course session that introduces the rest ofthe class to the topic. The students are told to consider • the areas of biomedicine discussed the first day of class, • the subject(s) of interest that they wrote on their index cards the first day of class (index cards are distributed to students so that they can provide the instructor with more details Page 25.1262.6 regarding their interests and activities than are provided in the KSU online database), • the discretionary topic that they chose for Homework 1 (a medical device search where each student pursues information about a device of interest to them), and • the
end of thesemester. Over 95% of the students write favorable comments about the Lecture, includingcomments for improvements. The feedback has been used to modify and strengthen severalportions of the Lecture media and Class Workbook.BIBLIOGRAPHY[1] Caputi, M.

The homework submission variables describingthe students’ interaction with the online homework included the time between the first and lastattempt of the homework assignment and the time between the first attempt and the due date ofthe homework assignment. These variables show when students started the online homeworkassessment and how long they took to complete their homework attempt(s). These data werecalculated by using the submission time stamp data from ANGEL for the time of eachsubmission. A macro was written in Excel to transform submission time

all case studies,while questions four and five were tailored to address characteristics specific to the particularcase study. The prompt for each case study can be found in Appendix C.Table 1: Guiding Questions for Case Study Activity. All groups considered questions 1-3, whiledifferent groups considered question(s) 4(-5) depending on the specific case study assigned. General Questions For All Research Groups 1. What characteristics distinguish this group from other engineering research groups? 2. How does the size of this research group impact: a. Overall group management? b. Student learning and development? 3. What suggestions would you make for advising a research group with these or
goal/s.”7A further goal for the student teams is to make explicit that innovation and meeting the needs ofthe adopters of the technology developed in the projects is required to achieve project success.This moves the emphasis from a social business to the development of a social entrepreneurialactivity. Definition of what is meant by social entrepreneurship is widely debated, but there aresome core elements and qualities that are frequently recognized, for example: Page 25.366.3 “Social entrepreneurs are society’s change agents, creators of innovations that disrupt the status quo and transform our world for the better.

take that intermittent time could have some discretion by the department and some ability to work it out so that it meets everybody’s needs. So there is a role for the supervisor or [department chair] or whatever, in combination with the business office when it comes down to that. [A8/ Policy Administrator 1]Options like intermittent time, as well as taking advantage of the policy in general are automaticonce a person fills out the proper forms. However, how the policy and its options are actuallyput into place in a given case requires coordination with the chair of a department as well as thebusiness office. For instance, such as in A3's case where she took sick leave, the business officesin departments keep track of
assignment exampleHomework assignments included around 15 exercises adopted and adapted from 4, 5, 6, 7. Thefollowing is an example adapted from 5, Chapter 4: “Consider the network shown in Figure 4. The network layer at node A receives 4000 bytesfrom the transport layer, to be sent to node B. Assume that the MTU (in bytes) of the copperEthernet network, copper serial network, optical fiber network, and copper Ethernet network is10000, as shown in the figure. Assume also that the final hop, the wireless network, has an MTUof 1420. (a) How will the transfer happen in each router?
