This training includes all levels of staff, theteachers, along with the engineering undergraduate counselors and the high school assistantcounselors. The agenda begins with a team builder activity and presentation on campus safety forminor participants. Teachers are split up into their specific camps where they review theiragendas with the help of the counselors that have been working the previous week in establishingtest protocols, test fixtures and change management communication plans.

The project combines ultrasonic welding ofplastics, robotics, force sensors, rapid prototyping, thermal imaging and image processing in apractical demonstration of an industrially-important automated plastics manufacturingtechnology. An ultrasonic horn attached to the end of a robotic arm can be programmed to spotweld or seam weld acrylic parts. The process is monitored and optimized using a thermalimaging camera and a force sensor.Introduction and Background

In all, there were 576 students enrolled in these courses and 10 individuals elected toparticipate with a 1.7% response rate, much lower than desired and anticipated. Because thenumber of participants was lower than desired in Phase I, the recruitment plan for Spring 2018was revised to include participation incentives - $5.00 restaurant gift cards to a nearby fast foodrestaurant offered to ​all ​individuals who agree to participate as well as a chance to win one of six$25 gift cards to the campus bookstore.

In this paper, domain-general(Connectedness, Value), domain-specific (Perceptions of the Future, Present on Future, Futureon Present), and context-specific constructs (Perceived Instrumentality) were considered. Ingeneral, Value, often termed valence, is the “anticipated subjective value”[14] (p. 567) of futuregoals for a person; thus students may place a higher value or hold one goal in higher regard thananother goal. The second domain-general FTP construct, Connectedness, is “general feeling ofconnectedness to and planfulness about the future” [15] (p. 116). Perceived Instrumentality (PI)[15]–[17] is a context-specific variation of connectedness

If the studentsdo not understand what the GRE consists of, then the rest of the workshop will not provideadditional benefit for the student.

First, the total rectangular areaof the course was accurately measured and divided to twelve equal rectangles.

Another member of the group documents the discussion and adds itto a folder accessible by all leaders in the class.

The extensive planning necessary to flip a classroommeans that a detailed schedule of topics is typically available to the students at the outset of thecourse. That detailed schedule proves invaluable when students plan how to best work on theproject. One drawback of problem-based learning is that students report spending more timeworking on the course [19] which increases the time requirements on an already crowded studentschedule. However, this is offset by the use of the flipped format as students spend approximately20 % less time outside of

Furthermore, this reiterates the need to consider the key theories when researching EEPs,specifically student participation for our case. To identify the key theories, the documentedtheories were assessed for their level of use based on the number of times they were cited in the359 articles.
