an account. One user could be an instructor,student, teaching assistant, librarian, or some combination of these roles, e.g., one user can be ateaching assistant in course A and a student in course B. Users are managed in an organizationtree according to their roles. This organization tree is similar to a “buddy list” in standard instantmessenger systems (e.g., Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger); however, these roles are pre-defined to reflect a given user’s participation and skill. We plan to use roles to let users tocontact group members without seeking a particular person, e.g., to find an available librarian.

As you reflect on the lists, you will recognize that each course has its own special term for ageneric concept. You will find definitions in Figure 2 for the bold-faced terms used in the previ-ous paragraphs.The Accounting PrincipleThe underlying organizing principle for this approach is what I will refer to as the accountingprinciple. The key ideas here are that every system has associated with it numerous extensiveproperties and that the behavior of the system can be determined by monitoring changes in theseproperties. Any change in an extensive property within the system can be

reflective behaviour thatis at the heart of the liberal endeavour. But they also illustrate how complex thebehaviour of groups, let alone individuals is. It is consoling, therefore, to find that manyyears after these relatively simple pieces of qualitative and quantitative (survey) research,(with the odd bit of psychometrics thrown in), and all its limitations, the researchpublished since 1990 particularly in the US persuaded Pascarella and Terenzini “morethan ever that students’ in- and out-of-class lives are interconnected in complex ways weare only beginning to understan.”[40, p 603].Notes and references[1] The description given here is simplified

the amount of faculty workload in, teaching and research8. Althoughvariation in faculty workload between teaching and research is healthy for ensuring qualityeducation in the classroom, as well as quality research productivity, variation in faculty rewardsdoes not reflect this variation in faculty workload8, 9, 10. When compared to the typical,quantitative reward system for research, which is based on funding and publication productivity,evaluation of teaching is difficult because of its qualitative and subjective nature and is oftenlimited to student course evaluations despite other available evaluation methods1, 4.In addition, „balancing‟ is an elusive and subjective concept. The balance between teaching andresearch can be defined and

An able and committed lecturer can accomplish the following: 1. Relate the material proficiently and effectively, in a manner that reflects lecturer’s personal conviction and grasp of the subject matter; 2. Provide students with a thoughtful, scholarly role model to emulate; 3.

Isometric sketching accuracy and ability.On-Going Plans and ChallengesThe curriculum used in the ASV seminar concentrated on skills which are frequently used inCAD (e.g., isometric views, rotation, reflection, Boolean operations). A sample of civil andmechanical engineering freshmen who took a CAD course in Fall 2010 will re-take the PVST:Rin Spring 2011 to see if there has been any improvement in performance. If so, the CAD classesmay be an excellent place to integrate spatial visualization instruction into the existing content.Incoming freshmen for the 2011-12 school year will be given the same PVST:R during Summerorientation to gather additional data about student skill level.The most significant challenge faced in the USC implementation was low

the piston. As with the Newcomen pump, the balancing ofthe pump, piston and beam caused the piston to rise due to gravity. The cycle was repeated. Thefirst two strokes were operated manually. Then trips on the plug rod to the air pump controlled thevalve sequencing. A noteworthy feature included an air pump operated by the rocking beam thatdrew non-condensable gases out of the condenser. 25 Watt’s early engines worked on steampressures similar to Newcomen’s. Pressures higher than about 7 psi above atmospheric were rarelyused. 26 This situation reflects the state of boiler strength to avoid rupture and the ability of glandseals and piston rings to minimize leakage.Watt described the performance of an engine at Wheal Butson in 1792.

Other suggestions for improvement weresetting up a scholarship for STEP participants and also providing assistance for STEP students toline up an internship.Program Challenges Recruitment The CCs have an unresolved challenge in that it is difficult to recruit students to enter theSTEP project.

This obviously affects how social entrepreneurs perceive and assess opportunities. Mission-related impact becomes the central criterion, not wealth creation. Wealth is just a means to an end for social entrepreneurs.” … “It is inherently difficult to measure social value creation. How much social value is created by reducing pollution in a given stream, by saving the spotted owl, or by providing companionship to the elderly? The calculations are not only hard but also contentious. Even when improvements can be measured

through the design sequence. Students learn to work and communicate in both small (2-4), medium (5-7), and large (10+) engineering teams, as an effective member of these design teams, and to work on the process as a team as well as learn to develop and execute a design plan. Individually, students should begin to understand their strengths and weaknesses, be able to reflect on the process and grow. Communication is emphasized and practiced throughout the design sequence through regular submission of memos and technical reports, and frequent technical presentations. Students learn how to compose a proposal, memo, report, technical paper, and technical presentation as well as how to project their professional image through a resume

Second, yourteammates will be painfully aware of your level of participation and this will be reflected in thepeer evaluations at mid-semester and at the end of the semester.Homework Policy: This is a projects course and the “homework” will be project reports,briefings, analyses, trade studies, etc., as are appropriate for each specific project. Reports andprojects are listed below under Deliverables.Peer Evaluation: You will be required to evaluate each member of your design team (includingyourself) twice during the semester.

degree is course based. Whilepartnerships and articulation agreements exist to assist with this transfer process, the pathwaystend to be institutionally course focused. The arrangement of courses is appropriate whenstudents stay at one institution for the entire baccalaureate program. Changes in the field can bereadily reflected in adjustments to the curriculum while the student is studying at the university.Unfortunately, this is not the case when the student transfers among institutions. To amelioratethese issues, the traditional articulated foundation curriculum tends to be overloaded with anabundance of challenging courses in the later semesters.The tuning process is based on a body of knowledge and skills to be acquired across the four
