Thesedata are analyzed to identify potential pathways and critical junctions that may lead to studentsuccess or other outcomes.

the class. • Checks individual and/or groups of students’ understanding of the material/approach 2. Learning is enhanced when it is more like a team effort than a solo race. Good learning, like good work, is collaborative and social, not competitive, and isolated. Working with others often increases involvement in learning. Sharing one's ideas and responding to others' reactions sharpens thinking and deepens understanding. Examples:The instructor... • Provides discussion prompts that help to guide and elicit student participation in class discussion activities. • Facilitates class discussions by encouraging, probing, questioning, summarizing, etc. • Has students work on problems in teams

Each needs the other and both impact the other’s mission.Collaborations between industry and universities are key to America’s future success. Looking tothe future, industry will play an even larger role in university research efforts but competition forsuch partnerships will increase. To build successful industry alliances, universities shouldcarefully evaluate their IP policy, employ contracts that are clear and set appropriateexpectations, and focus on the value of the relationship as a whole as opposed to just a fundingsource for a one time project.Bibliographyi National Science Foundation, Science and Engineering Indicators, 2010.

Althoughresearch has shown CBE as being a highly effective learning tool, it pales in comparison to ahuman tutor5. Therefore, CBE should be used as a supplement to traditional instruction and notas a replacement8. In this investigation, we will determine how a computer-based system canmonitor student engagement in a manner comparable to that of real classroom teachers.II.

It was customaryfor a lecturer to use a textbook during the lecture while the students took notes. The Malaysianstudents were typically more analytically oriented than their American counterparts. They couldeasily solve equations, but many of them lacked understanding of the underlying principle of theproblem. To use a “common sense” design was often challenging for them. They preferred tomemorize and repeat what they found in the textbook. Thus, they were excellent at memorizingthe equations. However, not all assignments were memorized. In my classes, I required

The urgency with which this “vigorous engagement” has to be pursuedin the area of technical education is apparent from remarks made by William Wulf, in hisPresidents Speech to the National Academy of Engineering in 2003, in which he concludes withthis advice: “Our society is dependent upon technology created by engineers. Engineering ischanging rapidly, and I believe engineering education has to change even faster for us tomaintain our quality of life. We’ve studied it to death. We know what to do.
