arrange students in groups of 3–4 each and have each group engage indeep discussions in class without each group disrupting other groups’ discussions. Third, faculty,even those who may buy in, at a conceptual level, to the value of collaborative learning, tend tobe reluctant about devoting class time to such activities since they are concerned about the likelynegative impact on topic coverage. Our approach not only addresses these issues, it also has anumber of other important advantages over in-person collaborative learning.The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we review background theories related to learningdriven by cognitive conflict; we also briefly review a number of approaches in the broader area ofcollaborative learning
sketches and examples helpful in discussing seismic issues with their architecturalcolleagues [31].Moreover, in the faculties of architecture of universities located in earthquake-prone countries, itis recommended that, referring to the current infrastructure, even if they were or not intentionallybuilt to minimize damages produced by an earthquake, a variety of natural selection of theeffective designs that have frequently proven to withstand earthquakes have most likelyhappened [32]. If something has become old-fashioned is because it has been efficient inresisting past seismic events, moreover, it can resist seismic incidents in the time to come. As aresult, a cohesion in the use of specific seismic resistant features can be observed in

study focused on learners from three nanoHUB-U courses. NanoHUB-U is an onlineeducation platform established by the National Science Foundation supported project, Networkfor Computational Nanotechnology (NCN).14 The highly dynamic and rapidly evolving natureof the field of nanotechnology quickly renders traditional course textbooks obsolete, 15 and themost up-to-date material is only available through conference proceedings and journalpublications. NanoHUB-U combats this issue by offering short, open-access courses (typically5 weeks in length) developed by a collaboration of experts from across the field ofnanotechnology. One of the major objectives of nanoHUB-U is to significantly decrease thetime between research discovery, to access of new

Report: Charles Riborg Mann as an Influential but Elusive Figure in Engineering Education (A Work in Progress)Engineering schools, like all institutions of learning, are slow to undertake educational experiments. It is sometimes easier to start a new school than to try an educational experiment in an old one. --Henry S.

teachers.Subsequently, the College has received two RET Site grants, one for 2006-2008 and the secondone 2009-20111-5. Each year approximately 12 math and science teachers have participated. Thegoals of the RET program have been three fold: 1. To educate, cultivate, and facilitate middle and high school science and mathematics teachers by exploring the scientific method of inquiry and the critical research skills that engineers use to solve open-ended real-world problems. 2. To develop the participating teachers into role models for their schools who apply their research experiences in their classrooms and with colleagues. 3. To enable middle and high school students to directly link their education to events and issues
learn new skills in areas they are unfamiliar.2.0 Background The pronounced gender disparities in engineering and engineering technology disciplinesgive rise to a challenging dilemma and one that has yet to be solved. Achieving a critical massof women in these fields could pave the way for greater representation in both educationalinstitutions and industry and alleviate critical upcoming labor shortages. This, in turn, mighthelp mitigate or eliminate obstacles linked to stereotypes, stereotype threat, and a sense ofbelonging. Stereotyping is a perception that certain groups of individuals possess lesser academicability, a notion that can significantly impact their engagement in educational pursuits. Thistendency is particularly pronounced

Other faculty tout the importance of additional skills a physics classmight teach, such as basic math skills or use of software such as MATLAB.Historically, most physics courses have emphasized traditional problem solving. Theidentification of these other possible instructional goals raises the issue of whether and how they Page 26.1499.2should be treated in physics curricula. Given the unchanged time constraints of introductoryphysics courses, can an instructional target such as mathematical sense-making be emphasizedwithout taking away from developing students’ traditional problem-solving skills?

The benefit to this relationship: the seniors exercise theircreativity and classroom knowledge while gaining valuable project management and decisionmaking experience. The freshmen and sophomores also benefit as they work alongside theseniors; they get hands on experience as the engineering principles that they are being introducedto get put in to practice. When they become seniors themselves, they will be able to put all ofthat experience and classroom knowledge to build a new and improved solar boat, and lead afresh batch of young engineering minds.MTSU's Undergraduate Research Center promotes and champions change that institutionalizes aculture
