Photographs were taken of the equipment, interviews were heldwith plant personnel, and plant data was reviewed for many operational aspects. From this anarrative was created explaining all of the major systems on campus and how they operate.Pictures and schematics of the systems were included as well as links to manufacturers’ websitesand specification sheets. The initial Scenario was then built from this information. Due to thelarge amount of cross referenced information which can be included in material of this sort anelectronic format is currently being used. However, student focus groups indicated that

year study conducted byPennsylvania State University found that 2004 graduates were better prepared than 1994graduates, and reported gaining more professional skills (through self-assessments). Anotherinteresting finding is that although faculty were concerned with devoting more time toprofessional skills, students’ self-assessments were higher in 2004 than in 1994, and they feltbetter prepared. Many in industry, especially from companies that recruit nationally, also reportthat they find new graduates’ preparedness favorable (Volkwein et al., 2004).ConclusionThis study examined which skills and knowledge are most important for entry-level bioprocessengineers according to practicing engineers.

The creation of office environments that influence the productivity and healthof the working population through natural ventilation, operable windows, and daylight interiorsis of concern as well.However, a number of issues arise because of the interdependence and interaction betweenvarious disciplines. For instance, one decision about glazing that allows more light into thebuilding might also simultaneously increase the solar gain to the point where the cooling fromnatural ventilation alone will not be sufficient to maintain acceptable indoor conditions in termsof temperature and relative humidity. The solar gain may serve to diminish the cooling effect ofthe thermal mass during the earliest hours of

For these reasons, we'vefocused on the inverted model, augmenting it to modestly increase availability and thusthroughput for selected classes, while carefully maintaining instructional quality and individualstudent attention and interaction. Specifically, our augmented version of inverted instructionallows our faculty to roughly double the number of sections they can teach of a particular class inan academic quarter. We hope that augmented inverted instruction might provide a measured andconstructive response to the call for greater efficiency and cost reduction in higher education.

Prior research also supports this.

Since light is the easiest way to portray andto visualize an electromagnetic wave, a LASER pointer was used as a source, with theinherent advantage to be sufficiently simple to handle by the students themselves. It wasalso helpful to give an introduction of correlations and the emphasis of the analogiesbetween very well assimilated situations (sea waves for example) and the new conceptsthe fellows were attempting to explain (light waves). With these analogies in place, everyconcept was initially introduced within the known context (the wavelength of a sea waveswhen
