their assigned topic.Learning Modules will consist of a: Power Point presentation At least one relevant article from the literature on the topic area Discussion of assigned materials and article Discussion questions with student discussion, and Presentation of the PowerPoint presentation in the class.The students will submit all materials via the course module assignment one week prior to theclass presentation. The instructor will upload the material onto the class web site so that theother students can review the material. The student(s) will then lead the class through alecture/Q&A session during the assigned class time. They will also moderate the discussionquestions during the presentation for their module
GRE from the pre and post survey with 78% ofthe participants reporting that they agreed or strongly agreed to that they felt more prepared totake the GRE. The attendance from the two workshops was recorded by the number of surveyresponses collected, which increased from 36 to 51 (42% increase).IntroductionThe NSF S-STEM program provides student scholarship funds to encourage and enableacademically talented but financially needy students to complete STEM degrees and enter theworkforce. The Student Integrated Intern Research Experience (SIIRE) project [1] addressesNSF’s programmatic goal by integrating external (industry supported) intern or co-opexperiences for students with ongoing on-campus engineering research activities to provide aguided

Although the authorswere able to utilize the resources described in Tip 3 for many of these activities, some of thetopics required development of completely new materials. The first year of implementing theflipped format quickly revealed which in-class activities fell short of these goals, and the authorstook those opportunities to improve the activities in subsequent offerings. In general, the mostsuccessful in-class activities were: 1) Appropriate and relevant for the topic and course. The main purpose should be to enhance student learning of the geology concept(s).

teamwork across disciplines aremultidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. The two concepts have a great deal common, but mayentail slightly different outcomes for participants and for their projects.Briefly, in multidisciplinary work, collaborators work together on a problem. Each bringsexpertise, but, as Borrego and Newswander explain in their overview of cross-disciplinaryengineering collaboration, “collaborators leave the project without having learned much aboutthe other discipline(s). Each researcher continues on his or her own independent trajectory,unchanged by the experience [8].” This means that, while multidisciplinary work brings togetherpeople with different ways of conceptualizing and operating on problems, each takes on

pressure gradients plus gravitational forces plus shearforces. This was an ambitious topic to tackle for both students and teacher (as well ascartoonist). It may not have been completely successful, but the earlier two cartoons helped toset the stage for this more complex representation.

This scene is shownin Figure 9 and used to represent the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.

generation, one must first look at Baby Boomers andGeneration X. The Baby Boomers born at the end of World War II are independent, rule breakersand creative thinkers that shook up the world as adults in the 1960’s. This generation was verydriven and career oriented. Their children, Gen X’ers, grew up as “latch key kids” that felt thattheir parents didn’t have time for them.2 As a result, the Gen X’ers resolved to be the opposite oftheir parents. Their children, Millennials, were more protected and made to feel “special”. Thisover indulgences has led to many describing them as entitled, disrespectful and disengaged.3They have also grown up in the digital/internet era and feel very comfortable with technology.4Fullerton conducted a focus group of
