They have done an excellent excellent (repetition intended) job on commenting on the format, content and presentation of the reports. It would not have been possible for me in terms of time and effort and details to do for my students what they did in such a short time. Please convey my thanks to them. You have an excellent educational program. We get all this valuable help, support, and funding on top of that! Once again thanks to you, the mentors, and the reviewers.

This paper presents a freshman mathematics course reformaimed at reducing Calculus I preparation time by at least one semester, improving pass rates andultimately increasing the retention of engineering and computer science students. TheDimensions of Learning pedagogy, the use of technology and performance assessment are themain components of the framework used. A wireless mobile classroom was the keytechnological feature used in the redesign. The innovative Pre-Calculus course (IPC) redesignwas performed by a multidisciplinary team of faculty from the Schools of Engineering, Scienceand Education. The project design, implementation aspects, assessment techniques andevaluation results are given. The first course offering shows a

Likewise,they will assume steady-state behavior, but have difficulty to explain the reason. Students learnhow to approximate the evaluation of thermodynamics fluid properties, but cannot providereasonable justifications for the approximations. For example why the specific volume v (T, P),internal energy u (T, P), or entropy s (T, P) in the compressed liquid region can be simply beapproximated by saturation properties, vf (T), uf (T

one. The following is astep-by-step methodology I have developed for multiculturally transforming any curricula.Step 1. Educate Yourself - Before attempting to analyze and transform our curricula, we shouldeducate ourselves first on gender equity and multicultural issues. Educating ourselves requireskeeping an open mind and giving ourselves the time to learn and examine the relevant issues. We Page 2.56.1can educate ourselves by attending institutes and seminars offered nowadays at most universitiesand at conferences such as ASEE, acquiring and reading the literature from journals such asASEE Prism and the Journal of Engineering Education
, Switzerland, everyother year for three weeks in May. Another approach would be to have a summer or semester ofliberal education courses through established programs such as the Council on InternationalEducational Exchange, CIEE [11], or the Institute for the International Education of Students,IES [12]. The five-year, two degree model have been very successful, as discussed at theUniversity of Rhode Island and at Lafayette College. .Internationalization in the curriculum takes work. It requires a champion who can be recognizedfor the effort required. It provides many opportunities for personal and professional satisfaction. Page 9.797.9

THINK would be good for elementary/middle school, but I think harder high school/college courses need to be explained to students before doing problems. Doing problems wrong will not help students except to mess them up later. This was hard to do on my own. The principal concepts need to be given in class before attempting a problem by yourself.
