The journal may containany dilemmas or problems and related solutions or courses of action taken.A final report is also mandatory. This is above and beyond the weekly journal and StudentEvaluation form. The format and topic(s) of the final report is left up to the student with theapproval of the research supervisor. The intent of the report is to prepare a scholarly workdocument to be submitted (acceptance is not a requirement) in the form of a conference,scientific and trade journal paper, technical meeting or conference presentation.A seminar will be scheduled at the end of the term.

spring of 2017. The Historical Society director wanted to show the shift from flour milling topaper milling on the Fox River that occurred at that time. So, the class was ‘hired’ to makeinteractive exhibits that demonstrated how an 1870’s flour mill worked.It was a unique opportunity for the class, because they were able to interact with a client,including touring the space, creating prototypes, having the client request design changes, andfinally building the exhibit. Partnering with the students also helped the Historical Societyreceive two local community grants to support the exhibit. At the end of the semester, thedirector of the Historical Society reviewed the student projects and accepted 4 of the 5 projectsfor inclusion in the exhibit

However, students have the option to take a break(s) during the e-Lesson; break points are suggested. • Participation: Exercises are included during the workshop class to encourage students to begin their problem solving. Complete solutions are provided. • Quiz: A digitally-mediated quiz containing numerous short-answer (true-false, multiple choice) questions is provided after the new material has been presented in each e-Lesson. This quiz is not graded, and solutions are given for all responses. This approach is
segmented using a conversation analysis coding system thatdistinguishes turns-at-talk between two individuals.33 Conversation Analysis (CA) is aqualitative method derived from ethnomethodology and discourse analysis and established in the1960’s by social scientists Harvey Sacks, Emanuel Schegloff and Gail Jefferson to distinguishsocial interaction during discourse. It allows researchers to describe, analyze and understand talkthrough a series of organizational structure and linguistic notation.33 Specific notation for CAtranscripts were developed by Gail Jefferson to show linguistic emphasis. Additional focusincludes the use of adjacency pairs that delineate conditional relevance (e.g., first turn-at-talk ofadjacency pair makes the later turn

deciding who to ask for recommendations, and detailed advice is given on how toprepare background information that will assist letter writers in highlighting the range ofapplicants' skills and abilities.IntroductionRecommendation letters are typically one component of a larger application package, which mayalso include transcripts, test scores, statements of purpose, and a resume. Before asking forrecommendation letters, you should consider the purpose and scope of the opportunity, anddetermine what types of recommendations would be most appropriate and helpful in convincingthe reviewer that you are the best fit for this opportunity.For instance, typical graduate school applications require the following elements: Statement(s) of Purpose: an

By the 1970’s thegraduates were beginning to find more and more success with aerospace companies inmanufacturing and maintenance management positions. By the 1990’s over half of the graduateswere finding careers with major aerospace design companies and performing duties inengineering support. By 2010, the graduates were finding leadership positions across aviationand aerospace in positions ranging from maintenance development to program management ofengineering programs.

the facility to select, by the teacher, the 2-input gate under study and the method to excite the logic gate inputs. It was desired to make the learning tool fun with an innovative method, to change the gate input logic level, which would mimic a “magic show”. Figure 1 shows the typical usage of the device. As seen in Figure 1, top-left image, the light falling on two photo-resistors is translated, using an electronic circuit, into logic 0, which is then applied to the gate-under-test housed in a separate digital circuit unit. Blocking the light, by using hands, one can apply logic 1 to either one or both, the gate input/s. Depending on the gate-under-test, the LED matrix will light up for one of the four possible
