discussion (Jacquez et al., 2007).Along with the in-class SGMA materials, each weekly homework assignment included a SGMA-specific question, as did the midterm(s) and final exams. As shown in Table 2, these individualassignments also progressed through the Bloom’s Taxonomy hierarchy. They were generallymore open-ended than the typical homework problems (Jacquez et al., 2007) and incorporateduncertainties or

Teacher participants were selected based on the quality of a statement of their interest inconducting research and participating in professional development, letters of recommendationfrom their principals, years of in-service teaching, the demographics of the students that theyteach, and the science subject(s) they teach. There were 11 teachers in the first cohort: 4 teacherswho participated in the program at TU and 7 teachers who participated at PU. Once the teachers had been accepted into the program, they were introduced (virtually) totheir resesearch advisors, with the intent of having some preliminary discussion about projectsahead of their arrival on campus. These discussions began about six weeks prior to the start ofthe on-campus

Assigned on the first day of class anddue in just one week, students work feverishly to design and build some sort of chair or stool.Upon showing their designs proudly to the instructor, they are surprised to hear that they have allmade a crucial mistake. It is rare for any of the students to visit the instructor’s office or ask theinstructor or any students questions about what s/he wants in seating (i.e., they do not talk tousers or the client). While there are certainly barriers to a first-year student going to aninstructor’s office (e.g., it can be intimidating, they not be familiar with

Frequently,students were able to leave those sessions knowing if their work that day met the standard or ifthey would need a third attempt. Between a first and second attempt, students were left to theirown devices to determine how to remediate their understanding. They were welcome to seekextra instruction, but not required to do so. Between the second and third attempt, however, theywere required to discuss their particular issues with the instructor before continuing the examcycle.
