So many K-16 laboratory activities tend to explore a single dependentvariable as the independent variable in changed. Then students address the question: “Whaterrors influence your results?” This is an important question to address; however, novicelearners need to investigate error not have it thrown in as an after

Additionally, there are other stressors that do not necessarily relate to the job itself,but which can

], topology-based [4], partition-based [5], and illustration-based [6]visualizations have been presented. To design FlowVisual, we focus on integration-based flowvisualization as it is most widely used in practice. For integration-based flow visualization,particles or seeds are placed in a vector field and advected over time. The traces or field-linesthat the particles follow, e.g., streamlines for steady flow and pathlines for unsteady flow, depictthe underlying vector data.Teaching the core concepts of fluid dynamics has not significantly changed over the years. Onlya few published works have discussed some recent advances. Hertzberg and Sweetman [7]designed a flow visualization course to focus on studio/laboratory experiences for mixed teamsof

It gave the highest priority toengineering sciences by adopting new measures and allocating funds to strengthen theengineering institutions, updating libraries, laboratories and computing facilities. Thousands of Page 23.734.4students were sent abroad for PhDs. In the subsequent 9-year period, from 2002 to 2011, fourthousand PhDs were produced and the number of engineering institutions increased to sixty nine.These efforts also resulted in bringing the

Instrumentsinclude design logs, classroom observation protocols, surveys, student artifacts, and knowledgeassessments. The demographics of the schools that are implementing the SLIDER and RT3 REC curricula areshown in Table 1. Individual class enrollment ranges from approximately 18 to 36 students, andclass length varies from approximately 50 to 70 minutes. The background of the ten teacherswho are implementing the curricula varies widely, from

All students arerequired to be U.S. citizens, and over 10% are female, which are STEM populations of greatneed. The students are employed by the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education(SOCHE), which employed nearly 1,000 STEM students in the past 25 years. During this time, aformal assessment tool was not distributed to students to

This could be extended to say thatknowledge becomes wisdom through learning. Learning can use a variety of methods as shown in the pyramidof learning (Figure 1) developed by E. J. Wood of National Training Laboratory, Bethel Maine Campus2. Thepyramid shows various methods of learning and corresponding knowledge retention rates for average students.Merely attending lectures is the least effective method. Self-reading and use of audiovisuals cause increasedretention. Demonstration, discussion, and practice take retention to the next level and teaching provides the bestretention.
