supported a cyclic model as matching with what their teams hadexperienced. An important advantage of HSE over other learning environments is that the long-term nature of HSE projects (at least one school-year in duration, often longer) allows studentstime to reflect on “where they are” in a model such as that in Figure 8. With coaches that arefluent in the elementary language and tools of design, and thus able to navigate a more complexmodel of the design process, there will be many more opportunities to teach real aspects ofdesign than in programs with very tight time schedules.After this introduction, there was a group activity that compared three very different types ofstaple removers in a systematic way.13 The three staple removers and sheets

This opinion is reflected in the courses developed.

The Solar Pathfinder,a popular instrument to measure shading was used in this study. It contains a convex transparentdome placed over a sun path chart. When properly oriented, the reflection of the dome provides acomprehensive solar/shade evaluation for the entire year. Several pictures were taken by thePathfinder from different sites of the proposed locations. Each picture was then analyzed by theSolar Pathfinder Assistant program to determine the site

While there are still engineers,scientists and policy wonks who sit quietly in their labs and offices thinking deep thoughts, theimpact will come from those who can critically approach challenges, work with others andeffectively communicate both the nature of that challenge and its potential solutions to a widegroup of decision makers.

Others have expressed similar concerns that the ease with which millennialstudents routinely engage in multitasking behaviors, enabled in part using technology, hasshortened their collective attention span. Finally, having completed primary and secondarycurricula that may unintentionally encourage rote learning, these students may lack the skillsnecessary to be critical thinkers or demonstrate introspection and self-reflection.”5“Millennial students are inclined to be more

If a student identified that political stakeholders influence sanitation options, this was considered an advanced response.≠ Basic: Basic responses reflect course concepts from either the prerequisite course, the wastewater course or both. For example, “regulations” and “treatment processes” were covered in the prerequisite class.≠ Incorrect: An inaccurate technical or non-viable nontechnical response was considered incorrect. For example, students suggested that “time” and “cleanliness” are sanitation issues in developed countries.For both scoring schemes, responses were double scored and averaged for subsequent analysis.The first scoring was completed by the course instructor, the second by

It may take a while to graduallychange the perceptions that both genders have about their relative abilities, but if project basedlearning is a regular part of the science curriculum, we will have produced students who aremore experienced, more confident and more informed about the everyday activities of STEMcareers. This has the potential to gradually erase the disparity between the genders in scientificand technical arenas.

We are in the business of creating a total environment, delivering an ex- perience, gaining satisfied customers. The classroom reflects this.40So, in a tacit arrangement, agreeable to both buyers and sellers, grade inflation serves as an ersatzproxy for the high academic achievement customers demand as part of the “experience” theypurchase so dearly.25, 34, 41 Branding has made un-inflated grades obsolete.
