KEEN “3Cs” - Curiosity, Connections, and Creating Value.ReflectionIt is a practice of human nature to reflect on experiences of the past and present. However, in thecase of reflection, most people fail to recognize the use of these experiences to aid in the future.True reflection “on experience can be framed as an intentional and dialectical thinking processwhere an individual revisits features of an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one ormore lenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thusfuture experience)” [1]. It takes various elements and perspectives to achieve reflective thinking.Schon simplified reflection down to two categories known as “reflection-on-action” and“reflection
personalized for each student, covering the topics needed, and progressing at the pace chosen by the student. At the onset, the student completes a self-test. The questions cover all the topics to be covered in an upcoming math course. Once in the math course, the instructor would expect the student to know all the prerequisite topics. However, this theoretical expectation is not always matched in practice. Upon completion of the self-test, the student is aware of the percentage of prerequisite topics s/he has mastered. ALEKS will then provide tutorials, along with quizzes, to ensure the student covers all the gaps that remain. 2.3.

things to be done fast; their attention span has shrunk over the pastfew years. So, new engineering experiment designs have to take this into account. In thermalscience, an experiment that take over 40 minutes to reach steady state is considered very longand ‘boring’ by today’s students.Based on these trends, engineering professors are led to look for experimental designs that: can be constructed in-house with no money or little money can be duplicated to create more than one experimental station take relatively short time to perform have a clear and direct connection to theoretical concepts (not convoluted, so that students do not miss the point(s) of the experiment while trying to make sense of what they are doing

routeswith varying levels of difficulty also provided an opportunity for risk taking and success throughtrial and error. In other words, if a team originally chooses a route and/or sensor(s) that requireshigher levels of programming and they continue to fail, shifting to a different and possibly easiernavigational route can happen.Before students arrived, teams were randomly formed (two teams of five and three teams of sixstudents), lab facilitators and helpers assigned, and team packets prepared with event resources,such as team member role cards. PMTM 2.0 allowed each team member to choose their rolefrom the options shown in Table 1, and the mission recorder role from 2015 was removed andthe role of data engineer added.

future work. First, the currentsystem consists of three Python programs (or files), and the operation of the system requiressome command line inputs. It would be more convenient for a user (e.g. instructor) to use thesystem if the system could be integrated into a single application file with a Graphic UserInterface (GUI). Second, we will update the system for a more robust face recognition if acorresponding algorithm is available. Third, based on the survey, some students have a privacyconcern on face recognition. It is important to address this concern.References[1] B.K. Mohamed and C. Raghu, “Fingerprint attendance system for classroom needs,” IndiaConference (INDICON), Annual IEEE, 2012, pp. 433-438.[2] S.

environmental ethics as part ofsustainable education into the undergraduate engineering curriculum (4). Overall, educatorsbelieve that education for the engineer of the 21st century must include a critical component ofsustainable development in modern engineering curriculum (5).In response to the ABET 2000 criteria, several universities in the U. S. have launched programsto incorporate sustainable/green engineering principles into the engineering curriculum. Forexample, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Arizona StateUniversity established the NSF and USEPA sponsored Center for Sustainable Engineering in2005 to enhance undergraduate education in sustainable engineering.

At times, multiple buildingprojects were in progress simultaneously; on average there were 2 simultaneous projects.When the children decided to construct something with the blocks, they may or may not elicit theassistance of 1 or more classmates. Sometimes, a child decided to start a project solo and wasthen approached by an interested classmate. The classmate first asked for permission to assistand then joined in if permission was granted – if permission was denied they either started theirown project or moved along to another play area. Permission was rarely denied and rarely, if atall, did the other children just watch. If the child had already decided what s/he wanted to buildthen they would give verbal instructions and guidance to

With this designevolution all ( or nearly all ) of the holes should eventually get filled, however the orientation ofthe pixels should only be correct 25% of the time on average.
