Can the continuum accountof the vibration behavior of an elastic body (i.e. a string or membrane in this paper) bereduced to the theory of its atomic constituents in the sense that we can derive the macroscalebehavior from the microscale (particle) theory?The upscaling of the model descriptions from atomic to laboratory scales usually takes placeby reduction. The individual description of elastically coupled particles reduces to continuummechanics by making use of appropriate mathematical limits, which seems to be justified

degree in engineering,science or medicine, which is designed to take 10 semesters. Enrolled graduate students areexpected to first obtain a Certificate in BME through one or two semesters of full time study (12units), a Diploma is issued after two to four semesters (24 units total), and finally a Master’sdegree after four to six semesters (48 units total). Students may leave the program at any ofthese stages with what is anticipated to be a useful credential for work in the emergingbiomedical industry. Typical courses are 2 or 3 units, where 1 unit represents at least 15 hours ofcontact time, and up to 25 hours if the course includes a laboratory or design component. TheMaster’s degree does not require a thesis, but it does require a 6 unit
that online quiz scoresshowed higher correlation with final examination marks than laboratory or assignment marks.Grimstad and Grabe (2004)19 found that students who completed voluntary quizzessignificantly improved their exam performances. However, their conclusions were explainedby good students being both motivated to take voluntary quizzes and likely to do well onexams. Brothen and Wambach (2001)8 cautioned that mandatory quizzes only improve examperformance if students employ an efficient strategy of using the quizzes to test their ownknowledge of the material, rather than attempting to use the quiz to learn the material.Furthermore, a set of precautions were suggested by Angus and Watson (2009)20 forsuccessful administration of periodic

This isalso evidenced by a number of Aerospace Engineering majors getting employment for theindustry careers that have traditionally required Computer Science or Electrical & ElectronicsEngineering graduates such as in Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Unmanned Systems Division ofNorthrop Grumman Corporation, etc.Increased emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary learning, and students are highly encouraged tolearn other disciplines as the companies involved in UAV technologies are increasingly lookingfor graduates with knowledge and skills in multiple disciplines.C.

We exploit thisconsequence to calculate the attributes of the transmission line. This project can be conductedunder the pretext of a power company or communications company who want to locate faults intheir transmission lines.CharacteristicsStudents are asked to find: 1. velocity of propagation in the transmission line, 2. length of the transmission line, 3. attenuation coefficient of the transmission line, 4. impedance of an unknown termination.Initial ConditionsThis project is best presented a laboratory project.

Therefore, results were collected and reportedbased on the numerical average.Student comments were collected from course evaluations as well from conversations that tookplace after the course was completed. Not all students provided comments related to the class.Teaching Methods and AssignmentsIn addition to teaching innovation in this course, we also explored alternative methods ofinstruction. We focused on increasing student engagement in the course. One way we did thatwas to introduce the students to a variety of experiential learning methods. For example, ourcourse was taught at the same time as the on-campus farmers market, allowing us to use it as anon-campus learning laboratory. Patrons and vendors were used in
inorganicmaterials as altering the band gap energy of these materials through chemical means is ratherchallenging. Therefore, significant effort has been placed in designing, synthesizing, andimplementing quantum dot semiconductors in photovoltaic applications. This has led to acombination of computational design investigations by physicists, advanced synthetic proceduresby chemists, and fabrication and testing of quantum dot solar cells by engineers. As such,significant progress has been made with respect to achieving relatively high power conversionefficiency values at the laboratory scale. However, the ability to scale the production of quantumdot semiconductors and the potential toxicity (e.g., adverse effects felt by the fabricationengineers and

Diverger: People with this learning style prefer working in groups and listening to different points of view. They are emotional, imaginative and have broad cultural interests. They perform well in tasks that call for brainstorming new ideas.Philbin, Meier, Huffman, and Boverie conducted a study, based on ELT, to determine if therewere differences in learning styles by gender.9 The authors found that men were more than twiceas likely to have an assimilator learning style, implying a preference for reading, lectures andanalytical models in a

He worked as a research scientist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. before joining the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Lawrence Technological University. He has several publications in the areas of microflu- idics, chemical and biological sensors, and MEMS technology. He is also passionate about engineering pedagogy. He has not only published articles on engineering education but has also led several workshops on using instructional methodologies that make classroom instruction more engaging and

Lastly, it was found that students transitionedfrom a performance goal orientation to more of a mastery approach towards problem solvingthrough their involvement in the REU, which indicated that the students were self-identifying asscience professionals.Based on our analysis of the literature, we suggest that most research related to typicalundergraduate research experiences are either discipline specific, or focus on select sub-disciplines (i.e., only the physical sciences, or only the life sciences, etc.). Rarely is therecollaboration between students and faculty conducting research in the humanities, engineering,mathematics, the sciences, and the social sciences. Although the financial and

society. Why will a Practitioner find utility in this approach? Most of the engineering education practitioners use natural sciences and deductivemethods both in their research as well as in their teaching meaning that they need toobserve and present their findings in a logical and bias-free context5, 61, 14. This applies toboth the classroom as well as the laboratory. There is very little, or no space at all, forresearcher-based personal, inductive or intuitive interpretation 36, 61. Conversationalstorytelling and the SBL method become engaging only when it is storyteller-based.Meaning both the teacher and the student. It is all about interpretations and emotions13, 33.As for engineering education this means that the method is

Founded on the above learning concepts,the proposed framework aids learning geospatial applications in domains like environmentalmodelling, land use planning ( Chandramouli, Huang, and Xue, 2009, Chandramouli & Huang,2012
