it is the nature of lecturing on anew topic that interested the students. The spring group was a closer-knit cohort, so that may bean important factor. Regardless, normalizing the expectations would help keep all studentsengaged at an appropriate level.This one small class was not enough students to do a quantitative assessment of learning. Also,the specific assessment and dissemination to others of this model was an afterthought, so onlythe normal scheduled assessments were initially done. A follow-up with three students a yearlater did elucidate and reiterate some of the observations. Future offerings, or use of this modelin other courses, will include a more formal assessment.Summary and RecommendationsThe graduate research model appeared

This paper presents these insights along with supportingprogram evaluation findings.IntroductionThe National Science Foundation (NSF) provides a significant amount of funding to supportundergraduate student research in engineering and science through its Research Experience forUndergraduates (REU) program. The REU program, initially established in 1987, increase accessto research opportunities to underrepresented minority students and students coming from nonresearch-focused undergraduate institutions[1].

As part ofthis method, student illustrators met with the creative director and the client initially to assessproject scope, and analyze the client’s needs, before proposing their own creative solution. Takingcues from science based comics strip, The Far Side by Gary Larson [18], students chose to usecartooning and humor as a method of making a STEM subject more universally palatable.

Topics of interest include computer science pedagogy, collabo- rative learning in college students, and human-centered design. Of particular interest are the development and application of instructional practices that provide benefits secondary to learning (i.e., in addition to learning), such as those that facilitate in learners increased self-efficacy, increased retention/graduation rate, increased matriculation into the workforce, and/or development of professional identity.Mr. William Rigoberto Mercado, University of South Carolina I am an undergraduate at the University

In South Asia the Sir J.J School ofArchitecture (originally called the Government College of Art) in Bombay was the first modern schoolto introduce a structured course in architecture.

While prior work has thoroughlyarticulated the technical issues in these flawed design criteria [1], [3], the present work aims tosupport formal study of how engineers recognize and treat variability, with an eye towardsunderstanding how the aforementioned flaws evaded notice for over a half-century.In this work, we present a novel theoretical framework and initial empirical results.
