elements or structures are valuable to students in enhancingtheir time management for the enrolled course. A limitation of the reported results is that actualimprovement in time management skill was not measured; rather, the students’ perception ofimprovement was measured. Further study with measures of actual time management skills iswarranted. Further, longitudinal study regarding the persistence of time management skillacquired could elucidate important relationships about transfer of this necessary life skill to othercontexts.

For an effect well-separated from the control category, s will be small for a given µ1 / µ2 (since the categoryvariances σ12 and σ 22 will be small), thus d will be “large.” For cases where either category isdispersed (and therefore has a larger category variance) the increased value of s serves toreduce the distance between categories and d will be “small.”For the at-risk students in Circuits & Systems, Cohen’s effect size was

pedagogical approach, CE most strongly is connected to service-learning (S-L). ThoughFurco (2003) stated that at least two hundred different definitions of service-learning have beenpublished, the distinguishing factor of between S-L and community-service is that S-L isintentionally designed to meet learning (often academic) objectives. Other components commonin service-learning definitions include 1) the need for student reflection on the value of the effort,2) the connection and integration of the effort with the community, and 3) the attainment byparticipants of the desirable outcome of civic or social responsibility.The benefits of CE projects are well documented in the literature13, 27.

However, none of Bobby’s group members elaborated or seemed to sharehis uncertainty. Also noteworthy is that Isabel took the opportunity to broach a subject that wasbecoming contentious – who was project manager – perhaps bringing it up in front of an adultfor a measure of safety in addressing a relational difficulty.As to how the feedback they received during the first design critique session shaped this group’ssocial interaction, findings indicate a decrease in students’ focus on social-relational issues asmembers became more task-focused after receiving negative feedback.

deals with the concept of sampling andreconstruction. Although in the previous experiments students actually sampled andreconstructed signals, they had not been exposed to underlying foundations. Thus, thelecture portion of this lab introduces the student to the concept of Nyquist SamplingCriterion. The knowledge that they have gained in determining the frequency content of asignal is tied to the choice of sampling frequency; sampling frequency, f s , must begreater than twice the maximum frequency content, f max , of the signal. This will ensurethat the signal can be reconstructed without the occurrence of aliasing. Aliasing is adistortion in a signal that is caused when higher frequency components of the signaloverlap with the lower frequency

With respect to engagement and increasing the value of the lectures, one of the objectives ofusing the ARS was to keep the students awake and active during lectures. Hence, students wereasked to respond to a series of questions, during the lecture, within groups of 3-4 students.Typical questions utilized were of a form similar to: “Within your group, what do you think willbe the most important area(s) of contribution in engineering in your lifetime?”, “How do we gettotal work, W, from the previous equation for dW?”, or “For your project, are you going to need s2to solve ∫ dW = ∫ (|| F ( x) ||)(cos(θ ( x))d || x || ?”.
