, Yang has over a decade of experience as both a science educator and researcher that includes teaching biology to at-risk and under- served populations, environmental outreach education, and research in biopsychology. Yang has focused much of her work with EiE on creating and conducting professional development that not only teaches content, but models strong science pedagogy so that teachers can experience for themselves the power of inquiry-based and open-ended learning. In her work with partners, she hopes to bring these methods to science education PD providers nationwide. Sharlene received her B.A. in Biology and Psychology from Cornell University, her M.S. in Biopsychology from the University of Michigan, and

, etc. to form an interactive visual/audio presentation of information and knowledge.Interactive multimedia can be used to support education and training, to serve as a reference tool andto provide dynamic presentations 1,2. Educational research has showed that if information isconveyed to the students in a combination of text, color, graphics, animation, sound, movingpictures, and a degree of interactivity, the interactive multimedia approach may result in a significantincrease in retention, improvement in the learning rate and active learning process3-5. According toStoney and Oliver's report, “The use of interactive multimedia can foster and develop cognitiveengagement through its ability to attract and hold students' attention and focus.”6
Bloom proposed. Marzano’s taxonomy is atwo-dimensional model as represented in Figure 1; one of the axes is the hierarchy of“thinking systems” or levels of processing and on the other axis the “domains ofknowledge”. Page 15.694.3 Figure 1. “The New Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives” Model (Marzano, 2007)12The authors organize the knowledge in three domains: information (declarativeknowledge with no procedure involved; “the what”), mental procedure (proceduralknowledge; “the how-to”) and psychomotor procedures (human body motionprocedures). These domains are based on psychology research and each is organized withtheir own hierarchies and categories as

To achieve this, OP-TEC is providing numerous resources to help colleges introduceoptics and photonics courses and programs of study.The efforts undertaken and resources provided by the organizations above are creating a vibrantand rich environment for post-secondary institutions to investigate and introduce photonics intheir portfolio of advanced technology programs of study.

The program is already contributing to the internationalization ofthe PSU campus community in the participating departments. PSU faculty arecommunicating with colleagues in China, and discussions exploring research interests arebeginning.The PSU-IIIST partnership has attracted wide attention in China. Many Chinese studentsare interested in studying in the U.S. and realize they can now take American courses atIIIST and work towards a PSU degree. Some

courses. Wewill present perspectives and recommendations from our experiences in using this medium foreffective instruction of students.IntroductionIt is becoming increasingly common for students from chemistry, biology, and other physicalsciences to be interested in graduate work in chemical engineering. Such training answers apervasive need in research and industry for professionals with cross-disciplinary education. AtMichigan State University (MSU), we have found that the integration of these students into ourgraduate program enriches the experiences of our traditional chemical engineering students. Inaddition, the key concepts from the chemical engineering undergraduate curriculum serve asexcellent material for continuing education for
with the proliferation of the Internet into many aspects of society, it is notsurprising to find web-based learning sites on almost any topic. One early trial of the Internet asa knowledge provider was “distance learning” which began as an aid to students who were moreisolated and couldn’t get to a physical school. Today it’s hard to find a school, either urban orrural, which isn’t connected to the Internet. Besides being able to research most topics on-line,students are also using the Internet as an extension of their education. Students increasinglysubmit papers, projects, and assignments electronically without ever printing on paper, and
/mechanical systems design project was selected tointegrate material from all of the core mechanical engineering courses and to ensure that ourgraduates have a basic understanding of engineering science and how it relates to the art ofengineering design.The purpose of this paper is to describe the key features of the new course and to evaluate itssuccess in meeting its educational objectives. The “soft skills” component of the courseemphasizes development of skills for lifelong learning, including research skills, teamworkskills, and communication skills. The year-long sequence of courses is being team-taught, withextensive use of a Blackboard course web site for organizing group activities, and is beingmonitored by referees from the industrial

one thing, the “non-professional” qualityis demanded by the society; it is the defect of the education for the other. Take theengineering system for instance, a modern engineering has entered an era of “socialengineering”. The challenge future engineers are going to confront with is mainly caused bynon-engineering factor. What a modern engineer is concerned with is far more than whether acertain project can be completed within certain time, and he also needs to know whether it iseconomical and what social result it will cause and consider the question of industrialpollution, environment, energy crisis. This is the concept of “great project”. Thebreakthrough or success of a field in scientific research is usually attributed to the non
