effective written and oral communication skills as two of the top qualities in a prospectiveemployee. As STEM educators, we also know the value of helping students to become moreeffective communicators. As our traditional classrooms have grown more and more diverse, sohave the challenges associated with the inclusion of writing-based activities and assignmentswithin them. With a focus on the written communication component, perhaps some logicalquestions to ask are, how do we adjust our curricula in order to provide students with moreopportunities to build their communication skills? In addition, how do we create and implementa writing-based approach that also serves to enhance student learning without sacrificing thequality and quantity of material

Goalssupported a subset of the initial learners as they (~23 students) formed the WISER engineeringclub. To conserve supplies, these students disassembled the flashlights they had created and thenpracticed their skills by reassembling them. The students also developed a system of peer-to-peermentorship in which experienced WISER students taught new club members or even nonclub­members who were interested in the material. In 2015, the Duke student leaders taught two new curricula to the WISER students who wereinterested in more advanced topics. The goal was to teach WISER students: 1) how to construct anefficient recharging mechanism, and 2) the human-centered design process to enable the studentsto develop critical thinking skills that they could

Felder described several activities (open-ended questions, divergentthinking or brainstorming exercises, and problem generation) that he implemented in a junior-level fluid mechanics and heat transfer course and suggested that these activities both providedstudents with the opportunity to be creative and helped them develop their use of creativity tosolve engineering problems3.

The graph forpatient falling from a bed as in Figure 4 and falling from standing position are shown as inFigure 5.Having a clear distinction line between lying down and other activities, the next step is todistinguish between a lying on the bed (normal sleep) and lying on the ground (falling). Sinceboth lying on the bed and lying on the ground assumed to result in horizontal body position,there should be a mechanism to distinguish between lying on the bed and lying on the groundwhich will be discussed next. 426

IntroductionIn Fall 2014, women represented only 11.3% of computer science and computer engineering, and12.2% of aerospace and mechanical engineering students enrolled in these programs at CaliforniaState University Long Beach (CSULB). Figures 1 and 2 show the applications and enrollments byfirst-time freshman (FTF) in the computer engineering and computer science programs from Fall2003 thru Fall 2014. As can be seen from these figures, the one consistent trend is the lowrepresentation by women in applications and in enrollments, signaling a need for increasedrecruitment.As is the case with nearly all of the computing programs in the US, demand for and enrollment inthese majors continues to grow[1, 2].

and types, the primary modeof evaluation is either end-of-term student evaluations of teaching (SET) or faculty observations,or some combination of the two (Villanueva et al., 2017). Other less common methods includedmid-term evaluations, graduate and alumni interviews, and evaluation of classroom materials(e.g., syllabus, homework, exams). Though each form of evaluation might have its individualdrawbacks and advantages, combining approaches generally helps to mitigate the weaknessesassociated with any single method and paint more complete accurate picture of teachingeffectiveness.Although many faculty reported using some combination of measures to conduct evaluation, theway these measures were used were highly variable.

Third, it motivates students to complete the pre-class work since students are assessed on comprehension of the material in every class. As a result, about 80% of the students came to class prepared versus the approximately 20% using the traditional passive learning approach.1 That is the actual company's name.They also discovered that students' results on the final exam were greatly improved compared tothe traditional way they had taught the course in the past.

However,our experience shows that during the 1998-1999 academic year, only a few students were able tocomplete some of required classes at community colleges.Severe time conflicts and traffic problems in the Puget Sound area make it unrealistic to expectthat students would be able to attend community colleges on a regular basis.

In addition, the use of a hands-on robotic activityprovided an excellent “hook” that was used to show concepts of cyber vulnerability within thecontext of code security, wireless signal transmission, as well as programming. The roboticplatform also serves as a mechanism for teaching problem solving. By using a hands-on platformthroughout the curriculum, students are able to work with “real” problems. This project-basedapproach allows the students to gain an intuition about how to solve problems, and helps themunderstand the fundamental mathematical and science topics.Cyber Policy and Ethics: Students are presented with issues related to cyber policy and ethicsfrom historical and philosophical positions
