However, the low overall utilization of the resource may be masking thepotentially significant difference between the two treatments seen in the high-access group.This investigation into homework solution format, as well as best-practices with regards toencouraging student use of the resource, will continue. Specifically, investigations are planned tostudy if providing students with a worked-out-homework solution (from a similar but notassigned problem) before the assignment is due is a more effective intervention than providingsolutions after the due date.Bibliographic Information[1] Steif, P.

The number of sessions offered by each departmentis determined by the projected enrollment and historical data on the choice of major.

The first one is the difficulty ofthe courses in the degree plan since it picks core courses from the two programs—electricalengineering and computer science. The second reason is there are not so many people notice theexistence of the program. In order to introduce CPEG to more and more youngsters, faculty fromPVAMU used this opportunity to show the middle school students how a typical computerengineering project can solve science and engineering problems.Project ImplementationTo implement this weather balloon project, both university professors and middle schoolteachers had a thorough discussion to choose the proper equipment and software

While English is the predominate technical language in the world,one can miss the beauty and richness of reading or learning about something in the nativelanguage.

The author believes this is due to the several challenge problems, which were created because of the flipping of the classroom, utilized this method. In addition, there was a six point increase in the average for the final between this year’s class and the previous class. Both finals utilized similar questions, with the same degree of difficulty. This difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion and Plans for the FutureOne of the main advantages of attempting to “semi-flip” the classroom was to eliminate

Indoing so, it is possible to figure out whether future results can overturn the conclusion drawn inthis paper. If more evidences emerge from further results supporting the hypothesis of significantdifference in learning performances, the authors will try to identify the strengths and weaknessesof the students at the two universities, and strategies could be made on the development ofcourse components to overcome the weaknesses.References1 MIT Open Courseware. 2008.

DirectionThis study abroad program was offered for the first time in May of 2012. Although elevenstudents is fairly average for an upper-level materials engineering elective course at UAB, theprogram is necessarily limited in size. This is a perennial problem for global competencyinitiatives: any program involving study abroad reaches only those students who are (1) alreadywilling and able to travel and (2) able to afford the program. The current plan for implementinga version of this program more widely into the curriculum is to modify the academic portion ofthe course (The Evolution of Engineering Materials) into a standard semester-long course thatwould meet the requirements for a university-approved history course tailored to engineeringstudents
