other words, the experience of relationality and ethical concern are ontologically priorto defining engineering’s role in a given moment. Returning to one of our recent publications [1],I would argue that we first feel and experience what is going on before we can reflectively thinkabout such experience. We feel and experience relationships with all that we encounter in a givenevent, and we are affected by those encounters. Responsibilities, obligations, and valuations arisetherefrom. In being affected by the multiplicity within an encounter, there is significant potentialfor conflict and difficulties associated with assigning/identifying value(s). Once the experienceoccurs, we objectify it, mine it for information, and seek to address it

to switching sources. 2. AN EXAMPLE OF A LEAD COMPLEX: PLATTERNITE. Lead pipes are made of Pb0. This form of solid lead is readily oxidized to many lead compounds, including plattnerite (PbO2(s)). When lead pipe is stored above ground, a layer of PbO 2(s) can form before the pipe is installed. When exposed to water, PbO 2(s) can be reduced to Pb2+ which is soluble in water. (a) Write the redox half reaction for the reduction of PbO 2(s) to Pb2+. (b) Write the redox half reaction for the oxidation of H 2O to O2. (c) Write the overall chemical reaction for the conversion of PbO 2(s) to Pb2+ in the presence of H2O. 3. PREVENTING LEAD LEACHING WITH ORTHOPHOSPHATE. Orthophosphate can (and should

The document in the meantime has been updated threetimes to date and will be an ongoing reminder to vary questions, to think about creative ways tohave students think about the material from different angles, to find parallels in their own lives,and to apply historical examples to current situations. Students are free to consult their neighborsand their phones but at the end of class have to hand in a small chit with their answer(s) to theTAs for the course.

Afteranalyzing the latest version of student outcomes from Boyatsiz’s perspective, we can say thatmost of the outcomes match with the

Experiential Learning: A Handbook of Best Practice for Educators andTrainers: This type of learning occurs when students participate in some activity, reflect upon the activity, use their analytical skills to derive some useful insight from the experience, and then incorporate their new understanding(s) into their daily lives. What experiential learning does best is capture the interest and involvement of the participants, but most importantly it contributes significantly to the transfer of learning.Instructional InterventionTo implement EL learning in a degree program, faculty need to be made aware of theexperiential criteria so they can design an appropriate and effective EL course.

The high attrition rate of African Americans from the STEMpipeline has been identified as a greater barrier to increased representation than their attraction to non-quantitative Page 12.1198.2fields.

The University of Washington’sCenter for Workforce Development (CWD), formerly Women in Science and Engineering(WiSE), developed a mentoring program for STEM female graduate students interested infaculty careers in the 1990’s. Subsequently, the mentoring program has evolved to reach out tounderrepresented minorities interested in faculty careers and to all graduate students interested incareers in the field of nanotechnology. Students are matched with a faculty or industry mentor,based on their needs and interests. The program focuses on both the psychosocial andinstrumental career development needs of graduate students.

These are applicable to the undergraduatedesign as well – the trick is to find new and innovative ways to awaken the inner curiosity of thestudents. For at least one of the graduate student authors, whose goal is a career in academia,this take home message was an invaluable one.Dealing with the UninterestedOne particular student on author 1’s team was almost entirely not interested in participating inFLL. This was very frustrating to the teacher as well as the mentor.
