Giventhat a number of students were also repeat offenders, with one having infractions on all but one MATLABassignment, this seems to indicate a pattern of behavior, rather than an exception.As is often the case, some faculty were reluctant to examine the problem or submit cases to the honorcourt. Objections from individuals ranged from a sense of being unfair to students. “Did we tell thestudents we would submit their code to online resources?” In fact, we had, as this was in the syllabus.Some individuals still felt that students were owed an immediate notification each time they weresubmitted. Other individuals expressed a concern as the cases

Savić explainshow in the late 1990s, as libraries digitized print collections onto new digital formats like CD-ROMs, they encountered challenges related to the quality of the scanned content as well as long-term preservation issues [4]. The internet then allowed for an explosion in the amount and typeof born-digital GL content produced by an increasing number of entities.

There are many contexts forlearning communities in both formal and informal educational settings, but the common theme isthat the students are actively and collaboratively vested in their own learning, which results ingreater student engagement3. Learning communities are well-suited to contribute to the trainingand development of engineers in areas such as teamwork and communication skills, but also incollaborative design, problem solving, ethics, and an understanding of the larger context for theirwork.Undergraduate summer research programs have historically been founded on traditionalpedagogy: instructor-led seminars and faculty-directed research and problem solving, with thelatter often including an experienced graduate student or

Standardized testsproved particularly damaging to open-ended engineering design thinking where students mustformulate questions, design experiments, interpret unexpected results, and make new and novelconnections and observations [8].In addition to internal and external barriers described above, the political organizational structureof high schools selects against engineering courses. According to Foster, state-mandated sciencecourse enrollment necessitates several science faculty organized into a science department atmost schools. A lone high school technology or engineering instructor may be loosely tied to theschool’s science department, but this person usually does not possess enough political leverageto advocate strongly for their

Continuing this processwill make the course more recognizable to employers as something valuable, and will make iteasier for students and faculty to convey its value to others. This “metrology/quality” approachto a measurements lab brings together the “win” in experimental techniques with the “win” inrelating them directly to issues relevant to

Unlike the originalintent of the Delphi study, we are not concerned about the difficulty of acquiring certain conceptsor skills but only about the importance of each concept or skill.

This inability to access applicable knowledge in a wide variety of domains wasmentioned as early as Whitehead7 who used the term “inert knowledge” to describe this type ofknowledge. Additional work seemed to indicate that traditional educational methods tended toproduce knowledge that remained inert.8 These concerns led researchers to propose alternative instructional methods thatattempted to create macro-contexts for students in order that knowledge

Specifically, we used thethin film photovoltaics for our lantern.
