Through this NSFWIDER Program sponsored planning project, a team of faculty and administrators at AlabamaAgricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) are implementing evidence-based instructionalpractices in foundation courses in STEM curricula. Recognizing that it is essential to implementeffective pedagogy in gateway courses where most attrition occurs, this project has conducted apilot study, which focuses on: (1) collecting baseline data about the extent to which evidence-based practices are currently being used in STEM gateway courses; (2) redesigning threefoundational gateway courses in

The conductor's demeanor and physical appearance are important in building and maintaining rapport with the performers, and as such are important aspects of the conductor’s physical performance. However, the critical information about when to perform – tempo and its modifications, cuing and ensemble entrainment, and how to perform – interpretation of dynamics and changes of dynamics, attack and release variables, what we lump under the word "style," are communicated largely independent of demeanor and physical

Students at WPIenroll in four seven-week terms during each academic year. The Plan allows students openchoice in course work and requires them to complete three significant undergraduaterequirements: the Inquiry Seminar which is a humanities and arts course with a significantwriting requirement, typically completed in the second year, the Interactive Qualifying Project(IQP), which is the subject of our work here, typically completed in the third year, and the MajorQualifying Project (MQP) which is a project completed in the students’ major area

By giving deliberate attention to theengineering identity development of our students we can help participate in these three processesin ways that result in the more inclusive attitudes and practices that are needed in modernengineering. We plan to shape our students’ perceptions of engineers and engineering byshowing them that in order to do their work engineers must learn a variety of skills.

However,these activities are limited in the types of views and planes that can be visualized, and are alsodifficult to scale to large-lecture situations. One alternative is to use the plan view, which showsspecific slices through a unit cell and provides information about crystal symmetry [5]. Thisclarifies atomic positions for students, but does not allow students to visualize any plane of theirselection.Computer-based activities can provide students with more flexibility in manipulating structures.In 1996, Foley [6] developed a computer program, CrystalVis, to teach students about
