American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Stimulating the Learning Process in Mathematics and Numerics using Mathematica.Abstract –The development of fast, powerful laptop computers during the last twenty yearshas greatly facilitated the solving of complex problems in a variety of scientific research areas.By using such devices, teachers and educators are able to utilize their research results in theirday-to-day work among students on campus. In my situation, teaching engineering studentsmathematics and physics at Oslo and Akershus University College, I have benefited greatlyfrom using Mathematica, an excellent programmng tool developed by Steven Wolfram andhis colleagues at Wolfram Research, Champaign, Illinois

She has pub- lished articles in the International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning, Academic Exchange Quarterly, Merlot’s Journal of Online Teaching and Learning, and the American Communica- tion Journal and others. She has studied, published, and presented research on the millennial student pop- ulation, web 2.0 collaboration applications in higher education, and students’ perceptions and preferences of computer-mediated communication with faculty.

Page 13.1129.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Sustainable Natural Resource EngineeringAbstractNatural Resources figure centrally in the understanding of Sustainability and the Professionalresponsibility of engineers. A teaching approach is outlined that a) utilizes standardEngineering preparation in applied mathematics; b) applies it as a unifying theme across thenatural resource field; c) embeds basic undergraduate exposure to ecological and economicconcepts; and d) operates via desktop simulation tools accessible to all university students. Theapproach suggested is related to the new American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Body ofKnowledge (BOK2) requirement of Sustainability.IntroductionNatural

Management System (i.e., Canvas or Blackboard or others). Appendix 1 includes thefull instructions provided for students to complete before the second face-to-face meeting of thecourse, and Appendix 2 includes representative questions included in the online studentassessment of mastery learning – students may take the online quiz as many times as needed toearn a score of 100% before the class meeting (i.e., to demonstrate complete mastery).Second, to provide a common frame of reference for students to understand the link betweenconceptual understanding and computer simulation, each student is instructed to acquire a copyof Hay Day by Supercell20, and to play the game for a minimum of 15-minutes per session for atleast four days in a row.

There will be more and larger storms in many parts of the world. The extinction rates of Earth’s plant and animal species will increase.Please indicate to what extent you agree with each of the following statements (A)(Strongly agree  Strongly disagree) I believe I can take actions that will help reduce global warming. The actions of a single person won’t make any difference in reducing global warming. The actions of a single country like the United States won’t make any difference in reducing global warming.How do you feel about each

The surveys and interviews were conducted by the Institutional Research and ProgramAssessment at Rose-Hulman, and following internal review board requirements, informed consentwas obtained from each participant prior to participation.Perception Surveys for StudentsA number of surveys have been developed to assess changes in student attitudes and skillsassociated with UR and have been administered either immediately after research experiences [3],[14] or at a later time to program alumni [9], [15]. For this study, we drew from a set of previouslypublished self-rating questions [14] to develop a survey, which

enabling students (a) to identify the types, sizes,and movement of particles that are found in air, particularly those that are expelled during normalhuman activity, and (b) to characterize the material properties that influence the control of thesedifferent particles. A specific focus was placed on the use of face masks made from common textilematerials. The “Mask Effectiveness” project required the development of Excel-based animations andtools that encourage students to explore relationships between air pollutants and materials science.The tool was developed such that it provides a solution to the limitations of a student design projectfor online and hybrid courses. By engaging with the computer-based Excel tool, students are ableto
