by supervisors and chosen by students, while many projects were integrated into thecommunity making them service learning challenges. Furthermore, most projects were funded byindustry partners and thus, the University incurred little or no research costs. Anecdotal feedbackfrom students indicated that most were inspired in their project selection by a particular pre-requisite course (and/or associated faculty member). Usually, students demonstrated a strongaptitude in the research discipline of their project indicating that they perform better in topicswith which they enjoy. We are unsure how students chose their team mate(s) as some of thegroup members had very different aptitudes, work styles and attitudes. We speculated thatstudents
helpinstitutionalize the program, a learning network has been created to support the partnership ofuniversity faculty, community college faculty, K-12 schools, and industry participants.The project approach is based on the strategy of promoting teachers’ deep understanding offoundational STEM concepts and processes and the connections between them. Research showsthat STEM teachers in U. S. schools lack content knowledge and mastery of subject-related Page 11.1044.5pedagogy that enables them to teach content most effectively5. They also lack a sense of theconnections among concepts that reveal mathematics as an internally logical and coherent systemof
stereo method and studentswho used the polarized stereo method.Although Volbracht et al.’s study provided quantified effectiveness measures for different displaymethods, they only collected data related to their subjects’ objective performance, when using thedifferent display methods. However, Mills and deAraujo (1999) determined that students’subjective perceptions of technologies used in teaching should not be ignored when comparingthe effectiveness of different technologies used in education.The research problem of this study was to determine whether there is a significant difference inthe effectiveness of anaglyphic and HMD-based stereo display methods in design and graphicseducation. Specifically, the study intended to measure the impact of

The objective of this TA team was to aid the course directors andinvited lecturers in transitioning a medical imaging course from a traditional format to a flippedclassroom format and help define policies and procedures

Traditional designs of “seat belts” for dogs aim toprotect the lives of drivers and passengers by restraining the dog. In a serious accident,those restraints can do serious harm to the dog. The design created by Kristina and Nickprotects the dog’s vulnerable shoulder bones. Kristina had the idea when a friend’s dogdied in an accident and she could not find a good seat belt for her own dog.

some are entirely out of our control from an instructional effectivenessstandpoint. Factors considered to be under our control are semester (SEM), lecture (LEC), andsession (SESSION), as these factors relate to the overall performance of the instructor(s) as awhole (assuming the nature of students in the course is consistent from year to year). Factorsthat are partially under our control are TA, experience (TAEXP), and degree (TADEG). While itis not always possible for the faculty to select each TA, some control is possible, and it is alsoattainable to improve the training and mentoring of TAs. Factors considered to be outside ourcontrol include major (MAJ) and lab attendance (LABATT), average lab score (LABSCORE),and homework score (HWSCORE

For example, they had to actively encourage confused interns to ask questions.Similarly, the mentors learned that the interns were not always willing to admit when they didnot understand new material. I learned that I should encourage students I am working with to ask more questions earlier on and that I should be more active in confirming that my explanations are adequate. I can do this by asking the student to write in words what I have asked them to do or to show me after they do the first step. I learned that even when a student says they understand and gives a one sentence summary it does not necessarily mean that they understand. I have learned to think from the student side and make

Furthermore, giving students practice with exploring and capturing complexphenomena is becoming ever more important in a world of increasing collaboration andincreasingly complex phenomena.
