The inherent efficiency in re- use of datameans databases are a fantastic way to store and present large volumes of data with manycommon elements. A prime example of this technology in many libraries is the maintenance anddisplay of the collection of electronic indexes. In the context of a libraries’ collection of indexes,a comprehensive database with descriptions and subject designations could be used to generateone list of all indexes and many different subject lists.

According to Generation Z researchers Seemiller & Grace,among the top issues on the minds of Generation Z students are “education, employment, andracial equality” [6]. Not surprisingly, today’s prospective students are most likely to citepreparation for a job as the number one reason they are considering a college education[3].Coming of age during the economic recession of 2008, Generation Z is pragmatic and seeksvalue in a degree that they see as critical to landing a job down the road. A real concern for thesestudents is the ability to afford a college degree, which is not surprising given

For short-term (i.e., during the timeframe of the course) retention is enhancedby rest breaks1, scaffolding, and multi-part practice that takes complex problems and breaksthem down in shorter steps.2 Knowledge retention is also enhanced by team-based learningtechniques.3 However, comparatively less research is dedicated to how long-term knowledgeretention can be enhanced as well
Engineering Education, 2021 Developing an Intuitive Understanding of Support Reactions Using an Interactive Teaching ActivityAbstractThe ability to quickly and accurately find support reactions for simply supported beams is essentialfor students moving forward in the fundamental structures courses in civil engineering degreeprograms. Students who simply try to memorize a procedure lack the insight to assess the validityof their answers and typically struggle on problems with unique loadings. To help statics studentsdevelop a more intuitive understanding of how loads distribute in a simply supported beam, aninteractive teaching activity was developed that combines physical behaviors with numericalcalculations.

guitar.The software includes an option to display lines at the main frequency and harmonics of a well-tuned guitar note. The other options that the user can control include but aren't limited to,sampling frequency, the number of samples per transform, the displayed area on the graph andwhether the DFT calculates the whole spectrum or just what is displayed. The main purpose ofthis program is to demonstrate the effect of these parameters on the resolution and speed of thetransforms, and also to demonstrate the difference between the two algorithms. The software canbe used for tuning musical instruments, for students' exercises in ECE introductory digital signalprocessing courses, and also for research in this field.

The diversity of the programs offered isas broad as the institutions that were offering them. We were particularly impressed by the program at CornellUniv~rsity in which a formal graduate level course is offered, covering a wide range of topics that are specificallyrelevant to engineering. Later, we found out that similar extensive courses which focus on teaching engineeringare offered k other schools like Purdue and the University of Michigan. Because they included a thorough andcomple~e treatment of educational psychology, as well as teaching techniques, these courses

They need to remember to have theteam celebrate the good things and not just dwell on the negative. This will help the team growtogether. Page 11.1275.6Bibliography1.
