These mentors help the girls assess their ownvalues, set goals, and give them first-hand knowledge of career opportunities. The camp is forall girls, not just those with high academic excellence and/or involved in enrichment programs.The camp especially wishes to attract the average, college-bound girl who may or may notpursue math and science classes without a “gentle push” from this kind of activity.

electrical engineering understanding from Techtronics I to build AMradios. Their knowledge of electric circuits is extended to include magnetism as the concept ofelectromagnetic radio waves is introduced. Once again, the main project of the unit does not relyon inquiry-based learning methods because the circuit is too complex. The fascination andmotivation for learning is driven by the excitement of using technology that is above that whichis normally available to students of this age group. This has proven effective in Techtronics alsobecause students are motivated to build the radios and heart monitors correctly so that they work.AssessmentsA number of methods are used to assess Techtronics’ ability to meet program goals, includinglooking at year

No pattern emerged in the answers to the final questionexcept that we should hire more TA’s and get the labs graded more promptly. Since TAshortage is a common problem our experience suggests that further research is needed inmore efficient advising and assessment in the lab component of the course.Two students suggested that we divide the class into students with experience and thosewithout; both of these were most annoyed by the know-it-alls and

. These exams are a summative assessment of astudent’s mastery of course concepts, and are intended to measure learning of the entire body ofknowledge – or as close as possible – of a course. These documents are standardized across allengineering courses at the institution, are roughly the same length, administered in a closely-supervised environment, and are electronically available for data mining and study purposes.Due to the large quantity of words used in this study – over 22 million – this body of data servesas a starting point for additional research in the area of vocabulary characterization inengineering education.

It would help students understand how each element or subsystem works with each other.□ Too often teachers don't provide meaningful applications of how to connect textbook mate- rial to real life. I don't think that is an issue at all in this class. Based on student feedback, the goals of implementing the helicopter theme as a means toincrease interest in the material and encourage students to see the real-world applications of thecourse content appear to have been met.

The specific types of work that we will analyze include copies of students‟ design reports as well as homework documents (all student work will be de-identified, and we will ensure that this analysis is done under the approval of our IRB).

Since the vehicle isrotorcraft based, it has the capability to hover at geostationary points for extended periods oftime. During its hover operation, the vehicle will continue to transmit the live video feedback tothe ground station. This will help the campus police in their initial assessment of the situation.
