Kanipe, Texas A&M University After receiving a BS in Aerospace Engineering in May 1970, followed by a MS in Aerospace Engineering in August 1971 from Texas A&M University, Mr. Kanipe accepted a position with NASA at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston and began his professional career in November 1972. A month after his arrival at NASA, the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, was launched. Obviously, that was exciting, but in terms of his career, the commencement of the Space Shuttle Program in November 1972 was to have far more impact. As a result, David was able to begin
-relatedawards, with awards in the “Engineering” discipline receiving the largest funding. After reviewing andanalyzing a statistical sample of abstracts, two observations emerged. First, the representation ofcyberlearning awards varies across disciplines. Secondly, while learning management systems (e.g.,Blackboard) are used most often, cyberlearning is rarely used to support learning in a real-world contextor to provide a personalized learning experience. Furthermore, qualitative analysis of the responses from18 interviews with NSF Program Officers led to interesting insights. A taxonomy of cyberlearning wasdeveloped to show that it occurs on macro-, meso-, and micro-scales (where each scale indicates thenumber of learners and accessible resources

During the lecture and subsequent class discussion of the processes under review, students are expected to add to the transfer of knowledge by sharing points and information gleaned from the digital sources and their textbook. The lecture is supported by a weekly hands-on laboratory. Students are questioned, in a non-test environment, while working on their lab projects about relate theories and concepts.IntroductionIn an industrial Engineering curriculum, a manufacturing processes course meets three categoriesof students’ employment needs after graduation: (1) Students whose professional career directlyinvolves

resources, like Scratch, PhET, and theMobile Studio, hint at the promise cyberlearning holds for facilitating the development of 21stcentury skills. While National Science Foundation (NSF) Program Officers (POs) are interestedin continuing to support cyberlearning research and developments that promote excellence inundergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, there is aneed to understand elements of existing resources that have already achieved positive outcomes.An exploratory sequential mixed methods research design1 was used to explore this topic. Of the1,000 NSF-funded projects POs have highlighted in the NSF Highlights over the past 10 years,nearly100 were cyberlearning awards. After applying selection

Also we do projects with individuals who have specific rehabilitation needs. Thedesign faculty team reviews the proposed projects and chooses those that are well matched to thestudents’ abilities and likely to result in physical prototypes.

The writing assessment tools were generally applied to freshmen (studentsenrolled in 100-level classes), juniors (students enrolled in 300-level classes), and seniors(students enrolled in 400-level classes) in the two departments, as noted in Table 1. Althoughlimited writing samples were collected from the junior classes, these were not evaluated by thereview team due to budget limitations.

The structure ofthe rubric was borrowed from a rubric used to assess senior design projects in a civil andenvironmental engineering program, and then refined based on work conducted in the area ofscientific understanding and writing24. Subsequent examinations17 and refinements16 of the rubricled to the rubric under examination in the present study. The rubric adopted an analytic style19,with scores assigned to each of six energy literacy dimensions—1) Issue, 2) Solution, 3) Impacts,4) Stakeholders, 5) Technical Concepts, and 6) Outside Information.
