something more basic that I had to impart to mystudents. It was then that I gave a seminar on Managing Money.At the beginning of the seminar I said there were two questions that I wanted to ask, the firstquestion was how many of you think you have enough money. The second question was whydon’t you have enough Money? Then I saidLet E be the amount you earnLet S be the amount you spend Page 15.852.3If what you earn is greater than what you spend, you will always have money!

students’conceptual understanding as they explore and make sense of phenomena on their own terms.Relevant education courses provide the theoretical underpinnings of inquiry teaching andlearning, and the re-design of engineering course curricula from traditional lecture to problem-based learning (a form of inquiry) provides the practice of the theory. This theory-informs-practice model provides future teacher-engineers with the knowledge and experience to teach insuch a manner that both engages K-12 students in their learning and exciting them aboutengineering as a career option.AAAS, American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The machine(s) must not be labor intensive, time consuming to operate, complicated to learn, or unsafe for laymen. These machine(s) will be located in the UI Music Department and used by a community of faculty and student bassoonists. The device(s) should not compromise the quality of gouged reeds produced by the current method. Ideally, the device(s) could lead to patent opportunities, and possibly the removal of the pre-gouging step. The Device(s) Must: Produce gouged reeds 120 mm in length

in appropriate subsequent analyses. From the Y2 data, we observed no significantdifferences at the 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) between any student sections’cumulative pre-test score, and thus, we include this data in the appropriate analyses in Section 4. When looking atindividual parts of the pre-test, however, we did find a significant difference between section 1 andsection 4 on the Lab 5 portion of the pre-test (p-value = 0.04), with section 4 having a significantlylower average on this portion of the material. Because of this, student section 4’s data was omittedin the Lab 5 analyses for Y2. 4 Results 4.1 Educational Benefit from Course The first question we sought to answer was whether or not the students learned and

The lock was used to raise and lower canal boatsbetween two segments of the Enlarged Erie Canal. Lock 23 was the first lock west ofSchenectady, NY and the busiest lock on the canal. The locks were built in the 1840’s andexpanded in the 1880’s. The 1840’s lock chambers are 20 feet deep, 17 feet wide and 110 feetlong with a 20 foot wide “island” separating the locks.
