demonstrating engineering principles byreverse engineering the human body. The chocolate experiment was designed to fit intothis curriculum and generalize some of the topics being covered in each section. In thebeer brewing modules, student teams discuss packaging, marketing, and GMPs. In thehuman body modules, student teams study metabolism, work, and mass transferprinciples as they relate to the human body. Students found the chocolate experiment a“fun and exciting” introduction to food processing. The discussion of chocolateprocessing was lively and focused, and students showed a genuine interest in how food ismanufactured.References[1] S. Farrell, R. Hesketh, and C. S.

Where three scored problems in a common areaare assigned, the effect of voluntary un-scored practice is not enough to improve performance ona fourth scored problem, for which no practice is provided, regardless of how practice is 11provided. Given the voluntary nature of the practice problems studied here, and the ease withwhich they can be provided with systems such as PathFinder, their use is recommended,especially related practice problems. Future work can focus on more difficult problems. Studentscan be directly asked why they do or do not use practice problems.References1 Bonham, S. W., Deardorff, D. L., & Beichner, R. J. (2003).

This is the first time that the TLC partnered with a local organization. Another lesson learned from this experience was to look locally, beyond the university, to find resources relevant to faculty. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the training and the presenters and would not hesitate to work with them again for other relevant programming. Bibliography[1] S. Cutler and A. Coso

Feelings of safety to be oneself, community, and sharedopportunities play a role in this contribution [17]. In their work on the social networks ofLGBTQ+ STEM students, Hughes et al.

Introduction Acoustic underwater communications are governed by three factors: limited bandwidth,time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound in water [1] and [2]. In underwaterenvironments, radio waves do not propagate well due to above environmental conditions soacoustic channels are employed. The propagation speed of acoustic signals in water is about1.5x103 m/s, five orders of magnitude lower than the radio

To promote effective preparation, an article had to be chosen each week andstudents needed to read the article prior to the in-class discussion. The Gatherer student chose the article and posted it to Moodle (course managementsoftware) by the established deadline of 3 days prior to the in-class discussion. S/he also postedan 8-12 sentence summary of the article prior to the in-class discussion.
