and fortunes.ConclusionChina is not on a quest for global domination. According to Wang Zaibang15, a reporter forChina Daily News, given China’s fast development: It is natural to assume the foreign strategy of an emerging power will inevitably be pursuit of hegemony…and ill-[information] about China's historical and cultural traditions, most foreigners feel uncertain about how a stronger China will use its power. But as time goes on, the peaceful development road of China will become more and more evident. (p.16)China views the shift, “toward multi-polarity [as] irreversible” and believes, “It is in thefundamental interest of people of all countries...to share development opportunities, jointlyaddress challenges

After the first two classes were held, meetings were also heldwith representatives of the operator and drilling contractor as to the topics that should be coveredfor the rig crew
earlyengineering tendencies develop and are sustained throughout the P/K-12 learning experience hasbeen primarily intermittent. These periodic and ad hoc efforts are insufficient. Needededucational change and consistency are necessary if the engineering profession is to overcome itschallenges specifically in undergraduate enrollment numbers, recruitment of women and under-represented minorities, and the public perception (including the views of youth) of engineeringand technology. There is interconnectivity among science, technology, and engineering thatrequires clarification and promotion. Science seeks to understand the natural world and requiresnew tools and discoveries; engineering uses scientific discoveries to create products andprocesses that meet
, the tutoring derives four linguistic concepts, namely, Type ofClause, Effective Sentence Structure, Information Flow and Cohesion, and GrammaticalStance Expression. Each instructional unit starts with a lecture on one Linguistic Concept,followed by a Sentence Rewriting Activity and a guided Data Query Activity, and ends with astudent-centered Self-assessment of the concept in their own writing. The assessment consistsof Likert-scale questionnaires to gauge participants’ quantitative evaluation of the tutoringand qualitative reflective presentations and interview data to probe their conceptualdevelopment of the linguistic concepts. In this paper, I aim to address the following twoquestions: (1) How do participants perceive the
Session 2520 Applying Multiple Student Modeling Techniques In Intelligent Tutoring Systems Essam M. Kosba, Ahmed R. Dawoud Arab Academy for Science & Technology / October University For Modern SciencesAbstract An important aspect of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is their ability to provideindividualized instruction in a manner similar to what offered by a personal humaninstructor. A student model is described as the information that ITS keeps about anindividual student. ITSs should actively support the student’s learning process throughtailoring

The questionnaire asked about background, demographics,reasons for pursuing a teaching internship, attributes of professionals in teaching and in STEM,previous internship experiences, whether they felt a sense of belonging in their currentdepartment, and future goals. Results showed that most interns have various reasons for pursingthe internship opportunity, have considerable experiences working with youth, want to teach atsome point in their careers, and feel a sense of belonging in their STEM departments.

STEM education must provide emerging scientists and engineers with innovative talentsto energize the economic engines of the future.A critical juncture in the undergraduate STEM education pathway is that majority of attritionoccurs because students experience many academic challenges in gatekeeping courses [2]. Animportant factor to this failure is attributed to the lack of engaging pedagogy. The ingredients forsuccess in STEM disciplines are the

interesting method emerging in re-cent years is using computer simulation and animation technology. This way of disseminating hasbeen proved to be effective by more and more educators and be adopted by many institutes. Theadvantage of teaching networking technology using simulation is that it can provide a interactiveeducational environment for knowledge transfer, requirement analysis, architecture design, perfor-mance optimization and system testing. The interaction is encouraged while user could providedifferent parameters to the simulation model and to see the affect through the simulation result.A statistical analysis conducted by Brian and Key [5] shows that students performed much morebetter in their assessment as the computer network concepts

of design thinking to education contexts is not surprising. Scholars have notedsimilarities between design thinking and the models and practices used by expert instructionaldesigners3. For example, learner and context analysis are often important features of expertmodels and practices3–6 and connect to the empathic and user-oriented aspects of design7.However, scholars also recognize that differences between settings, even within instructionaldesign, may favor different practices4. Literature on the role design thinking can play ineducation settings is emerging, but more work is needed to understand how design thinking canbe applied to the design of engineering courses and curricula, and how the unique features ofthese settings may affect
