Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles (MAVs), control of bio

The assignments are designed to motivate students to engage in higher-level thinking.Vignettes, i.e. short videos, describing each challenge and emphasizing the important role thatengineers play in solving these challenges, were recorded. In addition, detailed writtendescriptions of the Units were developed. Students use the vignettes and reference materials todecide which Elective Unit(s) they wish to study. They then have the opportunity to devote fourweeks of the semester, roughly one Carnegie unit of effort, to the exploration of the topic bymaking use of the cyberinfrastructure.The goals of the project are to increase the commitment of engineering students to the

The E-field is created by conducting a 90ºpulse from each of the four pads on the device. This E-field is illustrated in figure 10 belowbased on Chengjun Huang’s research, and also cells trapped in the E-field can be seen in figure113. This precise 90º pulse is what allows the trapping of cells to be possible. If rotation occursit can be observed under a microscope. This is called electrorotation. The middle of each gridshould have no charge, but the E-field surrounding the cell(s) should hold them within thecharged electric fields.Figure 9: Empty devise with an empty grid created by the 2

However, there is a reasonable percentage where the source(s) of the error havenot been identified, but appear to be related to specific computer and operating systemcombinations. The error(s) are not resolved when we have tried installing more recent versionsof OrCAD PSpice on these computers.

We developed ourscheme to define a higher-quality question to be one that requires or demonstrates higher-levelthinking to answer – such as a question about understanding how or why something happens, ora question probing extension of knowledge to a new application – as opposed to a question thatcould be answered by a simple definition, or a procedural explanation of how to complete a task.Our taxonomy was approximately hierarchical, in which
