. Currently there is increased emphasis throughout the engineering field on encouraging more active learning activities in the classroom. In addition, new ABET evaluation criteria8 place more responsibility on engineering faculty to become involved in course development and evaluation. In an engineering PFF program, these trends in engineering education can be addressed more thoroughly than in a general university-wide program. Other current trends, such as a focus on introducing engineering to K-12 students, can also be addressed in the PFF in engineering program. In addition, it is known that many undergraduates abandon engineering degrees early in their programs, often because the level of teaching in introductory courses

evaluation process.The LG system, developed at Harvard [10], has its advantage of carrying an easy intuitive meaning [11]and European Union now uses the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) to convertEuropean grades to LG categories [12]. However, this intuitive meaning evolves in time [3] and theinterpretation of evaluation scores may vary according to the grading system used [13]. In this paper we Page 15.629.2aim at analyzing how grades are related to raw scores and how scaling can be used productively ratherthan harmfully in order to tune in student and faculty needs while following educational standards.Score

Institute of Technology, a STEM intensive public university, received an NSFInnovation through Institutional Integration (I3) grant to fund its Tech to Teaching proposal thathad two goals: 1. To create an infrastructure on the campus that encourages and enables students to effectively pursue careers in K-12 or college teaching; and 2. To develop and implement programming that ensures these students succeed in their initial years in these career paths.One component of the assessment plan for this project was to track the “culture” on campus as itpertains to teaching careers – that is to gain an understanding of the perceptions of the faculty,advisors, and administrators of career paths that are centered around education; and to

The improvement on these principles was using aninnovative type of concrete mix known as geopolymer cement concrete, never before used inbuilding construction. The geopolymer mix replaces 100% of the Portland cement bindingagent used in conventional concrete with recycled fly-ash, which yields a decreased carbon-footprint (up to 90%) when compared to the conventional alternative.From the mechanical engineering
