specifically with glucose, the concentration of glucose can be measuredindependently of the presence of other sugars that are quite chemically similar. As forindustrial catalysis, practical sensor applications require that enzymes and receptorproteins be immobilized onto a solid surface. The chemical scheme most commonlyemployed on the laboratory scale involves the use of Au-S self-assembly chemistry. Thisallows both direct immobilization of proteins that contain cysteine residues, and indirectattachment of proteins to surfaces through linker chemistries. As will also be discussed,protein immobilization can also be made directly onto Si for integration into MEMS

These factors include obviously classroom-related items such as “Activeand Collaborative Learning” activities, “Time-on-Task,” and “Course-Related Interactions withFaculty.” Less obvious factors, however, are also listed. These include “Out-of-ClassRelationships with Faculty,” “Quality of Campus Relationships,” and even “Use of InformationTechnology.”9 Engagement, then, can be said to be an amalgamation of a number of elements,constituting both the intellectual and social connections students make with course materials aswell as the environment(s) in which the materials are

It also evolved practically in a university-level evaluation of individual college assessment plans within that author’s experience.Designation and use of a head-judge/s is an intervention that we have used within our events. Each head judgeis assigned a team of judges. Each team of judges is then assigned a set of participants that a certain number ofjudges must rate. For example, a team may consist of three to five judges, be assigned to rate 12 contestants,with each contestant rated by a minimum of three judges. The head judge determines the logistics required tofulfill these conditions. Also, the head judge fields questions about the criteria and the judging process. At

that the department’s quest to slay theHydra—fully infusing the program with the BOK2 outcomes—could not be accomplished byselectively tweaking courses. Rather, as this paper discusses, a complete review of every aspectof the program was necessary, including the educational objectives, the program outcomes, andthe objectives for each required course. Ultimately, it was a two-year process of programassessment, evaluation and modification to fully implement the BOK2.I. IntroductionA.
