concepts represented on the MAI from pre-calculus are average of numbers,average rate of change, fractional change, reasoning from and about graphs/graphical displays,asymptotic behavior, and signed numbers (arithmetic with positive and negative numbers). Themathematical concepts from introductory calculus include the derivative, the definite integral,and the fundamental theorem of calculus. MAI items were categorized into a short taxonomybased on the mathematical content area(s) represented and the cognitive process (knowing,applying, or reasoning) required to solve the item.In addition to analyzing students’ open-ended responses to the MAI test items, researchers alsoconducted in-depth interviews with a sample of fourteen students immediately

The development of theseprograms, still in their early stages, is a collaboration between faculty from the Schools ofEngineering and Education.AcknowledgementsFunding for this project was provided by the National Science Foundation under grant DUE-0942117.Bibliography 1.

need tostudy and that attendance in the study group is worthwhile.Study Group LogisticsStudents arrive at study groups to find that the leader has organized the seating in the room to bein a horseshoe shape with all chairs and desks facing the white board. The leader should beseated as if s/he is a part of the group. The leader facilitates collaborative group work byopening communication and asking about problem areas from the lecture or homework. In thecase of a large group or a group with students from several different course sections studyingdifferent chapters of the book, the leader will help break the group into smaller more appropriategroups. The leader projects equality with the group through body language alone, such as bysitting

IntensificationProcess intensification was identified by the NSF as early as 1993 as a specific area in whichresearch endeavors should be concentrated to meet the needs of the chemical industry;1 almostone hundred archival articles were published on process intensification topics in 2008.2 Thenumber of such articles identified using the term "process intensification' in SciFinder Scholar in2009 and 2010 are 103 and 95, respectively.Benefits of process intensification activities include:3,4 1) novel or enhanced products; 2)improved chemistry; 3) enhanced safety; 4) improved processing; 5) energy and environmentalbenefits; 6) capital cost reduction; and 7) low inventories. Key to the endeavor is an ability toidentify the limitation(s) in a process, and knowledge
to trisect the entirecamp experience into pre-camp, camp and post-camp components.Pre-campAlthough making money is not the goal of most robotics camps, organizers must still collectmoney and must distribute those funds to meet the needs of the camp. This reality leads to thefirst decision. Is your summer robotic program(s) going to be operated by a not-for-profit entity,or is it being conducted to earn revenue? Revenue generating types of camps, a for-profitorganization, will include different planning, budgeting, and taxation concerns not discussed hereand our recommendation is to organize your camp within a not-for-profit structure. Either way,there are two general avenues for funds that camp organizers can pursue to assist in financing

engineering offered by theUWP CEE department (construction, environmental, geotechnical, transportation, and structur-al). As part of this introduction, each sub-discipline area would assign students to assess a por-tion of the local infrastructure.All faculty in the CEE department participated in developing the materials for the modules, withone module created for each sub-discipline area. Faculty worked in their area(s) of expertise.The result is a set of materials that is targeted directly at sophomore students. Each sub-discipline area was instructed to devote one lesson of their module to introducing their sub-discipline and three lessons to explaining one (or more) facet of the sub-discipline. For eachmodule, students had to gain knowledge and
