It requires an incremental approach that gradually introduces the necessaryconcepts within the context of the regular school schedule.3.1 Year-One SummaryInvolving the High School Teacher(s)Our partnership began in the summer proceeding the placement of the STEP Fellow in CedarGrove High School. The high school physics teacher, Mr. Michael Pastirik, sat in on the summersession of the Georgia Tech mechatronics course.

decision hierarchy within the legal domain as is illustratedin Figure 2.3.1.1. Statutes and RegulationsStatutes are laws passed by federal and state legislative bodies. Federal and state agenciesformulate regulations to objectify the statute. Regulations have the same legal impact as statutes.One must always adhere to statutes and regulations. Regulations codify many things thatprofessionals can do and cannot do.Many regulations governing public procurement have been written to make unethical behaviorillegal. An example of regulations on ethical behavior is illustrated by the case of U. S. ArmyCorps of Engineers vs. Swensen [11]. The issues involved bribery collusion, and otherreprehensible actions

When extra study is arranged, Chinese students must attend.Although a small percentage of Chinese youth are successfully accepted into the finite number ofnational colleges, almost every parental pair saves without fail to be able to fund the child’sadvanced education. Since wages are low in comparison to other oriental cultures (ex: Japan),both parents must work to be able to afford food and education for the child. Usually a Chinesecouple has only one child due to a law passed in the late 1970’s that allowed each family onlyone child without penalty. The reason: to curb a rapidly rising population before the countrycould no longer support its own peoples’ needs. If

Most of the evaluations were 4’s and 5’s each week. Theclass instructors responded to the questions and comments at the beginning of the next class.Toward the end of the semester, as their questions were answered, there were fewer and fewerquestions on the evaluation sheets.The NACME fall 2004 class was held in a classroom the entire semester for the second cohort ofNACME students.

If the syntax cannot beunderstood by the system, the user must fix the offending expression(s) before the module willbe graded. After the answers are graded, the computer shows the student which problems werecorrect or incorrect and provides a total score for the module. Detailed instructions for problemsolutions (i.e., worked problems) are provided if desired. A student can repeat a module as manytimes as desired before the due date, although new problems are generated with each repeatedmodule. The highest score received is stored in the database as the final homework grade. Formost modules, a student does not need to repeat
