opportunitiesfor graduate students to have short- term international experiences in laboratories in other partsof the world, and exposure to long- term international careers. We believe that exposing studentsto international settings as a workshop in their university environment will open their curiosity tocollaborate later on with any of those institutions. This paper examines quantitative andqualitative data from graduate school-based seminars in 2011 and 2012. We are in the earlystages of developing international workshops as part of our overall professional developmentseries for graduate students. Our assessments examine the potential impact that our workshops(external to the academic department) have on the success and professional development

As a laboratory exercise, students investigate anexperimental technique for developing the equivalent electric circuit of a quartz crystal. Themeasured crystal parameters together with band-pass filter design equations are subsequentlyimplemented using a standard spreadsheet, thus eliminating the need to expose freshmanstudents to complex mathematics. To illustrate a practical use for quartz crystals, a third orderButterworth and Cohn band-pass filter is designed. Laboratory testing and assembly time tocomplete the contract is approximately six hours distributed over the quarter. In addition

They then completed a laboratory experiment in which they analyzed plots of speech(audio) signals, measured pitch frequencies, and identified male and female voices using thatinformation.

For students enrolled in classes,serving as teaching or laboratory assistants, and perhaps trying to balance family or other offcampus obligations, finding time, structure, and motivation to write can prove challenging. Inresponse, they may succumb to unhealthy habit of ‘binge writing’, mistaking believing that theywill be more creative and productive if they write sporadically in bursts that lead to exhaustion4.A simple way to create effective writing habits and ensure steady progress is to set writing goals.A goal is simply an articulated desired end-state.

The certificate programs integrate industry competencies from advanced technical fields, aligned mostly with project-based and problem-based teaching approaches. The curricula are designed to allow non- degree seeking students to take individual courses, as micro-credentials in the respective subjects; they can be accrued towards the certificate completion. Also students may take certificate courses as technical electives if they are approved by the respective programs. 3.1
