SHA is a family ofcryptographic hash functions that the National Institute of Standards and Technology beganpublishing in the early 1960’s. SHAvisual is designed to help students learn and instructorsteach the SHA-512 algorithm. It consists of three major components: Demo Mode, PracticeMode and Full Mode. A separate global view window helps highlight the current procedure inthe algorithm pipeline. The Demo Mode provides a simplified SHA-512 visualization and isuseful for the instructor to demonstrate important operations in the classroom. The PracticeMode is designed for students to learn the

Acase study of two teams at a public university in the central U. S. was performed, with theobjective of exploring leadership development at the individual and team levels.

In 2011 women’s employment in STEM was 27% (downfrom 34% in 1990) with women most underrepresented in engineering at 13% (this number roseto 15% by 2013).16,27Compared to white men, women faculty are less likely to work at prestigious universities orresearch universities, and more likely to hold assistant-professor, associate professor, and non-tenure track positions.14,30 In fact, in 2011 only 9% of full professors in engineering werewomen.17 In regards to academic commercialization this is especially

two have known defects. How close the student reviewer comes tothe instructor’s rating of these three artifacts determines the reviewer’s reviewercompetency index, and the RCI is used to weight the reviewer’s scores in a calculation ofthe author’s grade. The Coursera MOOC platform employs a takeoff on this strategy: astudent is asked to rate one actual student submission, which has also been rated by aninstructor. If the student’s rating is “close enough,” the student is allowed to assesspeers’ work. Otherwise, the student is given another pre-rated artifact to assess. If thestudent’s score is “close enough,” (s)he is allowed to go on to assess peers; otherwise, theprocess is repeated up until the fifth attempt, after which the student

In particular, there is value in structuring an instructional innovation such that instructors identify the need in their own classrooms and potential mechanisms to address that need. Within this structure, instructors retain autonomy in deciding which evidence-based practice(s) will address a need in their courses without requiring infeasible levels of change. In this paper, we consider a study in which instructors participated in ongoing faculty development through which they selected and implemented an evidence-based teaching innovation in their classrooms. We focus on the factors that influence the pedagogical choices faculty make when they are given an array of

flow rates of gases, e.g. air. As a result, wepurchased inexpensive turbine anemometers, designed and marketed to measure windspeeds. We found rotary vane anemometers with a precision of 0.1 m/s for a cost of 30dollars. However, obtaining accurate air velocity measurements with these rotary vaneanemometers requires a tight fit between the anemometer turbine shroud and theexperiment’s outlet, and a careful accounting of cross-sectional flow area through theanemometer.To measure pressure in all experiments, liquid (water) manometers were molded into theflow hardware. In this way, the pressure drop along the pipe flow experiment and thepressure drop and recovery through the Venturi nozzle are easily visualized as waterheights in liquid columns
