These classes were smaller and had between 15 and 20students.The 200-level students who enrolled in Physics I and Physics II were most often 1st or 2nd yearengineering majors, with 10-20 per semester. There were usually between 2 and 6 students frombiology, chemistry, or biochemistry who planned to pursue professional programs in medicine,dentistry, or optometry.

Assurance in Engineering Education in China4.1 Active participation in domestic program accreditation of engineering educationThe earliest evaluation practice①of engineering education in China started in 1992. TheDegree Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education commissioned theMinistry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to take charge of the organization andmanagement. The National Education Evaluation Committee for Architecture Education wasresponsible for the evaluation of architecture program. Subsequently, it carried out evaluationwork in civil engineering, urban and rural planning, built environment and energy applicationengineering, water supply and drainage science and engineering, and engineeringmanagement.In March

[1]. Assessment of every aspect of curricular, co-curricular, and larger educational environmental aspects is the norm. Evidence-based decision-making leads those working in every aspect of higher education today to seek out or deviseassessment tools and plans to observe efficacy and introduce well-considered evidence-basedchanges where room for improvement in outcomes seems indicated. The National Survey ofStudent Engagement, or NSSE, is a widely applied instrument in the U.S. and Canada. NSSEallows participating institutions to get a periodic high-level snapshot of how their incoming First-year and near-graduation (Senior) students compare to one another, and compare to those fromother similar institutions, in their self-perceptions of

The basic front panel in Figure 7 is shown operating infeedback mode, where the duty cycle is adjusting automatically to force the output voltage tomatch the target value. Note that a planned enhancement to this program also provides the userwith the ability to vary feedback gain and modality to study the effects of stability and settlingtime. Again, by implementing all of the control algorithms in software, these changes areexpedited compared to a hardware-only implementation.

In ASGM communities, these have includedmercury detoxification programs [19], territorial local planning that keeps ASGM away fromwatersheds [20], the desire of groups that have been discriminated to organize to gain voice andpower [21], etc. For these type of positive adaptations to occur, communities must exhibit thefollowing characteristics: Collective self-esteem (love who you are as a community); Culturalidentity (know who you are as a community); Social humor (be able to laugh at who you are);and State honesty (transparency between local/state government and communities) [14].

One student commented to the instructorthat she loves to dance and to create and to see how dancing and programming could worktogether was great. This experience supported prior research by the authors that a hands-on,project-based learning approach in a computing camp strengthens teamwork and problemsolving skills [13].Future plans including offering this approach in other computing camps for elementary girls.Having a larger sample size will enable more data collection and assessment of the

Theauthor intends to draw on Foucault’s interpretation of Bentham’s panopticon. These are not one-to-one analogies as the instructor does not offer a “performance” in the lecture hall nor is theobserving instructor invisible to the students in the computer lab as she would be in apanopticon.

The participants should be required to pre-read the materials and to complete pre-workshopactivities to explore their own problems. Also, workshop leaders should communicate the entirecourse content to the participants in advance of the workshop, allowing for modifications.

We operationalized impact using London’s [7] framework to capture our scientific, societal, and contextual impact. As individuals, we completed reflections describing the impact we had, the areas we wanted to impact, and the strategic or intentional actions we planned to take to accomplish our goals. We subsequently discussed how our proposed impacts evolved based on our experiences. Reflexivity The purpose of this activity was to expand our understanding of the

This means that despite our best intentions, there is a misalignmentbetween the way LSM topics are covered and how KI modules are planned, resulting in studentsnot being adequately prepared to make the most of the KI activities. Thus, there is a need totailor the way in which the LSM content is delivered to ensure that not only is the contentcoverage adequate and timely but also that the students are being better trained in the higherlevel skills of learning.

The validation plan of the frame structure is to first, print both a 15% infill, andhollow frame parts to compare print times, and resulting quality [11]. Then fill the hollow framepart with epoxy and allow to cure. After curing is complete, a flexural test can be conducted onthe frame sections to verify the difference in deflection between fill parameters.Design of a 3D Printer FrameA basic 3D printer was designed with the objective
