In fact, many outreaches by this service group can become a centerpiece fordiscussion of engineering, science, and mathematics concepts in a realistic context. With anappropriate introduction to water purification, students can be asked to: Draw a model of the water purification system. Use Bernoulli's Principle in context. o Consider two points: one at the collection point (A) and one at an arbitrary fountain (B). Bernoulli's principle relates the water pressure (p), gravitational velocity (g), velocity (v), density ( ) and height above some reference height (z). According to Bernoulli, these quantities will stay constant

We expect that the ability to capture and process actual real-world signalsusing their own hardware will be particularly impactful for many of our students. Due to therelatively large tunable bandwidth, students can explore a large range of the RF spectrum and“see” signals such as FM radio, digital television, amateur radio, GPS, and commercial aircraftADS-B transmission.For the purposes of our course, the mobile studio consists of the following:  An RTL-SDR and stock antenna.  A modern laptop computer running Windows.  Supporting software packages, including o

Sternberg andLubart6, 10 point out that according to their investment theory, creativity requires a confluence ofsix distinct but interrelated resources: intellectual abilities, knowledge, styles of thinking,personality, motivation, and environment. Although levels of these resources are sources ofindividual differences, often the decision to use a resource is a more important source ofindividual differences:1. Intellectual skills. Three intellectual skills are particularly important: (a) the synthetic skill to see problems in new ways and to escape the bounds of conventional thinking, (b) the analytic skill to recognize which of one’s ideas are worth

themachieve a more in-depth understanding of the material (rather than just memorizing information).Since teaching requires a basic understanding of the material and a plan for conveying thismaterial, teachers often learn by (a) reviewing: working with the material while preparing toteach another, and (b) reformulating: organizing the content in a meaningful way that associatesthe material with what the student already knows. Research suggests that learning by teachingalso helps improve communication skills and that it provides the students with an opportunity toexperience realistic social interactions while applying their content knowledge in an appropriatelearning environment5, 10.Description of the Systems Physiology LaboratoryThe Systems
