One of their ideas was to give students “a task targeted to aspecific audience, for example, a CEO needs X”, and the lab reports were to “fulfill the task astargeted to the audience.” An emerging pedagogical trend is the transition from demonstration-type labs to hands-on activities, from using step-by-step lab manuals to task-driven, project-based learning (PBL) approaches [7].This trend is consistent with our overall Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering curriculum atCSU Chico as it has evolved over recent years.

! (Equation 6)where Ci is the concentration of specie i, t is time, and ri is the rate of formation of specie i. If thematerial is a reactant, then ri is negative. The overall rate of formation of a specie takes intoaccount all formation and loss reactions in a mechanism. To begin the exercise, students needed to first identify which reactions formed anddestroyed each specie in the overall mechanism. After doing so, a material balance on that speciecould be developed. As an example, ozone (O3) was formed in reaction 2 with rate r2 anddestroyed in reaction 3 with rate r3. Thus, the net rate of O3 formation was r2- r3, and the materialbalance for O3 was determined to be

. Overview of the LiteratureCultural anthropologists agree that shared knowledge is socially generated, disseminated andactively constructed. In the past three decades, anthropologists have eloquently critiquedessentialized portrayals of culture, portrayals that present culture as “homogeneous” and“static”.7, 8 Cognitive anthropologists are especially interested in exploring variations, bothbetween and within groups (“inter- and intra-cultural variation”) to measure the extent to whichinformation is shared. They conceptualize knowledge as an “information pool”, with differentgroup members sharing differing ideas based on both individual differences and social contexts.9A methodology developed by quantitative anthropologists may be used to rigorously

IntroductionTechnical writing is an important skill for students to develop by the time of graduation, andeffective communication is required of the ABET 2009-10 Criterion 3. In addition to ABETrequirement, the industry demand for skilled technical writers is increasing6 . However, for manyengineering students, the act of technical writing can be intimidating. This is especially true ifthe students are still learning about the topic in question6 . More exposure to the subject matter isuseful in making technical writing a less daunting task. Students need significant practice tobecome effective communicators upon completion of their degrees. Beginning this education intechnical writing early allows students maximizes time spent learning to

revealed that students who have earned a high first-year GPA are more likely topersist in the initial major than those who earned lower grades [15, 16]. Rask and Tiefenthaler[19] corroborate this finding; they found that lower grades led to lower persistence, and that thereverse is also true. Additional reasons why people persist include the type of institutions that thestudents attended and their educational experiences at these institutions [2].Understanding individuals’ motivation for graduate study is also important in studyingdisciplinary migration. Some people may choose to pursue graduate study for their own personalacademic development, but there are those who desire to change careers and an advanced degreehelps them to do so [20]. This

Hence, it comes asno surprise that ABET has embraced this criterion for close to a decade.Introduction to Thermodynamics requires that students learn basic, yet complicated concepts,such as determining properties of pure substances, calculating heat and work exchanged during aprocess, and the first and second law of thermodynamics, before they can tackle complexapplications, such as thermodynamic cycles or combustion systems. These basic concepts areconducive to simple, conceptually oriented laboratory assignments that parallel the classroominstruction. Those laboratory assignments are an ideal place to implement
