. Different types of experiments suitable forengineering students and their fundamental learning objectives are identified. A simple approachto design, introduce, assess, and evaluate these experiments is outlined. Several assessmentrubrics are presented as well as a survey to evaluate the lab experience and prepare a correctiveaction plan, if applicable.Bibliography1.

The specific objectives of the work usually are stated in the Introduction.Remember to define any special terminology such as acronyms that will be used.3e. Review of Prior Studies SectionNearly all technical presentations build upon prior studies. Prior studies can be summarized as achronological review of relevant papers, theses, patents, etc., or presented in a table summarizingthe principal contributions. Alternatively, papers can be cited via footnotes, which are helpfulwhen space is limited. Provide a critique at the end of the review of prior studies in which youcritically assess the state-of-the-art. An effective critique should provide strong

even share based on the team size. For each major assignment a correspondingnumber of points was associated with the peer review. Each team member could receive more orless than this point value based on the results of the review. For example, on a team with four students each member should contribute 25% of theworkload. If one team member only contributes 20% of the workload, then that student wouldreceive 80% of the peer review points associated with the assignment. Since this method is azero-sum proposition, other team member(s) on this team would receive more than the allottedpoints because they would have contributed more than their theoretical share of the work. Thiswas a way to provide limited extra credit to those team members who

!Nevertheless, this study shows that the essentials are nearly identical between the two institutions Page 13.313.15so neither of them has decided to substantially eliminate material from the shorter (3 hour)course.Simply going faster is clearly a bad idea; after all, the objective is learning, not teaching. An“expert” might be able to cover all of the essentials in a single lecture, especially if s/he hasauctioneer’s training, but this would not facilitate learning. There are, however, ways to gofaster while not significantly affecting student learning, as described below under“Recommendations”.Shifting the burden to the students should be considered

The Fellows surveyed were eitherfacilitators of their own Math Club(s) or assisted the two graduate Fellows in FAME orEnergy Club. This survey was designed to capture the perspective of each person filling Page 13.1235.10out the survey with respect to the student, the teacher, the school, the Fellow or thegraduate Fellow. For example, if a Fellow were filling out the survey, then they wouldthink about their students in the OST Club when answering the question, “Doesparticipation in the OST Club positively affect the students

All participants, the teachers, parents and collaborative partners,were tasked to develop an understanding of the importance of working together for a Page 13.441.7common vision of science and mathematics excellence within each learning community.• Objective 1: Participants will define what “critical thinking” is and how it should be implemented in each learning environment.• Objective 2: Participants will understand the importance of working with students to develop a workable, fair and consistent assessment rubric.
