Before 1994, Dr. Lester worked as an engineer for the General Electric Electronics Laboratory in Syracuse, New York for 6 years where he worked on transistors for mm-wave applications. There in 1986 he co-invented the first Pseudomorphic HEMT, a device that was later highlighted in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest transistor. By 1991 as a PhD student at Cornell, he researched and developed the first strained

In 2018, the Hagfors Center for Science,Business & Religion opened, providing enhanced classrooms to support active learning andexpanded laboratory space to support undergraduate research. About 35-40 full-timeundergraduate research slots within the STEM disciplines are funded through Augsburg’s officeof undergraduate research and a TRiO McNair Scholars program each summer. Over the last fiveyears, nine new tenure-track STEM faculty were hired, increasing the capacity to mentorundergraduate researchers.1.3 The AugSTEM Scholars ProgramAugsburg has received two awards

In order to accom-plish this goal at the University of Pittsburgh, we are pursuing two main research routes: MEAsas teaching tools and MEA as learning assessment tools. Under

together and leveraging the research team’s expertise in civil engineering, engineeringeducation, and communication. We are focusing on the immediate need for improved, readily-transferrable techniques for the incorporation of technical writing in engineering courses, mosttypically at the sophomore and junior levels. The premise with selecting the sophomore andjunior levels is that most programs “bookend” technical writing in some fashion, with freshman-level design courses and senior-level capstone courses often being more project-based andalready involving substantial writing. In contrast, the sophomore and junior levels tend not toinclude much writing beyond formatted laboratory reports, although with resource limitationseven these reports have

In theteamwork, students took different roles in different tasks. Students’ grades were determined byboth their individual and group work. Bohorquez and Toft-Nielsen employed collaborativelearning in a problem-oriented medical electronics laboratory to develop biomedical engineeringstudents' expertise and self-efficacy 8. In their collaborative learning, students were assigned withspecific course-related projects and required to work collaboratively with their team members.They were also required to co-tutoring each other and switch role assignments in differentprojects.
