However, efforts to incorporate distance-learningprinciples into physical laboratory exercises have not yet led to a general mechanism orprocedure for performing physical labs remotely. The opportunity to be able to fully coverphysical laboratory exercises in distance learning setting would not only significantly enhancethe student learning experience, it would also enable less privileged educational institutions tooffer programs to a much broader target group of potential students who under no circumstancesare able to travel and attend on-site sessions.

Similar to students at other large,public institutions, MSU students sometimes find that courses have limited openings or arecompletely full during a given semester. ROSES students generally find ROSES-reserved sectionsopen when other sections of the same course are not. In addition, when they enroll in a reservedsection, they know that other students in the program will be enrolled in the same section. Thecommon sections of courses provide an opportunity to form class study groups, share notes withclassmates, and work on group projects more easily than if the ROSES students were not in theprogram.The ROSES seminar classes have three primary goals 1) to

Setting a Sampling Schedule: The duration of the project and sampling schedules that areconsistent with the objectives of the overall study must be defined. Air sampling schedules canbe designed on a random or a systematic basis for both long- and short-term studies. In general,studies that are designed to validate simulation models are of a shorter duration than studiesdesigned to document the extent of an existing pollution problem. In the case of

Additionally, these engagement practices' voluntary nature means that students fromminority demographic groups might not participate, and they are more at risk of dropping out ofan engineering program. However, studies have shown that participation in HIEP improves E/CSHIEP participation could be a predictor of academic success [5].

A converter of n pulses ideally generates only voltage harmonicsof the order nk on the DC side, and current harmonics of order nk±1 on the AC side, where k isan integer. The higher the pulse number, the higher the lowest harmonic frequency. For thisreason twelve-pulse converters are most commonly used in HVDC systems. Twelve-pulseoperation could be easily obtained with wye-wye and wye-delta transformer connections. Thehigher pulse converter number needs more complicated transformer connections and controlsystems. Additionally the voltage-to-earth stress on the valve (which is further from the groundpoint) increases and demands more insulation. Fig. 6 shows a twelve-pulse bridge rectifierconnection. All

Have the graduate students do a practice presentation without any faculty there. Some students are more willing to ask questions with only graduate students there and this helps everyone improve their presentation and technical question skills.3) Push your graduate students to present at local poster sessions. Many schools have a graduate student association or Engineering Week poster presentation. Push students to participate in these. These help display your research to colleagues at your university and also provide outlets for students to pull together

Accessibility is divided in two categories: consumer products and specializedequipment. Consumer products refer to those devices that we, as regular consumers, canpurchase easily online or in store. Unlike consumer products, specialized products can becustomized and ordered through vendors, which usually requires longer processing time andmore complex steps to obtain. Therefore, specialized products generally have lower accessibilitythan consumer products. Table 1: Comparisons of VR Systems based on Accessibility, Portability and Cost

Levels 4–6 are commonly referredto as higher-level thinking skills. Undergraduate instruction in engineering generally restricts itself toLevels 1–3 (especially 3), although sometimes Level 4 questions appear on examinations. If Level 4, 5,and 6 outcomes are desired, however, the way to maximize the chances of achieving them is to provideexercises that call for the required skills and constructive feedback on the responses throughout thecurriculum, not just in a senior capstone course.
