buoyancy project inspired by a more in-depth project byGoodrich and McWilliams [8], tasked the students with mathematically modeling a conceptual designbefore physically evaluating its performance. In addition, the project incorporated a number of keyconcepts (e.g., independent vs. dependent variables, uncertainty in measurements, significant figures,developing an experimental test plan) that had been taught in a lecture format in previous iterations ofthe course.Like many of the course assignments, the buoyancy project was authentically situated – in this case, anenvironmental group requested assistance with the design of a Sustainable, reConfigurable, AquaticLiving Environment (SCALE), which consisted of five modular “pods” that were to be

. However, they do so without any formal lectures or assignments and simplyout of necessity to make their implementation process easier. With that in mind, my colleaguesand I are planning on designing an intermediate Verilog class focused on many of the conceptshighlighted in the previous paragraph. Unlike the introductory computer engineering coursedescribed in this paper, the course will focus solely on Verilog. The lectures will cover Verilogsyntax, best practices, synthesis, etc. and the students must implement all of the homeworkassignments and projects in Verilog to give them more and more practice. We plan to roll out thisintermediate Verilog course in the near future and intend to study the course in a similar manneras the study described

Barium is a primary contaminant and must meet the new DEP limitsthat went from 4mg/l to 2mg/l. The well is a secondary water supply with springs being theprimary water source. Why is the Barium level elevated? What are the options to treat theelevated Barium level? What are the costs with each option?2) PROJECT2

Our study’s goal is to test the efficacy of incorporating commercially available web-based MLM content into introductory physics courses at Wentworth Institute of Technology, a small program that offers terminal bachelors in engineering. The study will be separated into the following two stages: stage one will consist of two professors instructing calculus-based Engineering Physics I and II, both with and without MLMs from various providers.

A formal writing exercise was given in theform of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) assignment which included a peer–review session prior to final grading. A reflective writing exercise was included to summarizelearning experiences through classroom and writing activities throughout the semester to identifyareas of strengths and weaknesses and accomplishments and pitfalls and areas/topics for futuredevelopment.Student learning experiences and the effectiveness of writing exercises were discussed.

When we began planning forour third year, we felt that we needed more data to better understand how participants were reacting to ourprogramming, especially when taking into account the significant changes we were proposing. More specif-ically, our prior survey framework was limiting our understanding of whether or not we were truly helpingparticipants improve their familiarity and preparedness to become competitive in the faculty job market. Inother words, we wondered if individual sessions were beneficial to participants in terms of enhancing theirpreparation of faculty materials and contributed to their overall familiarity.In this paper, we expand our program evaluation significantly in the third year by

In order to evaluate andassess new experiments and projects, prior to introducing them in our curriculum, we use summerprograms with different students to develop content and test learning objectives. We introduce thenew topics to a cohort of students of diverse cultural background from local and internationalstudents. Our methodology is similar for the curricular development of each program (Figure 1)and consists of four main and distinct stages: (1) planning and administrative preparation, (2)content development and small-scale testing, (3) deployment and daily student assessment, (4)reflections, modifications and adjustments for a final course implementation.

uncomfortable misconceptionthat learners are dependent, and in order to participate in a learning activity, they must assume adependent role [6]. This defensive stance can be exacerbated when the learners are faced withunfamiliar technology such as a distance education learning environment [7], [8]. Since adultsare self-directed, this misconception must be overcome by treating the adults with respect byenvironmental considerations such as comfortable and adult-appropriate learning spaces, as wellas behavioral considerations such as the instructor treating the learners as partners rather thandependent learners [6].

Two of the key outcomes of engineering education are: to prepare engineeringstudents to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems, and to apply engineeringdesign to produce solutions [1]. Traditional assessment methods including exams, quizzes, andhomework assignments are primarily designed to measure the effectiveness of engineeringcurriculum in skill development. However, having the skills alone does not ensure that studentswill be successful through the engineering program, as well as in their future careers. An importantelement of success is to

This is accomplished by electronic cams. The inversekinetic analysis, which includes masses, center-of-mass locations, and mass moments of inertia,is used to generate the required actuator torque / force for the motion profile, and results in aspeed / torque-force diagram on which to base actuator selection. The chosen actuator nowbecomes part of the system, and, with the updated system, a control system, with feedback andfeedforward control, is designed, which then results in a new speed

Wehope to complete these works by next year.CONCLUSIONIn this work, we parallelized the sampling step of the SMC algorithm and were able to achieve up to 25%speedup in the runtime when using a machine with 8 cores. Currently, the convenience of converting aserial program to parallel and availability of multicore machines makes it quite sensible that the firstapproach to make any algorithm efficient is to take advantage of parallel computing. In the future, we planto run experiments in multi-cluster machines. We also plan to consider modifying the algorithm so that itcan

Multiple sensors are introduced atthis level with full descriptions of the circuits, the voltage, amperage, and power requirements.Time is spent educating the students on deciphering the sensor datasheets. Level 2 modules(modules 4-5) involve less detailed instruction sets with references to Level 1 circuit diagrams,constraints and procedures. In level 2 modules students need to plan an experiment anddetermine the necessary procedure to complete the experiment and attain the learning objectivesof the module.

to being comprehensive, the search must betransparent and reproducible; it is common to have the search strategy for a systematic reviewundergo peer review by another librarian before searching is carried out. This emphasis onquality search has led to the adoption of a variety of librarian roles in the execution of asystematic review. A 2018 scoping review ​[19]​ identified eighteen roles filled by librarians insystematic reviews. In addition to the expected roles of searching, source selection, andevaluation, the authors also documented librarians acting in planning, question formulation andpeer review roles. The roles described are not mutually exclusive; often a librarian will take onseveral of these roles as part of a given systematic
