In these situations, demonstrate one method in class and screencastthe other method(s).In a software skills-focused course, there is rarely time to cover all of the useful features thatstudents might find useful in the future. Screencasts demonstrating some of the advancedfeatures could be used as a resource for the more advanced students who desire an additionalchallenge above and beyond the basic material.Screencasts can help answer student questions outside of classScreencasts can be an effective method of answering student questions.

IPnetworks each month in 2016 1. The growing demands for bandwidth and capacity requirecontinuous upgrades in the optical communication network: the faster network speed (40Gb/s 100Gb/s 400Gb/s) and expanded network topologies (Long haul, Metropolitan, Access, Fiberto the Home). From the educational institutes’ standpoint, we must make sure that our graduateshave the knowledge and practical training to support the on-going changes. In response to these demands, the School of Engineering at Grand Valley State Universitydeveloped a three-credit senior elective course EGR458 “Introduction to Fiber Optics” in 2009 2.For the first two offerings, short active-learning exercises were supplemented for the lecture.Feedback from students showed that

Thediscussion of the philosophy and the intent of the sustainable design should be added in thelecture to help address the importance of the IBL in which some students may not realize. Moreactive learning activities should be included in the class time to help students get familiar witheach other and help build a better and stronger team with better communication.

providevery large offers may attract outstanding students who may have otherwise attended otherinstitutions, but changing which institutions the students attend may not increase the number ofunderrepresented students in the profession. In addition, the scholarship awards need to becomplemented with academic support programs so that students persist to graduation.In this paper, these ideas will be illustrated using results from a National Science Foundation(NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) projectthat targets students from underrepresented groups who have financial need, but do not qualifyfor university-level scholarships. The project provides scholarships of full in-state tuitionsupport for up to four
groups, (4) provideclassroom materials and activities the HS educators can use in their STEM content courses (e.g.logistics), and (5) increase their awareness of the professional opportunities in the coastal regionwith a variety of site visits (e.g. Huntington Ingalls Industries, Port of Gulfport). A sample K-12curriculum in logistics is summarized in Table 6.Table 6: Modules ObjectivesModule 1: Fundamentals Understand the impact of intermodal transportation in national economyof Intermodal Understand the concept of intermodalismTransportation Learn how to select the best mode/s of transportationModule 2: Panel Understand current state of art practice

: “Threshold concepts, once learned, are likely to bring together different aspects of the subject that previously did not appear, to the student, to be related3.” This is probably the most obvious connection this work due to the inherent need to apply fundamental principles of mathematics and science when solving complex engineering problems. For example, a statics problem may involve trigonometry, vector algebra, and Newton‟s second law of motion. Transformative: Threshold concepts are “akin to a portal, opening up a new and previously inaccessible way of thinking about something . . . it represents a transformed way of understanding, or interpreting, or viewing . . . without which the learner cannot
