) among other skills.Environmental engineering education is well positioned to provide students with opportunities totake a global approach to environmental problems. Study abroad experiences are known toprovide cultural immersion that exposes students to different social situations, and when relatedto the students’ academic program, these experiences provide technical diversity, or differentways to handle professional situations, that otherwise would not be experienced in the classroomor home institution (Downey et al., 2006; Lucena et al., 2008). International research and studyabroad experiences result in the development of the individual’s global engagement as well ascareer choices and technical knowledge (Page et al., 2009). Coupling the

To normalize the data,percent of total credit hours or total number of courses was used to calculate the percentage ofthe curriculum that is flexible (elective) versus required over total hours. After this quantitativescore for flexibility was determined, a qualitative analysis of the tracks was performed looking atdiversity of track offerings. The same analyses were repeated for the Top 20 Mechanical [2] andElectrical Engineering [3] programs as a comparison.For the internal study of tracks in the local program, data on track membership over the past 10years was
improved.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Mechanical Engineering Department at South Dakota StateUniversity and the South Dakota Space Grant Consortium (funded by NASA) for providingfinancial support for this project.References[1] J.

Although the majority of the participants favored the time-space warpconcept (above) earlier in the brainstorming sessions, it was interesting to see how theirpreferences changed after seeing the computer-generated images.Figure 3: Early CAD concept modelsAfter eliminating the smoother “time-space warp” concept from further development, the “lightexplosion” concept development took place. Final dimensions were calculated, computerrenderings were generated, and presentation images were submitted for the LAMP competition.Figure 4: Competition

While engineering education has traditionally focused solely on the technicalskillset, there is a growing industry and academic demand for engineers who possess social andglobal values to better align with the changing industry (2) (3) (4) (5). Terminology such as‘socio-technical’ engineering is becoming more common, as is the blending of the social with

thinking.Analysis GuidanceThe errors in planar projections were coded for quantitative analysis. We focused on the fivetypes of common misconceptions identified by Krause and Waters: missing atoms, extra atoms,displaced atoms, atoms not touching where they should (“should touch”), and atoms touchingwhere they should not (“should not touch”) [9]. An analysis instruction sheet was created toconsistently categorize student work among researchers and institutions. The instructions containexamples of correct answers, examples of the misconceptions, and guidelines for consistentlycoding borderline or ambiguous cases. For example, the 9 locations where atoms should touch onthe FCC (111) plane can be divided into 6 “external adjacencies” and 3 “internal

IntroductionStored digital data volume is growing exponentially [1]. Today, there are about 4.4 zettabytes (1zettabyte is equivalent to 1021 bytes) of data in the World and it is expected to be about 44zettabytes by 2020 [2, 3]. Society increasingly relies on such data to tell us things about theworld [1]. Recent advances in technology, such
tensors? Or, in mathematical language, how are tensors defined? 2 On this matter,the scientific community is divided into two camps. Many 3–8 understand tensors as things with acertain number of components (measured with respect to a given coordinate basis), whichtransform in a given way under certain coordinate transformations. We will refer to this as thecomponent approach. Others 1,9,10 understand tensors not as sets of components, but as singularobjects with certain geometric properties. This is known as the geometric approach, because itimbues tensors with inherent geometric meaning via the concepts of “space” and “direction.”Historically, these two viewpoints went head-to-head during the mathematical formulation ofrelativity theory, and
externalinstructions. Cognitive development starts with the elementary “applications” as the actions that turn intoprocesses when the learner manages to operate correlated variations. Process turns into object when new actionscan be applied with the existing process. Schema is “more or less coherent collection of objects along with actionswhich the subject can perform on them” ([3]).Pedagogical research on APOS theory applications of functions’ series expansion is limited in the literature([1]). The only research overlap on APOS theory and infinite series concepts’ is the report that describes athree-semester calculus course developed at Purdue University with support from the U.S. National ScienceFoundation.

Another purpose of this study was to gauge the impacts of summer researchexperiences on US and non-US students. The following research questions guided this study: 1. What is the REU impact on the students’ career goals? 2. What is the REU impact on the students’ self-efficacy about making decision about graduate school and success therein? 3. How do the REU participants perceive any changes on their research knowledge, skills, and engineering career path? 4.
