theseattributes has been repeatedly recognized, by both the National Academy of Engineering andAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the accrediting body forengineering programs in the United States. Unfortunately, very little is known about thedynamics of engineering team-based engineering design and problem solving processes. How dothe team processes of experts differ from those of novices? How do students develop thenecessary skills over time? In this paper we present background on the problem and a VerbalProtocol Analysis (VPA) pilot study of freshman engineering team design and team processes asa step in the development of an empirically based understanding to address these questions. Theresearch method used was based on the
science laboratory at Norfolk State University, a workshop ondiversity issues relevant to K-12 education, a workshop on wireless technology anddistance learning, and a “robotics workshop” designed and delivered by the principalauthor of this paper. All the activities were integrated into a 3 credit course offeredthrough Department of Education at UMES, titled “EDCI 498 - NASA InternshipExperience for Elementary/Middle Mathematics, Science and Technology Pre-ServiceTeachers”.

inexpensive, provides renewable energy through precise building design, and may becoupled with solar panels to achieve maximum energy efficiency.The previously mentioned topics will be addressed to exemplify why solar power is the bestchoice for sustainable, renewable energy in developing countries. The purpose of this is tosupport the future implementation of innovative, applied research projects within the engineeringand engineering technology disciplines of international universities. This paper includes anexample of a model program for student participation in hands-on, competitive research projectsusing solar energy. An increase in the number of students who are learning this necessarytechnology and its practical applications helps to ensure a
adaptivity and reusabilitywill be possible [13,14].The work presented here only reaches adaptivity within a SCO, but does not require a specificontology of the learning material. Any ad-hoc classification would work as the model is entirelydriven by usage statistics. Clearly, if adaptivity should be extended beyond SCO boundaries,standardization would be required to compose SCOs from different vendors into a consistentcourse.This paper is organized as follows: We first introduce the concept of virtual laboratories anddiscuss some of the technological aspects of our virtual laboratory VideoEasel [7]. After that wedescribe our course system Marvin and provide insight in how it organizes courses and allowsadaption to the learner, followed by a section

Previous research 25 on theeffectiveness of this module has shown a positive effect on students’ interest and engagement inthe learning process. The focus of this paper is to see weather this short unit had an impact onstudent concept understanding as well as to correlate these results with the data analysis
equipment used in the laboratory. These are the textbooks that are used inindustry. These documents are sometimes inconvenient when used as a teaching textbook, butthe solution carries an added benefit that the students are well trained in using technical manualsand sorting their way through datasheets after having gone through the curriculum. In someinstances supplemental material must be provided as a datasheet does not give attention to allissues. One such issue is that of EOAT selection. If an angular finger gripper is required whatforce must be used to maintain hold on the payload? If a vacuum cup is required, how muchvacuum is required? Another issue is communication networks. How does DeviceNet work?What are the priority levels in the
