The absence of knowledge applications relegates the TCEP to simply a set ofacademic exercises with a much lesser value to the organization.Career development integration addresses the benefit to the employee. Learning is work. Andlearning to apply is even harder work. So there needs to be a reward system in place to providethe incentive to learn. One big incentive is an advanced degree.

Aftercompleting the breadboard exercises with LabVIEW and the USB DAQ, students wereintroduced to the Arduino 1.0 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and an Arduino Unomicrocontroller. As a high level programming language, students viewed the Arduino sketchesas easy to follow given a limited introduction in lecture and access to the Arduino website

Asstated by Daly and Bryan1; “Nanoscale science and engineering represents both the revolutionaryand evolutionary nature of science, and if we are to remain contemporary in our curriculum wemust design lessons focused in this area and find ways to successfully integrate this content intocurricula.” However, few teachers have the knowledge to incorporate NSE into their curriculumsince this field of knowledge is developing after they have left school themselves.

Second, it is not uncommon for sections of the same calculus courseto differ in pace and in the order of concepts covered, making it difficult to align the companion Page 23.275.2course content with a given calculus course. Lastly, student performance in paired courses ishighly correlated; thus, paired courses put students at risk—poor performance in multiplecourses will impact students’ financial aid and/or academic status.J.

Math as rote procedures can be a barrier toconceptual understanding in science. But math is the language of science and it explains criticalconceptual components of scientific ideas (e.g., the differences between constraints on area vs.constraints on volume, differences between linear and exponential growth).
