A key specification of the design and development of the videos wasthat they must be made available online, with plans for ubiquitous availability across classes,instructors, and sites. Each video lecture represented key components of content and contextknowledge. The videos were designed to meet the needs of students through multiple methods ofinstruction, including those with limited access, repeated access, sequenced access, and generalavailability. Initial evaluations of pilot use in the classroom, conducted in Fall 2010, Spring2011, and Fall 2011, provided formative feedback on students

engineering faculty provided support, HBCU and HSIstudents‘ responses varied. HBCU students were more likely to report that their facultyprovided support through career preparation and planning, often suggesting that studentsprepare for graduate school, internships, cooperative experiences and other opportunitiesoutside of the classroom. ―I think the faculty provides support because they're the ones that have allthe information about… the different graduate schools. And a lot of them havebeen to certain graduate schools. That can really help me out in the future, like if Iwant to know, like, „hey, you've been here, how was your experience,‟ do you thinkthat would be a nice place for me to go, and different things like that.” – Russell,HBCU-1

Using a unified description of electromagnetic waves we can discuss other topics such as:electromagnetic waves in optically active media, electromagnetic waves in guided and periodicstructures, non-linear optics, and fiber optics.Set of seven EFW experimentsThe teaching of EFW to undergraduate students is a very challenging task [7, 8] and a newapproach based on lab experiments is needed.

Theywill find the right tool for the right task at the right price.

Although this research finds that theoretical clients are asuccessful way to eliminate logistical difficulties in coordinating client-based projects,Northeastern University still plans to expand the number of client-based service-learning projectsoffered.6 The recommended continued

Future work is planned using this basic approach for illustrating concepts invarious courses, with improvements implemented based on lessons learned to date.Some lessons learned are: - A loss of resolution and reduced viewable area for higher frame rates must be considered for any specific application. - Particular attention to lighting and background contrast is important for most videos, but these issues are very important when using a camera such as the one

They deal with problems of goals, motivation, evaluation, and long-range planning that are normally left to teachers or managers.” We found that although such adescription clearly indicates a reduced and different type of role for the instructor, there were stillnumerous opportunities for the instructor to scaffold, share, redirect, and otherwise influencestudent collaborative discourse.KB TalkWith the problem of understanding formulated and initial theories developed, students began aten-week period of knowledge building that took

If students are thinking about becoming a lawyer, we inform themthat again engineering is an excellent undergraduate degree for law school. We also point outthat an engineering degree is required for patent law, which is a very good paying career. Wealso caution the students about doing any major that has a “pre” in front of it, such as pre-law,pre-medicine, or pre-business, since if they change their mind or are unable to get into medicalschool, a “pre” degree does not have a lot of value in the marketplace and emphasizes that thestudent was not able to carry through with their intent.
