Faculty reflections on their flipping experiences also provided useful guidance for thedevelopment of training materials. Some of the most useful comments include the following: • Developing and testing a variety of materials provided useful information as to what activities and digital formats worked best for the class. • Move away from in-class activities and clickers to project-based software tool that focused on application greatly enhanced the course. • Utilize mini-lectures and in-class examples when

It also affects the way we do the actual design details.For example, we have a relatively new option within our generic engineering program calledHumanitarian Engineeing.21 This program is about doing engineering for the benefit of the poorpeople of the world. The entire motivation for this program is based upon an approach to virtueand character which assumes that those of us who are more privileged have an obligation to useour engineering skills to help others.There are many co-curricular ways that we can develop character. We have an active group,Engineers with a Mission (EWAM), which leads students on engineering service project trips indeveloping countries. For example, one of the authors has been with our students

Another form of SI consisted oflecturer-led review sessions, which were commonly held before exams in order to reviewmaterial, answer questions, and help students prepare for exams.MethodologyAll data were taken from (1) an IRB-approved survey administered to students enrolled inGeneral Chemistry for Engineers during the Fall 2015 semester and (2) grade and

The reconnection is scaffolded by the multimedia and sound pedagogy, but it iscarried out by the students themselves. The model we present blends critical and established findings inbrain and learning science with multimedia, shared screen feedback, and other digital tools tosignificantly alter what can be called the attention intensity of the course. Students are more engagedboth in and out of class time with course material, and instructors can direct attention to the particulars ofeach student’s unique concept-building journey.

Meanwhile, thecooling system has a less heat input, which results a deficiency in desalination plant andanaerobic tank. In the future research, the methane can be used for the biogas-based powerplant. It can increase the production of electricity and remedy the imbalance of electricityoutput. In future research, the project will focus on optimizing the performance ofhybridization and the subsequent consumption of biogas.Reference[1] Pérez-Higueras, P., High Concentrator Photovoltaics: Fundamentals, Engineering andPower Plants (Green Energy and Technology) 1st ed.

For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience. So after graduating in 2015 with a microbiology doctorate, she trekked to the Pacific coast to study science communication at the University of California, Santa Cruz. There

, 2012). Considering the innovation-driven and knowledge-based nature of the U.S. economy,employment opportunities in STEM are projected to increase at a much faster rate than those innon-STEM occupations (CIC, 2014). Also, employees in STEM occupations have and shouldcontinue to experience higher average salaries and lower unemployment rates than theircontemporaries in non-STEM fields (CIC, 2014; Daymont & Andrisani, 1984; Wise, 1975). Inspite of the aforementioned perquisites of working in STEM fields, however, the United Statescontinues to severely lack individuals with the qualifications needed to assume these jobs (CIC,2014; U.S. CJEC, 2012). The insufficiency of the U.S. STEM workforce partially derives fromtwo major factors: 1

Whilegeneralizability was not the goal of the project, we did find saturation of unique knowledge andsketching behaviors after a relatively low number of participants (N=15). This is good news foreducators of small and big class sizes who wish to do a similar exploratory analysis since thepool we recruited from was typical of a large research-focused university (>300 per semester).Third, constant comparative analysis allows us to build a robust theory by using broad (problemsolving strategies) and narrow (specific knowledge pieces) scopes that complement each other
