With the advances of technology and digital media, the course could be student-paced. The instructor can provide lectures in video format. Students can visit and revisit thesevideo as many times as they want and whenever and wherever they want.References[1] Guskey, T. R. (2005). Formative Classroom Assessment and Benjamin S.

was participating in a group noted that he wanted to be aware of the various approachesinstructors were using even if he would not be likely to adopt them himself. Three instructorswere motivated by sharing their experiences and expertise to motivate others to adopt research-based practices. Two of the groups included graduate students who served as the primaryinstructors for either a lecture course or a laboratory. Nearly unanimously, graduate-studentparticipants described plans to pursue an academic career and cited participation in the teachingdevelopment group as a way to prepare for the teaching aspects of that career. Some graduate-student participants planned to pursue teaching-focused academic positions; others wereinterested in

Transform Teaching and Learning: Improved retention as a result of expanding our undergraduate teaching assistance (UTA) programs and institutionalizing a formal UTA training pedagogy. A working knowledge in best practices will enable UTAs to be both effective and engaging in the laboratory and/or classroom. 2. Increase Faculty and Student Interactions: Improved retention as a result of implementing university-wide and discipline-specific (intentional) community building activities that foster STEM students’ sense of identification with STEM departments.PRIMES conceptual framework was designed around three groups that intersect: STEM faculty,STEM undergraduates, and STEM Undergraduate Teaching

The system was originally modeled in VHDL and was simulated usingXilinx design tools to demonstrate operation of the processor. The design model can also besynthesized and implemented in hardware on a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The goalof this project was to translate the Instructional Processor into the Verilog hardware descriptionlanguage, while maintaining the same operational characteristics.VHDL and Verilog are IEEE standard languages used for the

Before he started at UIUC he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on a project that aimed at a description of non-adiabatic electron ion dynamics. His research revolves around excited electronic states and their dynamics in various materials using accurate computational methods and making use of modern super computers in order to understand, for instance, how light is absorbed in photo-voltaic materials. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Measuring Student Learning of Crystal Structures

The second theme describes how students perceive facultyteaching approaches within their departments, again with two emergent dimensions: traditionalversus contemporary and prescribed versus open-ended. The traditional versus contemporarydimension focuses on the pedagogical practices used in non-laboratory and laboratory courses.Traditional approaches are those considered prototypical of engineering. For example, studentsdescribing traditional approaches talk about classes dominated by lectures in which students arerequired to take notes or read PowerPoint ® slides, and course assessments consist mostly ofindividual assignments and quizzes.
