are then subsequently developed by thestudent(s) that submitted the idea. The most common occurrence of this is a group ofstudents that are seeking funding for their senior design project. In this case, the studentsare overseen by faculty, although they still report to Engenius Solutions and must fulfillrequirements that Engenius Solutions has above those of the student’s course. In the casethat the accepted idea was proposed by an inventor outside of Rose-Hulman, the BusinessManager will begin by soliciting applications from students to work on a specific project.Interviews will be conducted with students who apply and the team will be selected at thecompletion of interviews.

teaching strategies that appeal to a larger sample of theengineering student population and in turn contributes to better retention rates. This studyinvestigates the use of a multifaceted teaching strategy designed to enhance learning, satisfactionand, ultimately, success in a basic core engineering class. This paper explores the relationshipbetween this instructional technique and the broad spectrum of learning styles. The studyexamines the correlation between the student reported learning style preferences, satisfaction,and success in the course.Why Are Learning Styles a Hot Topic in Engineering Education?The paradigm shift in the 1950’s from a more hands-on approach to engineering education to amore theoretical approach has resulted in graduate

However, only 291 of the 351 communities hadavailable data on their recycling rates while data for only 335 could be found regardingtheir use of curb-side versus drop-off recycling participation.In addition to these characteristics, communities are separated into one of seven kinds ofcommunity (as described by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue). Kinds ofCommunity (KOC) are • Urbanized Center (KOC 1) • Economically Developed Suburb (KOC 2) • Growth Community (KOC 3) • Residential Suburb (KOC 4) • Rural Economic Center (KOC 5) • Small Rural Community (KOC 6) • Resort, Retirement, Artistic (KOC 7)These various parameters were used in
conclusions and recommendations for the features that ought to be included in a URPexperience to ensure its success.2.0 Literature ReviewThe idea of a “URP experience” can be traced back to about 1980 when the University ofDelaware introduced an undergraduate research project option [15, 16]. Of course,undergraduates have always worked with professors on research, but the notion of a “URP”made these experiences a more formal and visible part of the undergraduate educational process(as well as the research environment). In part, this new stature was related to the NationalScience Foundation’s (NSF) decision in the late 1980’s to have principal investigators (PI)include an “educational” element in their proposals. NSF also encouraged PI’s to apply for

The melt-spinning procedure involves melting the startingelements, iron, zirconium, boron, and copper, then pushing the molten sample through an orificeso that it lands onto a spinning copper wheel, as shown in Fig. 1. Once the sample hits thesurface of the cold, copper wheel, it is quickly pulled off in the form of thin, long ribbons. Thelarge change in temperature, i.e. from being above melting temperature to being solidified andcooled at room temperature, facilitates the metastable, amorphous nature of the ribbon produced.The students

self-sufficiency of the presentation.A second improvement is to add quizzes and pre/post-tests designed to add the contentnavigation and check the users’ understanding of the studied material. Indeed, because thehierarchical learning networks are designed to be used with limited content support, it isimportant to have built-in self-tests and checks for understanding. If possible we will design foreach module a ‘questions from the public’ database as well as an on-line forum of present andpast students. We also need to add ‘open question’ sections, to describe the unsolved challengesconnected to the presented material.References1. Goldin, Daniel S., Venneri, Samuel L and Noor Ahmed K.
