, Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine I see feasibility, potential, connections and the means for making something happen. My undergraduate engineering experience enhanced my sense of logic and persistence to solve the seemingly unsolvable. My entrepreneurial instincts led me to engineer medicine and become an inside navigator of the healthcare system so that I can eventually affect change and promote progress with my unique perspectives as a practicing physician. Lastly, my compassion for just patient care and desire to find root cause, sustainable fixes versus a reliance on ”band aid” pills has led me to the primary care side of medicine and innovation

Students’ Views of New Teaching Techniques Change Over TimeAbstractMany new faculty are eager to try new teaching techniques in their classrooms, but students areoften resistant to change and convince new faculty to abandon their ideas for a more traditionalstyle that students are more familiar with. This study looks at the change in attitude of studentstowards a flipped classroom format and the concept of assessment corrections during thesemester. A subset of the students voluntarily completed an anonymous survey approximatelyfive weeks into the course and again at the end of the course.Students were enrolled in a junior-level dynamics course. On the first day of class students wereinformed that the class would be using a flipped format rather

;afk12@psu.eduCurriculum summary: High school students are often overwhelmed by the proliferation of specialties available to themin the realm of engineering. It is often the approach of the instructor to lecture to the studentsdirectly, rather than allowing them to explore the areas for themselves. To meet this need, anactivity was developed to expose students to the various disciplines of engineering in aninnovative and engaging way. Students in a high school level introduction to engineering classwere given giant whiteboards headed with the various disciplines and allowed a short interval inwhich to write words or phrases with which they associated the discipline. Following theactivity, the words were collected to form word clouds, which were

In this course, weintroduce students the TCP/IP protocols, and wireless communication technologies like WiFi andBluetooth. Through course projects, students study the implementation of TCP/IP protocols inpractice, and learn how to use drivers of Ethernet port and WiFi connection to developmicrocontroller-based networking applications.

The personality types of undergraduate civil engineeringstudents in a sophomore introduction to civil engineering course with sustainability-relatedtopics were determined using the Myers Brigg Personality Type Indicator®. Sustainabilityrelated topics were presented in the course through traditional instructor-centered lectures.Personality type was then related to student-reported interest in civil engineering andsustainability, as well as student-reported importance of personal sustainability issues throughsurveys. Results correlate student interest ratings and importance
