Lastly, a lookup table of thermistor resistances and temperature wasalso provided. A worksheet was also devised and distributed to students at the beginning of thelaboratory session for data entry, the results of their calculations, and comments. a. Experiment Procedure: Resistivity and ResistanceIn this section, the relationship between the concentration of electrons in the ‘sea of electrons’, themobility of the electronics, and the electrical resistivity of the metal is presented.

to benefit from commerce and global acceptance, it must ensure that itsbusiness leaders gain competencies in cross-cultural skills. The general problem is a shortage of culturally competent leaders in multinationalcorporations (MNCs) able to meet the unique challenges of global leadership [8][18][32].Caligiuri and Tarique [7] professed that business leaders of most global companies should viewcross-cultural literacy as the most essential competency in international markets. An inadequateunderstanding of cultural and business differences may jeopardize performance of organizationsdoing business across borders [2][7][12][16][23][28]. American global organizations may losebusiness opportunities and possibly encounter weakened

program, 5 did not enroll in Calculus 1 for the Fall semester. This is both a logisticaland advising problem that will need to be addressed in the future. Of those that have participatedin the program we find a passing rate (ABC) of 55% compared to 49% for the two fall semesterCalculus classes as a whole. Table 1 summarizes the grade distributions. Passing rates for thecourse have dropped below those for the general sections of Calculus 1 in the same semester,however as before we find that the differences are not statistically significant. Likewise, the GPAof the students is not significantly different from that of the whole population (precisely theprobability that a group of 33 students from Calculus 1 would have a GPA of 1.66 or higher ismore

How the pilot interacts with the helicopter is of paramount importance in design.The rotor is typically made of many moving parts, the largest and most noticeable of which arethe blades, the hub, and the swashplate, all of which operate in rotation as a function of time.The pilot commands the forces generated by the rotor through the controls in order to accomplisha mission, whether it be hover, forward flight, or some combination of both. Therefore,Enduring Understanding 1 is: The student will be able to describe the rotor and blade motions ina rotational reference axis system and the student will be able to identify rotor designs and theallowable

, social awareness, and interpersonal skills required to function aspracticing engineers [1]. It is the goal of the current work to develop and assess hands-on,laboratory based, course content which teaches materials selection for engineering design.In the context of engineering design, material selection is not merely the selection of an existingmaterial from which to fabricate a finalized engineering component or design. Rather, materialsselection should be treated as an integral component of the iterative design process in which thematerial, process, and design are refined and optimized in parallel to address a market need, seeFigure 1 [2], [3]. In this context, the specific educational objectives for the course are thatstudents should be able

We focus to thick description of participant experiences to allow readers to make decisions regarding transferability[18] rather than drawing generalizations due to the small number of participants. The pretrip reflection survey explored pretravel global competency. The reflection survey specifically investigated expectations in regards to interactions with the Liberian students and Liberian culture (Appendix 1). The posttravel semistructured interviews focused on participant reflections from the trip. Participants engaged in semistructured interviews using with

.7, 8Summer Educational Internship Program (SEIP)The XXX University/ XXX Technical College team developed and implemented a four-weekSummer Educational Internship Program (SEIP) for math and engineering rising sophomorestudents to engage them in teaching experiences with students in grades 4-8. Rising juniors mayalso participate, but their scholarship eligibility will be limited to the senior year. SEIP offered14 internships (9 from XXX University, 1 STEM professional and 4 from XXX TechnicalCollege) at the rate of $1,000 per participant. In the first week, interns learned about teachingmethodologies in math and technology standards. In the last three weeks, participants worked ondesign and implementation of teaching course plans for math

These educationalgoals were either accomplished or it is too soon to tell, as in the case of goal 7 that seeks toimprove retention. Team reports show that goals 1, 3, 4, and 5 were accomplished at variouslevels that ranged from fair to excellent. Teams were required to meet with the instructor and/orthe graduate assistant to review draft versions of reports. An anonymous exit survey taken onthe last day of classes indicate that a majority (70%) of the students felt this project was a verygood learning

The KSVs had the greatest uptake rate,with 63% of respondents reporting that they used the intervention. The Cornell notes had thelowest uptake rate (4%).

While the participant group was too small for results to be conclusive, anoverall increase in interest for STEM topics was documented, particularly inmathematics. Qualitative observations also highlighted the benefits of a classroomatmosphere that emphasized increased instructor-student interaction. These observationsalso provide insight into the type and amount of activity preferred by students.

A confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the remaining 17items to confirm the two constructs found with the EFA. For data analysis, an average of theitems was calculated as a general math anxiety score (between 1 and 5). Average scores for itemswithin each of the two constructs were calculated for each participant, and statistical analyseswere conducted to determine if there were differences between scores.

Online problems were first developed forintroductory and intermediate-level surveying courses.

The class is structured to encourage a lot of creative thinking andbrainstorming at this stage. It is done in a very interactive manner in class where everyone is encouragedto participate and the role of the instructor is mainly to capture the ideas presented by the students and toencourage broad student participation.

?” Negotiating the Borderlands of Queer and Engineering EpistemologiesIntroductionPrior research about the experiences of LGBTQ+ engineering students has focused on thecultural aspects of the discipline that negatively affect their educational opportunities, withparticular focus on heteronormativity, masculinity, and prioritization of technical skills at theexpense of social knowledge. The field of engineering values empirical knowledge, which can beat odds with many other epistemologies and ontologies, especially queer ways of knowing [1]. Inthis research brief, we use Riley’s work and Anzaldua’s conceptions of identity borderlands toanalyze one interview with Amelia, as she sits in the tensions between queer and engineeringways of

reformation in general, and to the use of modern pedagogicalskills in particular. The paper also argues that any meaningful change in Region’s classroompractices today (dominated by traditional lecture-based methods) must be mandated andsupported by the university administration. What is necessary to create a change, is for thedepartment or college, to have a comprehensive and integrated set of components: clearlyarticulated expectations, opportunities for faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and anequitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies ofengagement. The theme advocated here is that
