Students assemble thequadrant tool and then venture outdoor to determine the height of a tall structure through remotemeasurement. Upon return to the classroom, the students compile their data into a large set foranalysis. Through this activity, students begin learning best practices in data collection andassessment and see the impact of limited precision data rst-hand. Through data assessment,variable sensitivity and uncertainty are evaluated, and students must identify the sources

The mostsignificant fact reported by Davies is that something like 80% of those teaching liberal 1studies in one enquiry had a teacher education qualification which was much more thanamong teachers of technological subjects [22]. Recent work in the US suggests that teachersof technological literacy may benefit from such training.Of a very small sample of staff in CATs [23], and a large sample in one CAT [24] themajority of the teachers thought that liberal studies were necessary

This is not a well-known problem, but recent field data gathered in Cleveland, Ohio indicate that for some urbanlocations, battery litter can be a surprisingly important source of heavy metal contamination.

Theauthor has noted that those students who are taking the class specifically for the three hours ofMET credit and are uninterested in taking the CCT exam are sufficiently unmotivated andrequire some additional inspiration.

Students had difficultyworking with the isolation channels due to a combination of unclear instruction and noise thatwas present in the channels due to the isolated DC-to-DC converter that was paired with thesignal isolation chips. Therefore, many of the teams were unable to complete the exercise, soquantifying these learning objectives in terms of statistical assessments would be awkward.Given that only two learning experiences were offered with this small group of students, theauthors decided to focus attention instead on the results of the student surveys, which wouldyield interesting data regarding student impressions of the technology, as discussed in the

An informal review of US programs revealed that many offer writing courses modeled ontraditional composition courses, which are not necessarily directed to the needs of STEMstudents. Further, many of these courses provide a series of isolated learning modules with littlecontinuity or encouragement to revise and in which technological writing assistance isdiscouraged.

There is,however, very little research that assesses these impacts (Duval-Coetil et al., 2011). This partlystems from only a few valid and reliable instruments being used widely in the field especially forengineering students.
