, and applying concepts to real lifeexperiences. This paper provides some critical thinking techniques and suggests that in acapstone course using the multi-stage approach encourages students to think more critically. IntroductionFor engineering technology students to be successful in their careers they must have necessaryknowledge as well as critical thinking skills. These skills are sharpened to a degree during thecollege years through various activities such as lectures, assignments, laboratory assignments,and effective grading techniques. However, critical thinking is the art of analyzing andevaluating thinking with a view of improving it. Faculty members who tried to incorporatecritical thinking as

Criteria for inclusion in the program include: successfulcompletion of a bioinformatics-related course, enrollment in a primarily undergraduateinstitution (PUI) in Southern California, and interest in pursuing graduate studies inbioinformatics. To ensure a diverse cohort of students, women, black, latinx, Native American,and LGBTQ+ students are especially encouraged to apply. The facilities, research environment and research techniques at the foreign research siteare unique in the world. SciLifeLab is home to over 1,500 researchers across more than

In addition tothere being a need for this type of program, it was thought that having an intensive hands-onprogram would result in graduates who are better prepared to enter the workforce.

The type of class affected on-line student learning and preferences. Classeswith little or no laboratory content, such as Industrial Safety (MET 424) and Manufacturing Proceedings of the 2010 ASEE North Midwest Sectional ConferenceResource Planning and Control (MET 407) gave results similar to or slightly better than face-to-face classes (See Figure 2): Instructional Evaluation MET

However, atpresent, high-resolution time-frequency representation technique provides a naturaldomain for analyzing and processing such non-stationary data. This technique canmeasure the local changes in frequency and scale content of a signal in the data set. Inthis paper we present the applications of this advanced signal processing and analysistechnique to solve problems related to geophysical seismic data especially applicable tohydrocarbon exploration and prospecting. One of the latest digital signal processing toolsis MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory), from MathCAD, which can be used to analyze,interpret, and process seismic data to specialized graphics features required inengineering and scientific

fuels, alternative methods of producing energyare being researched heavily. One of the forerunners in the research and development ofalternative fuels is the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL)2. Convertingsolid feedstock into a gaseous fuel increases the opportunity to use biomass as an energysource. One conversion process NREL uses is the Thermo-Chemical ProcessDevelopment Unit (TCPDU)3, shown below in Figure 1. Figure 1 TCPDUAlthough the TCPDU has many elements within it, its conversion process is not difficultat all. First of all, biomass (which can range from peanut shells to sawdust) is fed into theFluidized Bed Reactor (FBR). Here the biomass is heated without the presence of an
