Watching the audio lectures can be considered a passive learning modeand manipulating them is considered active. Both activities are low-level learning activitiesaccording to the ICAP framework and thus they were moved outside of the class and class timecan be used for higher-level learning activities.Q&AAs students prepared for each lecture on their own, they were highly encouraged to post anyquestions they might have to the Piazza discussion board embedded in the Blackboard coursesite. They were also encouraged to write down the question(s) anonymously and drop thequestion(s) to the in-class drop box as they walk into the classroom

In the1800’s, programs promoted “the application of sciences to the common purposes of life,”4 withthe goal of training employees for the rapidly expanding economy

The project seems huge and with a not clearset of priorities. Finally, hallways and informal talks mention that faculty leaders are seen asbelonging to a clique close to the top administration, which risks the wide adoption of theprogram.The Clover 2030 Engineering Strategy: A joint venture between UC and UTFSMNew Engineering for 2030 has been the opportunity that UC-Engineering was expecting tovalidate its efforts to create world-class education in Chile.

PCC scientists constructed the devices and evaluated the biological inputs/outputs in the system (picked biological seeds, plate counted bacteria, conducted DNA sequencing). Similar experimental set-ups were operated at both institutions. Cal Poly Pomona engineers provided support with system operation and water sample analysis. Student interaction was achieved by using: (a) Initial in-person two-hour meetings. Every semester, to break the ice and engage PCC and Cal Poly Pomona students with the collaborative work, initial meetings were hosted at Cal Poly Pomona. PCC students and the professor(s) visited the campus and had the opportunity of touring the engineering laboratory facilities. The initial meetings
, the CIT-E community had a deeper understanding of flipping.We understood that flipping is not simply a matter of recording some screencasts for students to watchout of class. Rather, the design of the flipped classroom exercises must be intentional. The SecondAnnual Infrastructure Education Workshop is planned in May 2015 to answer the following questions,and the answers will be reported on the companion poster to this paper. What material in the current course(s) can readily be adapted to out-of-class screencasts? The answer to this question will provide an estimate of how much class time is now freed up for active learning exercises. What are the characteristics of an effective in-class question for the flipped

Both Models run on a variety of Linux distributions such as Raspbian (a DebianWheezy port) and Pidora (a Fedora port), in addition to other OS such as OpenElec and RISCOS.

Similarly, although women held 18.4% ofthe B.S degrees and 22% of the Ph.D.'s; only 13% of the faculty was women; of which only8.7% held the rank of full professor.19 Studies have also shown that the gap between male andfemale faculty was narrower in early career and widens significantly by 15 years after theirPh.D.18 Underrepresented minorities, both ethnic and gender based, need to comprise at least15% of academia before they can influence the culture and agenda.7The Computing Research Association for Women (CRA-W) has several mentoring programs forwomen in computer

However, „system analysis‟ approach provides a roadmap to theproblem-solving process, by which the reasoning activity is streamlined and generalized. Thismethod may also be employed to demonstrate to the students how to formulate either wordproblems or a design basis. It also helps the teachers to show to their students how to switchfrom rote memorization to critical thinking.‘System Analysis’ ApproachThe system analysis approach considers the definition of a system as composed of componentswhich interact with each other to produce output(s) based on inputs. The best way to define thebehavior of a system is to define the variables which govern the

: Lessons Learned From Community College Transfer Scholarship Recipients AbstractWith funding from the National Science Foundation’s S-STEM grant program, the ECASE(Engaging the Community to Achieve Success in Engineering) Scholarship at Seattle PacificUniversity (SPU) has targeted transfer students from urban and rural community colleges in theregion. For the past nine years, this program has provided scholarship and other support funds toassist these transfer students in obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.The goal of the ECASE Scholarship is to provide pathways for financially needy, academicallytalented transfer students to thrive in the university environment, enter the workforce as well-trained
