and the environment (i.e. STSE), inteaching undergraduate engineering students? The use of STSE as a theoretical framework wasinspired by two motivating factors: first, STSE is a framework used primarily in the K-12 realm,and so there’s a novelty to integrating the two, often distinct realms of K-12 STEM and post-secondary engineering education; and secondly, STSE represents a broad range of perspectivesand instructional tools that connect science and technology with society and the environment,offering opportunities for rich and diverse responses and participation from the instructors in thestudy.Background LiteratureSTSE gained prominence as a result of the social movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s thatcalled for a change in science to
their practice as an educator or renewable energy expert. Thesequestions guided the participants’ informal research while traveling and resulted in short reportsafter travel.Site visit reports: Participants completed reports for each site visited. These forms consisted offive questions prompts and resulted in formative, reflective reports that captured theirexperiences at each visit and also acted as informal journals that they could use in the future toidentify trends, concepts and/or innovations that they found notable. The reports also served as arecord for their continued investigation into their individual inquiry question(s).Sector Reports: Upon return, participants were paired up on teams based on their specific area ofrenewable energy
. Suppose R1 andR2 are two rankings from a set of samples S = (a0 , a1 , . . . , aN −1 ). Defining the rank of ai in Rjas PRj (ai ), the RankDistance RankDist(R1 , R2 ) between R1 and R2 is: |PR1 (ai ) − PR2 (ai )| ai ∈S RankDist(R1 , R2 ) = , (10) Nwhere N is the total number of samples.From Equation 10 we can see that the smaller the RankDist(R1 , R2 ) is, the closer R1 and R2are. In our experiments, we compare our method with U.S. News’ results using RankDist. Aswe said before, we are not taking U.S
) program, mini-FEA, developed byProfessor Paul S. Steif at Carnegie Mellon University about fifteen years ago, is used to illustratethe concepts and quickly show how it works. For complex geometry, ANSYS Mechanical APDLprograms were created by the instructor so that the requirements of student interaction with theprogram are minimal, and to keep their focus on deformation concepts. The mini-FEA allows theinstructor to provide a quick illustration of deformation concepts as well as the basic steps inimplementing FEM. The concepts of deformation mechanics are then demonstrated by graphicalillustrations from both FEM and the traditional photoelasticity method. The purpose of this paperis to study the effectiveness of integrating FEM and discover how

through a “quality assurance” regime. To provide a flavor of thecurrent approach, faculty are required to specify the number of hours students need to spend tolearn specific content; academic credit as well as faculty course loads are then assigned usingthis measure, even as the specified learning outcomes provides the basis for determining whatdegree programs students are qualified to enter at the start of the second cycle. This means thatEurope has embraced a learning outcomes regime far more extensive than anything required byABET EC 2000’s accreditation protocols.6As an institutional historian and an ethnographer of educational institutions, we have reason tobelieve that the changes brought about by the Bologna Process will not occur all
affairs organizations. Organizational structures for student support services inuniversities have been studied for many years, and tend to be updated periodically as newgenerations of students (and parents) arrive on campus with new expectations about supportservices. The structural model for these services is highly centralized within ODOS at ourinstitution. ODOS oversees student programming as well as residence life, Greek life, and othercore services; they also provide routine support to students in need. The overall variety instudent affairs organizational models is staggering[5], and our institution fits neatly intoManning et al.’s “administrative-centered traditional” model, specifically the “functional silo”model. As Manning et al. point
