Furthermore, the study will be replicated with alarger number of data points to compare very small class sizes to significantly large ones.References1. Whitehurst, G. J., Chingos, M.

that the position data is correct they are asked to use thecode to collect position and time data for a cart moving on a horizontal track. The carts are fairlylow friction and students expect to find a linear relationship between the position and time. Thisproject has been run with 4 laboratory sections (20 different lab groups of 3-4 students) over twospring semesters. Each year one lab group has used the 0.25 s delay between acquisitions as the∆t to build their position vs. time graphs. This produces very good results for a cart that is givena speed of around 0.5 m/s. The rest of the lab groups have relied on the default time variable,Duration, output by the starter sketch, see Fig. (4). This output produces a plot of position vs.time that
car and hallway used for testing are shown in Figure 4. During the test, thecar is placed in various lateral starting positions and orientations on one end of the hallway. Thehallway used for testing is 7.5 feet wide by 43 feet long. When the car started with a clear viewof both sides of the hallway, it was able to stay close to the center of the hallway most of thetime. However, sometimes the car would travel in an S or zig-zag pattern, by overcorrecting inone direction and then overcorrecting again in the opposite direction about the center of lane.The zig-zagging resulted in lateral deviations of up to 1 foot on either side of the center of lane,and crossing the center of lane up to 13 times while traveling down the hallway.

Program was originally founded through the Center for EnergyEfficient Electronics Science, and has since branched to multiple disciplines includedbiotechnology and robotics. TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics
“professional socialization,” acquisition of workplace skillsand attitudes needed for recent graduates to develop successful professional careers [1].Improving these skills may also influence student persistence toward an engineering degree.Student attitudes toward engineering have been identified as playing an important role inpersistence decisions [2]. Specifically, student perceptions of engineering as they relate to futurecareer success are strong predictors of student persistence [3]. Assisting students to developprofessional skills and establish connections to the workplace while still in school may assistthem to complete their degrees and to achieve better success through their workplace transition.In Hull-Blank et al.’s study on the career self

teaching style. According to Ruutmann and Kipper(2013), most engineering students fall under the active, sensing, visual, and sequential. However,most engineering educators use teaching methods best received by intuitive, verbal, passive (orreflective), and sequential learners (Ruutmann & Kipper, 2013).

AnalysisThe objective of the second assignment was to apply basic engineering principles of problemdefinition to their system of choice. The assignment goals were to define a system process andrelated variables and identify gaps in the knowledge through a Degrees of Freedom analysis.Students were required to: 1. Sketch your Chesapeake Bay system. 2. Define processes (splitting, mixing, reactions, etc.) and show the streams entering and exiting your process(es). 3. Define and show the variables associated with your processes. 4. Set up a Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) analysis of your system. Determine the variable(s) you will need to calculate (solve for). 5. Determine how many variables will you need to define through research in order

Identifying Outreach DetailsBefore jumping into activity development, it is important to understand the details of the event.The desired objective(s), location, time frame, budget, number of participants, and participants’age range are all important pieces of information required to shape an effective and appropriateactivity.[13] Misunderstanding or misinterpreting any of these details could produce anineffective activity that squanders resources and provide an inadequate experience forparticipants.
