The Influence of Demographics on an Introductory Circuits Course Carlotta A. Berry Tennessee State UniversityAbstract This paper evaluates the performance of engineering students in an introductory circuitscourse during the period of Fall 2000 through Spring 2003 at Tennessee State University (TSU).TSU is a historically black university in Nashville, TN with an approximate enrollment of 9000graduate and undergraduate students with 500 full- and part-time faculty. The College ofEngineering, Technology, and Computer Science has an approximate enrollment of 1000students and 8 majors. This paper will

Unfortunately this exercise is seldom simple on account of the enormous progress inthe development of materials and processes in recent times [1]. Fortunately, the monumentalwork done by Ashby and his associates [2] has paved the way for not only making these taskssimpler, but provide unambiguous guidelines for completing these tasks. A course with exampleshighlighting these aspects would be of great benefit to mechanical engineering students inlearning how to apply the knowledge in their profession. This paper was written as a preamblefor this goal.In this paper the

It is fashioned after the Olympic decathlon and, like its namesake, consists of ten contests testing performance in selected skills. However, instead of focusing on athletic ability, the Solar Decathlon spotlights the application of solar energy and other sustainable building techniques to the construction of residential structures. Its purpose is to illustrate the feasibility and encourage the use of alternative energy sources and renewable energy technologies in a contemporary context. The first Solar

By the end of May all teachershad been assigned projects, with two teachers assigned to each project and each pre-serviceteacher paired with an in-service teacher. This allowed about two weeks for the teachers tocommunicate with each other, and with their mentor, prior to the start of the on-campus portion ofthe program.

With the current situations of the global economy, the Universities and the academic units associated with the graduate programs need to secure additional resources from extramural sources to support graduate student and graduate research activities. This will warrant new challenges for the faculty and the associated academic leaders to enhance new avenues for additional funding.3.

Like many areas inSTEM, education technological literacy has sought to identify and support learning outcomesthat specify effective teaching or content interventions which enable learners to become moretechnologically literate. From the enactivist perspective, however, technological literacy isachieved by placing individuals into an environment in which they must navigate technology-induced challenges, with success defined as learning processes that allow
